Yeah, but regardless of your driving style, it should average out after a couple of times to a general idea, if any. What happened to those air intake light covers that someone was working on with your help, I think it might have been Mobius?

Haven't had time. Too many tests. That is on the agenda for next week. Spring Break, that is. A buddy of mine is going to Japan, I am building up my Rex. God, I am obsessed.....

I know what you mean, I've not gone a day without working on something, wether it be sunroof, cleaning it out, removing the old bumper, putting a T2 fuel pump in, gauges, etc. Just a never ending list of things to do.

I'm a big fan of the popup headlights, I think they look great. Gives the car a slightly sportier image, imo.

I think pop ups look better than most fixed lights like the ones on the older integras. However, I do like the S2K lights w/ the projector lights in an array more than the pop ups. I don't think those c west replacement lights that replace the stock location are an improvement (in terms of looks) over stock bc it's not on the nose of the vehicle but rather on the sides of the hood. Pop ups do weight more so maybe it was more of a fashion thing. It works for me.

Well, I do like both pop-ups and projector style. However, with my tax return I've decided to spend a little green and get the East Bear headlight kit for my 7. You can see the kit here

You might have to cut and paste for it to work. If nothing else, my car will definitely be different from most!

i think they make te car look more "stream line" and clean lookin when they are down. Not many cars have them anymore, there going for the aggressive look

i love pop-up lights too! Like others have said, it makes the car look a bit sportier. I always drive with them up cuz the front end doesnt look as long. The hood takes up half of the cars length!

Check fc3s.org under the how to's. He converted his headlights to HID for less than $500 if Im not mistaken.
