there OEM

 

^ That is correct. They are part numbers:

FD01-51-SE1A
FD01-51-SE2A

You can order them from Ray Crowe at Malloy Mazda in Woodbridge VA.

 

It's been almost 4 weeks. Update!!!

I'm ready to buy that kit.

 

any updates?

 

Hopefully this will be available soon!

Might I suggest a plug and play option with the parts that need to be modded/cut all ready to bolt in? Would love to see some more pics as well, especially on a black FD.

 

? Update ?

 

Subbed.
I want a set when there all ready

 

I guess this isn't going to happen, unfortunately. It's been months & no update

 

Oh come on man... He does have a point: It has been FIVE years. Besides he wasn't the one who started a thread getting people all excited and ****...

I've been following Superdan's lights from the beginning and even though he is a cool guy, maybe it is time for him to partner up with someone who has the time to take his project into fruition.

 

They looked nearly done what left is there to do?

 

I hope Dan gets this done. The last I spoke with him (about 4 months ago) he had solved the headlight shroud problem. The shrouds he made off a mold of mine had some fitment issues and Dan wanted to fix this. His proposed solution to this seemed like a really good idea and one that would work. That's the last I've heard.

I know he had the brackets ready to go and all the lighting components, it was just the fitment of the shrouds that remained. He was also working with Shine on this so I'd think he had the right guys involved.

Here is hoping for a positive update from Dan

 

Thanks for the update Mr. Hayes

As for all the people crying for updates, this project has and continues to be an evolving project. If you can't keep a positive attitude about the development how will you react to doing the mod if you catch a snag once you receive the product?

Just an opinion, keep it classy

 

I think you'd see more patience if there were any updates at all....no matter how minor they were. Hasn't been one in over 3 months. Most aren't asking for a finished product, just any type info.

 

So are these making their debut at Sevenstock?! That would be AWESOME!!! Is that why there haven't been any updates? Waiting for the big reveal?!

I'm not counting on it - but I'd love to be proven wrong.


So am I still an ******* for "not being patient"? I mean, it's been another, 4? 5? months since:


It's just like I said earlier, another "Just one more thing, then..."

I would really like to see these happen, but, after 5 years of this same old story...

David - why don't you enlist someone else to replicate these? Nothing gets people moving like competition. Perhaps someone with more experience can have a prototype out before we get our next update from Dan.

 

They actually DID make their debut at SS16. Toyzzzz will be there again tomorrow for anyone interested who'd like to check them out (white 94 FD).

 

Will be done by December 1st. Hopefully shine can get molds made quickly, I'll olen a GB once the molds are done.

 

Good to hear from you Dan! Thanks for continuing work on this

 

got one just about done. there was a lot of figuring out how to make it work the way i want. so hopefully tomorrow goes a bit quicker for the other side.

 

WooHoo!

It's December 1st! I was like a kid on Christmas Eve last night!

Let's see these things!

 

These are the only pictures I have on me. I will try to get some more tonight if I remember.

I will be sending off the new shroud to Peter, one of my previous test customers. Since he has the kit installed it won't take him long to verify fitment.

Assuming the fitment is what I think it will be, I'll be able to knock out the second shroud and no time. Some of the modifications I have made to this design include...
Slightly larger openings for the headlights, this should offer a little bit more adjustability. However I may make them a little bit smaller before final production if the fitment results allow me to do so.
Additionally the shroud what is trimmed down to almost nothing, and then I grafted it into a modified version of the stock shroud. This should eliminate fitment issues on the upper edge of the shroudwhere it meets the headlight cover. As well as the lower part where it meets the bumper.

The original


New

 

just to clarify, the pic of the new one is while it was in a rough install. I hope it goes without say, but if it does not... the final pieces will have a smooth finish, likely primed.

again it is extremely unlikely that there will be a carbon option. with the different curves of the piece it is very difficult to get the weave to lay in an appealing manner. and therefore it is likely that only 1 in 5 will look right. this creates too great of an increase in the price of the ones that are sellable (basically 6+ times the cost of fiberglass).

if shine says they are doable in carbon i will revise. but i wouldn't hold my breath.

 

side note:

in the pics the light openings are unmodified.

 

Super excited to see progress on these.

 

I sent off a shroud for test fitting, when i get the fitment results, i can wrap it up. then I will send them off for a final fitment. then molds, and production

 

Awesome! Thanks so much Dan!!!!!
