Keep working at it man. Get those puppies done and then start showing them off! They are something different to look at compared to stock but i am sure they will look good lit up. And you always have the thought and pride that no one else has these.

Way to take your own route bro

oo..finally get to see them on the car and not chopped..it looks good..cant wait to see the final results..that should look quite sexy..so what are u going to do with the high beams? are u going to keep them? or are you going to shave them off?

Maybe you should remove the SC high beams... Doesn't the RX8 housing have highbeams already?

This is getting interesting. How about instead of shaving the high beams, why not just try to retro fit the round highs with the driving lights from a new gs430!! You are already chopping it up why not go all out?

i thought of that but the new gs, the headlights r all 1 piece. wasnt going to shave , i may just smoke or add accent lighting. if there was another light, i might go in that direction.

the very edge of the headlight touchews the high beam and theres alot of space. if i can raise the headlight a 1/2 inch it will look alittle better.

since the factory bumper is plastic, it would be hell trying to mold. but if i get an aftermarket kit. may be fiberglass front bumper it would be easier. here is a comparison on two headlights!

hell ya man, that looks like its ganna come out good , then just black out the high beam housing since you really wont need them and they pretty much become useless when you do, keep doing your thing man, staying original.
Plus i dunno what kinda camera you have put those pictures u take always look kinda blurry, may borrow a friends? just a thought not too important
