Look like another C-West sleek light copy, there are some for sale in the 3rd gen FS section I believe. C-West was one of the better sleek lights but they used CATZ lights which I'm pretty sure are not made anymore as I was looking for some backup lights for when I had my C-West sleeks.

These look like typical rip-off using generic fog lights, if your worried about lighting keep your pop ups. My real C-West's were fine but I do a lot of city driving.

It is sitting on a raceon usa banner, so I would assume they are made by Raceon. A lot of people have reported problems with their quality, I would stay away. When it comes to aero, you get what you pay for. Not to mention, they will have poor lighting.

ground dynamics = epic epic quality fail

Trust me, I bought a cwest replica front end from them, $125, FG and its cost us about $850 now to have it fitted properly. The bumper had to be chopped into about 7 or 8 pieces and glassed up in the right form to fit properly. Absolutely shocking fitment from GD. That was my experience anyway.

Yeah. ground dynamics is CRAP.... However, I have the Karmotion CF headlights and I like them. I like them a lot. They obviously aren't as good as the C-West ones but they are ok. I didn't have any fitment issues. Everyone who sees my car falls in love with the headlights.... I dont like the plastic headlight cover tho. Its not glass... just plastic. feels cheap... and the lighting, also not the best.... it comes with those Eagle headlights that they sell at every autozone.. cheap stuff. But you can change out the bulbs for better ones... thats wat im planning to do.

I bought a set of these off ebay earlier this year, made by raceonusa...

I like the look of them but once I went to fit them to the car I realised the quality was absolute crap...

The base piece doesn't match up to the carbon fibre piece well whatsoever and the clear cover once again does not match up well to the carbon fibre part.

The clear cover part is not a good curve, it curves nice and then in the middle there is a big dip in one of them...

The fitment of the lights themselves onto the base piece is once again crap...

I complained to raceonusa and they said they were going to take them off the market, they only did this on their ebay shop... and they said they would send me a free set of lights when they started selling them again so as not to get bad feedback on their ebay shop...

The lights are still sitting in a box in my room... What a waste of money... Don't buy them...
