And excuse the jacking but 2gslse: Do you have a core support laying around you don't need? I am in need of one. Does it include the main support bar(crash bar) Mine was damaged by a Mitsu galant

True, but when I see an FD with some sort of sleek light kit, it just doesn't look right in my eyes. With them closed, it looks just awesome. With them open, I'm not seeing the car so I don't care Sleek lights may look better than the pop-ups up, but do you think they look better with than with the pop-ups closed? Cuz that's pretty much the only time I'll be seeing the car and in my opionion, no lights at all looks the best, so I'll be keeping the pop-ups, just improving the visibility of them....... Not to mention the classic rock station that I listen too is playing music that I grew up with in HS. Since when did Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains become classic?

Damn Galant owners. Ask him if he wants a new set of rims

The lights themselves are still square and can use some improving upon, hence the KS kit I plan to use. Knowing me I'll probably toss in some Hella 90mm modules just becuase those lights are fricken awesome. Same ones I have on the FC and I love them.

in comparison to the FC there quite rouned and to further give the FD a more flowing look when there up mazda gave the lights a more round cover around them and ditched the very square 2 piece unit. are they still square? well yea, but if you put a FC housing next to an FD housing they look very different

but im bias as a mofo, i love me some pop ups

I don't need it, I'm good, it's a few little pieces that were cut out, it would be easier to repair it that to cut a million spot welds and weld in the new pieces... all your's man.

I almost slapped him I can't believe I own an FD. WOOT!!!!! There will be a VERY detailed thread in a few months when I get into her, total build thread. We're going to use her as a rolling advertisement for what we can do. And as a template for a bunch of custom parts that we will offer, Tray and Phil will be the Test Mules. The parts will be "Dragon Approved"

Can't wait to see some custome parts

Sakebombs kit is really well done, i would have been in on the group buy had i not just purchased a fuel kit and meth kit. I have sakebombs brake lines let’s just say all of their stuff is top notch.
