It looks pretty cool.. but what I'm interested in is the way the pop up lights come up only a little bit. Is there some kind of kit for that? Or can you just some simple wiring for that effect?

Oh, and WiseSports is a aero part maker, but I can't find a website and most everything I can find is in Japanese... but that would be my guess as to who makes the hood.

That's just the sleepy head light look (dorifuto ), you can manually make it do that by turning the ***** that control the headlights or you can simple make your head lights come up via pushing the button on the left hand side of the dash, pull the fuse for the headlight retractors and put them down, (note nothing will happen) then tap the fuse back in to place, this will allow your headlights to go down a bit every time you tap it. keep tapping till you get the high you want. You can rig a switch to do this from inside the cockpit.

Unfortunatly it is not my car. My car looks better J/k mines still pretty much stock. But it is a good friend of mines. The kit that is on it is a C-west front, and Veilside sides and rear. Also the wing is veilside. I have plenty of pictures of his car, but his web site has more. He is one of the owners of a shop called Car Version 2 which is located down here in Delaware
you can see more pictures of his car at http://carversion2.com/about.cfm

skunk uMmm i'm not sure that'll work! because first if you don't disable your bettery and you try to do this as you spin the **** after a while it'll spin back up! and when you disable the battery and put it back on it'll pop up again!

There might be a way of rigging the wiring, but I know there are kits to give your headlights the "sleepy eye" look, contact any japanese part suppliers/importers on the web and they should be able to get you the kit. It's a universal kit for all makes/models I believe.

All you need to make the sleepy eye headlight mod is a piece of speaker wire, a switch, 4 female speaker connectors, and 2 male.

-cut the wire to the leangth from the fuse box to the place that you want to mount the switch

-Attach the two male connectors to the one end of the wire

-Cut one of the wires close to the end of the wire with the male connectors and attach 2 female connectors. (this will be the new fuse holder)

-Now, attach the other 2 female connectors to the other end so it can plug into the switch.

-Turn your headlights on and use the switch to kill the signal that opens the lights.

My friend and i did this to his probe, it looked pretty cool.

Here's a drawing of the wiring... Yes, I know I should be an artist, haha...

cool, thanks. Seems pretty simple. I think that someone also makes a kit for the pop up lights. But i may try your method and see how that works out.
