From what I've seen...CWest headlights has a bluish/purple-ish tint to it. The RE-Amemiya ones are cooler...it's regular non-color (maybe smoke tint) and has the black outline housing you're talking about. Not sure but I think Rotary Extreme used to make carbon fiber ones too...

I've been looking for a real good set of fixed headlights for my FD but just cant find a nice set.I dont want to say anything bad about Rotary Extream stuff but there fixed headlights dont look the best quality.Even the ones that have the Carbon fiber housing.

He is right. The answer to your other question is yes, most of the sleek headlights suck.

I know...That's why I'm lookin for a realy nice set.The set on the car in the picture looks sweet.I'm assuming they are not a cheap name brand.I was told that there is a set from Japan that is bad *** but I havent seen anything.

Agreed. I use to have this kit (Authentic Cwest Carbon Fiber kit). The exterior is nice and all, but the light quality sucks.

I was looking at that car and the rear looked like it was split and pulled for the extra width. Nice looking car. Alex Pfeiffer's pink widebody 7 was right next to it.

It does look a little bit like it from the picture.

From the original picture, though, the front fender is somewhat different. The vents on the side look to be larger in comparison to the RE Amemiya kit in your pictures.

The rear and sides are different too. Stretched. Very interesting, hm?

I like it... but hey, I'm biased. :P

OKRX-7, did you see the car at SEMA?
