Besides that, the lighting on the original FC2002 bumper sucks.

Chuck, you couldnt be more wrong. The lighting is amazing good. Its a nice sharp, wide pattern. Incredibly bright. If you align the headlights properly, its not only very bright, but damn sexy on the road. Looks like a FIA GT car. Serious, the lights they use are NOT like the FD kit at all. Quite the opposite. A light upgrade is not neccessary. [/quote]

You want to come out sometime next week for me to do a comparision?



On the FC bumper, it uses the same IPF lights as the 3rd gen RE Amemiya sleek light kit. The beam pattern is no way wide spread. I had both the Knight Sports and RE Amemiya headlight kit and they use the same IPF lights. Myabe you are talking about having all 4 light up at the same time.



It's the same light they use on the FD and the knight sports. I have the bumper as well and I have seen them all.



Or you can do everyone a favor. Take a picture of the light pattern by parking your car in front a wall or your garage door and take a picture and post it here. See if it looks anything like this

See how sharp the cut off is? It's because it's a projector.



I already have one guy PM me about getting the upgrade for his original FC bumper.



If you can come out sometime next week, we can park our cars right next to each other and take some photos. Sounds good?

When i first aligned the lights on the garage, the pattern did not look like that. There was much much more light below the bumper. The car is in the body shop getting the full FC2000 kit painted, when i get it back, ill take a bunch of pics.

If i buy the front bumper can I take off the headlight ducks? I want to keep the flip up lights. To me that helps the rx-7 stand out among the rest.

You would have to modify the front end. And for that much effort you might as well go with a different front end if you want to keep the pop ups.

take off? its molded. And its one of the major attaching portions of the bumper. If you dont like that feature of the kit, i suggest you look at another brand. Or keep the stock one. =)
