i like them because it gives the front a little bit more modern look.

thanks for the positive comments.

They look too aftermarket/ricer for me, but nice car otherwise.

They both look like **** lol. Stock with a very dark tint looks best IMO... Well except 99 Spec.

I love you.

I mean I love the rx7. So any front end remotely stock and not bastardizing the front round+lip look is something I support.

Thank you for contributing to the un-bastardizing of the Rx7 design.

I still think 99spec is well worth it. That looks as awesome as you'll get without spending more $ on a bumper and 99spec lenses though...

i like the 99 spec front too, but I think for the money ($165 shipped) you can't beat it for modernizing your front end.

thanks again for all the opinions/compliments.

clear/black

i just got tired of my dingy front lamps, the were starting to look yellow, even after polishing them and they were always fogged up. i know i could have spent the $$$ on somethine else, but what the hell, it gave me a cheap thrill.

plus i gotta have some rice

I like it man.... I was thinking of going with these... but the paint on my bumper was cracking when I got the car and wasn't sure about the shape the bumper was in underneath... so instead of stripping it and re-painting it I just got a new one that fit the 99 spec lights

but I think it definately makes the old bumper look more modern and in my opinion not rice at all (although I would have to make the final decision after seeing an rx7 with them in person)

i was just joking about the rice, I was kind of refering back to CCarlisi's comment about them looking aftermarket/rice. Personally, they look like they belong on the car to me; same idea as the 99spec lights just made to fit the earlier bumpers.

they look better in real life than they do in the pics. i posted them because i don't think the pics that Jason is using on his site shows them off very well. this is the angle to look at them from.

secretly i yearn for a 99spec front end, but i am not willing to put the money into it, and plus if everyone changed to 99spec fronts, then where is the novelty?

thanks once again for all the positive comments.

i'll have to look closer, but I think Jason actually installed an orange "filter" on the turn signal portion, but I am not 100% sure.
