Like someone said before, the CP Racing flushmounts look nice. But it does look like they require you to cut into the bumper. Here's a pic of them with the S5 front bumper.

I just like the ones with a solid piece of glass/lexan/plastic/whatever instead of the headlights themself sticking out.

Tony, keep the EBs, they're what makes your car your car!

Tony, I love the pop-ups Just make sure you convert to true HID if/when you do go back to pop-ups.

Sheesh, you guys aren't making this easy. It's a toss up right now. Aside from myself, I have to say that Aaron knows my car the best, so your opinion matters. 
I'm leaning towards keeping them but If I do sell them I'll part them for $500 shipped. This Includes 2 sets of PIAA X-treme Whites (H3) and the stock set It came with. Strangely, my old pop ups were converted to open lense with these PIAA's (H4) In place. I've since sold them and fear that I have to go through that same process again - If I sell them.

My Opinion is that the EBs weigh less than the stock pop ups and so from a performance standpoint they are better. I also think that the pop up lights make or break the rx7 they are very tastefull stock and look right on the car. They don't set you apart from other sevens but remeber we are like a big family who does'nt want to look like a seven they are just so pretty. But losing the linkage and the motors would be a weight bonus.

yea i knew that but the aerodynamics wont really matter during the day. most people choose to drive fast during night time.
