I guess that is one way to get rid of the flip up headlights. I does not look bad, it just looks like an RX-8.

Yeah, that paint really accentuates one of the worst things about the RX-8...the hideous front end with the gaping mouth that makes the car look like the face of someone who was just corn-holed....lol!

All in all a skilled conversion but......why?

Great work to make it fit right, however, gotta agree on it not looking very cool. Maybe it's the paint job that throws it way off.

I saw this in a japanese magazine several months ago. It's a hot blonde girl that owns it. It's a whole lot of clean custom fab work, so I appreciate that, but it's not that great of an idea.

it doesnt look good as a FD but it looks better than an rx-8... they should have made the rx-8 come out like that... with the mazdaspeed frontend- looks so much better than stock
