Why is everyone sooo afraid of something different? Why shouldn't the owner want it to look different than every other FD with pop-ups or sleek conversion. Dare to be different!!! If the owner likes it that is all that matters!!

Didn't he asked what we thought of it? If you like it state that. I think it's hideous and that's my opinion. So be it if the owner likes it, are tastes just aren't the same.

I like the lights, hate the car.


In my opinion it looks better than all the sleek headlights kits that everybody puts on their cars. Now those are fugly.

I kno will get flamed for this but I like the idea of the celica lights, although Id modify them in some way so they arent so easily identified

These are UGLY. Is the owner blind or something?

And most of us don't like them not because they are different but because they are UGLY!. There are many exterior mods that look different from the stock but they are beutiful, these lights are definitely not.

I think that they actually go with the stock lines pretty well, not saying id spend the money to have them put on my car but they dont look bad, and probrably provide decent lighting

To me, the lights clash with the curves of the FD. The Celica lights have an angular look while the FD is all about curves in the right places.

Oh please. No offence but if you want decent lighting just put some HID's. And they don't go with the stock lines. They actually ruin the stock lines which are all the beauty on an FD.

But that's just my opinion.

It looks kinda cross eyed when you see it straight on.... Plus I don't like that bump they put in them. If they were in line with the 99 signals then might look better..imo

If you look at the Celica, the whole appeal is about trangles and sweeping curves that end in hard corners, so the lighst go well with that look, the FD is all about compound curves, and therefore it clashes with the rest of the feel, I say go with your instikts as far as your mods go and you usually can't go wrong since at least "You'll" be happy, even if the rest of the forum is tearing their Hair Out !

Never mind it being ugly, i can't imagine how much that cost... custom hood, fenders and nose, plus buckets for the lights and wire splicing? Jeez.

The car looks great the way it is, why junk it up with this silliness.

I love how people do really stupid things just to be "different". I guess I could shave half my head, paint my face purple, and wear a dress in public. I would then be "different".

Different just for the sake of being different is idiotic IMO. The fact is, that conversion is ******* ugly. I don't car how much skill it took to pull it off, what a waste....

People are not afraid of different, WE ARE AFRAID OF UGLY CARS BUILT BY STUPID RICERS THAT SOMEHOW SELL THERE SHITTY CIVIC FOR ENOUGHT TO BUY THE CHEAPEST RX-7 THEY CAN FIND. Although i admit they are put in well, i could probably put a set of F-150 tailights in my bumper and make them look very clean too. But that doesnt make them cool does it?
