Makes the car look like it has a tired look but maybe that just the pictures...and the fact that it's construction paper.

That's just the "sleeper" look.

To each his own but honestly this style belongs on old vw bugs...I just don't think it will look that good once you get them all done but hey if you like it go for it.

Just my .02

I reckon it would take what little aggression the RD2 has in it's front-end away. I can't see that being very good for aerodynamics either.

Personally, I like them, but I agree that 3 out of 4 of them look too feminine. I like the one on the passenger side bright. I think they should follow the lines of the car a little more and not stick out so far. As Socks said, it might be better if they were angled more aggressively.

I guess I'm not following what you are talking about as far as the mounting. I would not trust a pressure fitting against an ABS bumper, and sticking anything under the bumper would lead to an ugly gap between the bumper and the light. These would have to be screwed into or double sided to the bumper.

I want this project to work! I would be more then happy to mask off my bumper and lights, then use fiberglass and bondo to make a mold, then send it in for fabrication. I believe CD could take those molds to make their own molds for use with FG/CF.

I'm not trying to take your project away, just give ideas. I want eyelines. I also want them to look like they belong there. They will go sexily with my angel eyes and be a much easier project then a full bumper FG/bondo job with repainting.
