well hey, it would be a hit on Halloween!
Personally i like the rounds, becuase pistons are round and thats what powers my Fd. Kinda ironic if you ask me.

I must admit I was expecting a more positive response about the lights. Everyone thats seen them in person has loved them, maybe they were just being nice? Whatever, I love em, and I like being unique.

We did the 99 conversion on 2 FDs this weekend, and discussed using rotors as well as other designs. The best idea was to use smiley faces.

my 2c; If I had done it (and I wouldn't), I would have used that pattern upside-down (ie: pointy bit down)

Wow. I'm even getting crap from the newb with the miata. I guess I don't have to worry about anyone copying me then.

I dont really think theyr that great. They dont flow with the rest of the car. I would have put a black circle in the center of the rotors to better get the point across of what they were

i think the spacing between the rotors should have been more even. you know, the brake rotors are close together and the turn rotor is kinda "out there".

It's unique looking. I just thought the pumpkin comment was hilarious.

Yeah it's ok since it is unique. But I still think nothing looks as good as the round ones.

while its commendable for its uniqueness, sorry im not into the whole "look i have rotor, i are cool" thing with the rx8 having the rotor shifter, rotor seat headrest things, etc...

i think its very very

yeah the round ones are popular. maybe theres a reason. they look the best.

^^ I agree

It's different yes, but I personally don't see the need for rotor references throughout the vehicle. I go with the more "tame" looking 99spec rounded lights, but for what it is though, rzograbian did a good job.

Not my cup of tea, but cool nonetheless. When I did my conversion I thought about either doing Mazda symbols or the efini logo.
