Best FD Sleak Headlight Kit?

I want to go flush.. I've seen a number of FDs with this mod and I've found a few options.

Which kit is the "best"?

Considerations being:
1) quality
2) hood/bumper alignment
3) light output
4) price
5) ease of install
6) looks
etc.

Thanks

All the sleeks iv'e seen are based off of one sleek headlight kit. With that said, your best bet is to buy the kit for cheap and replace the bulbs with projectors in them.

Well I find the stock headlights to be very bad with PIAA bulbs in them, so I'm not sure it changes much..

Anyway, I saw those listed in the GB forums (EVO-R) with projector housings. And they are compatible with any H3 HID kit. I'm just wondering if there is a kit known to be of the highest quality, with some good customer reviews. Evo-R any good?

RE or rotary extreme's version was a BIG pain to install. I had to weld up my own mini subframe just so they could mount to it and fit correctly. Il have some pics of that whole ordeal up in a day or two.

I'd personally go with the RE-Amemiya or C-West...but the Rotary Run lights (if you can even find them anymore) that purerx7 has and mentioned are supposed to have a very good light output.

output is AMAZING, especially with HID, it uses larger projectors than any of the other sleek head-light kits.
