Rain guards

Believe these are the stock number for the rear rubber headlight gaskets that cover the gap between the hood and rear pop up headlight housing:
FD01-51-SE1A (right protector)
FD01-51-SE2A (left protector)

Info only, there are two additional parts that will be required for those wanting to replace their headlight housing rain guards. The additional parts needed will be: FD0151SL1A (right) and FD0151SL2A (left). The parts I advised on in my previous thread covered the gap between the hood and headlight housing. These two parts cover the remaining gap between the fender and the headlight housing. These parts sell between $48 and $38 depending on the dealer. Just thought I would post for those that might be interested in swapping them outt[img]blob:https://www.rx7club.com/31876072-eff0-42a0-99cf-66fc42acb97f[/img]

I bought my replacement rain guard gaskets already, which should be arriving any day now by mail. Just waiting patiently on this kit to get finished [img]blob:https://www.rx7club.com/28b4a93d-55a6-4b27-bc65-1b944da19fed[/img]

Ok guys!

Here is what we're calling the FINAL iteration of the shrouds and for all intents and purposes our sleepy lamp kit. The next step is to send the shrouds off to have molds made, then vacuum forming a few pieces to make sure everything is coming out as expected. From there, we will arrange a Group Buy with Garage Alpha - so expect a new thread documenting the process from when I took over.

That Group Buy will help determine numbers and give us time to get our lamp orders in with Hella, production time for headlight bezels and produce the shrouds. Of course, wiring, ballasts, bulbs and instructions will also be included.





So all you guys that have waited this long - are you still in?
