I'd be leary about it -- I've heard alot of complaints about CP Racing, and while that may not mean they suck for everyone it's enough to keep me away.

That said, the kit also looks awfully expensive for what you get. Also I've heard that the flush light kits (for any gen RX-7) seriously suck as far as beam spread and brightness. I don't know if I'd pay someone money to make my car less safe.

(plus, I love the popup headlights. If they ever make a 4th Gen RX-7 I'd be sad if it didn't have popup headlights)

You have just not read enough posts yet.

they take months to ship stuff. Hard to contact and stuff like that. Lots of threads in the good/bad forum on them.

With the lights, wheels, and beauty of the overall car in that picture aside...the most important element has to be the Burger King in the back.

I hate the flush headlight kits for the 7. I even hate that dual bulb setup. IMO it looks awful. I think there is a reason mazda didn't put flush headlights on the 7, and it has something to do with the slope of the front where the lights are mounted. It doesn't allow for an open enough headlight to get proper spread, if that makes any sense.

I've also not heard too many good things about CP Racing and I've found their prices to be a little outrageous.

Well I am keeping one set, for "mr.Hankey" but i may sell the other set.

They include
assembled housings (FG)
80mm Hella brand lights
Easy patch connectors
Modified fulcrum directions
Install directions

But I would rather tell you how to make them rather then sell a set. I think I have a local buyer anyways...
