seven lust did mine too (i posted in good guy section). They look perfect. Not only did the conversion look good, but he refurbished the finsih & they lok new! Mine were pretty sun-faded & they are a nice brilliant, shiny black now. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Hmm, Another Fd in Odenton? Have you stopped into the N.E. forums? I haven't seen you post before. Are you going to come to the Maryland BBQ in Crofton this spring?

Wow they look great. I was gonna do the conversion to mine, but I know I would just mess them up. How much does he do them for? I would love to have mine done.

I bought a perfectly running fd for 5k, it only had 3k on a fresh rebuilt motor and newly rebuilt turbos. For some reason my aunt wanted to get rid of it quick so she could buy a new miata

he charges $70 plus shipping back to you. i would highly reccommend it, better than buying the real ones for 500. yes the car ran perfect when i bought it for 5k. it lasted about 2 years and then it overboosted on a cold night and blew an apex seal. it was completely stock when i bought it. as u can see the paint isnt the best and the interior needs some work, but overall it is a great find for me and im very glad i got it, just cant wait to get running again with a streetport and non seq. twins. keep the comments coming, i have to let sevenlust know how people like them, and if yours are still in the stock form, you should pm him and get some details.

It's $80 now actually, due to polishing and buffing. I was thinking that the turn signal blinker circle was supposed to be a little stretched towards the outside though?

yea it is nice that he polished them up, mine were getting pretty faded. and yea i also think that the turn signal is supposed to be more on the curve of the light towards the outside, but im not complaining at all, i love how they look and i dont think too many people would really notice.

the conversion for just the two tails is $65 and I will polish all three lights ,so they match.... if you are wanting all three lights converted it will be $80... you pay shipping both ways... I have done many conversions and have no interest in screwing anyone out of thier lights ... the lights are done very well with a special kind of paint not just your normal flat black...I have seen them next to real 99 spec and they look damn good...the spacing of the circles are correct...all conversions will get more glue to help keep moisture out and will be polished to look as new as I can get them to look... I can not do everyones at the same time, but if you would like I can do them... turn around time usually is about a week in all... it only takes a day or so to convert them, depending on the weather since it is winter time...if you need them done just let me know...thanks for all the interest, John

When you said you'll polish all 3 lights for 65 or convert all 3 for $80, what is the difference? Do you actually do some sort of conversion to the center section?

yes if you look closely in one of the night pics you can notice that he converted the center brake light so it is 3 seperate sections, it is a small difference that not many people will notice but i like.
