Jason at the RX7store.net knows what lights to get you, he is the one that ordered these for me. When I got the front from him I didnt know what lights to get and he said the bumper was made to go with these lights.

They are Catz SR if you call Jason he can tell you the exact model # or whatever and give you pricing.




Donovan.......dont worry man the IC is coming, I'll be posting about it soon (prob in the next week). I'm ssooooo sorry it took so long but we ran into problems with our welder and had to buy a new welder. We went all out and Brian got a Lincoln Electric that cost $4K!!!!!

what kind of lights did you get with it?

Did you get fog, spot or driving lights for it. I'm going to get a C-West or the Jimlab sleek light kit sooner or later and want to make up for the **** poor performance of the stock lights. I was just wondering on what lights you decided to go with and how good are they? Hows the construction of the bumper?

I guess they are fog lights.....They are the Catz SR lights, I'm pretty sure they are fog.

I just got it all together and havent tested the lights yet.

The shop that painted it said it was very good quality. As a matter of fact he said it was the nicest fiberglass bumper he'd ever seen, but they probably dont get very many expensive fiberglass parts in there. Personally I've never seen a fiberglass bumper up close and off a car where i could inspect it so I have no basis for comparison.

The fitment is pretty good, especially for a aftermarket part. The instructions are worthless due to Japanees. It took me FOREVER to get it on right (I spent all weekend on it) but if I had to do it again I could probably do it start to finish in 3 hours or so. The reason it took me so long was all the trial and error because of not knowing what all had to be removed/relocated and what all could stay put. I had to modify the air tray thats under the engine just a hair, it worked without modifying but it looked a little funny so I cut a small peice of it off. I wish the bumper and airtray would have worked together just like the stock bumper setup does but I guess this bumper is so different its impossible. Anyway it wasnt that big a deal it still looks good.


I'm very satisfied with it and think it looks great, now I just have to watch for curbs and stuff like that.

Oh yea, I didnt get the side skirts or any of that stuff, just the front bumper.

Thanks for the great replies guys!!!!!

Later,
STEPHEN

Poweraxel, what did you do with all that plastic air tray stuff under the engine? Did you keep it or remove it? It looks good with the FMIC installed in the mouth, which FMIC do you have?

Thanks,
STEPHEN

I'm not sure, your going to have to ask him and tell him to stop wasting time with the V8 stuff and get thouse HID light kits out. Jim just don't use those $3,000 Lambo lights!

Looks really nice, I'm impressed, I also like the Apexi side skirts. How much did they charge you to pain it?
