Default GB Interest: Rotary Run Racing Headlights!!!

I met up with Ramy this weekend to take him down to Orlando to pick up his car. As we were having lunch he mentioned about replicating my rotary run racing headlights. These headlights have been discontinued for 2-3 years and are impossible to find, I believe mine are the only set in the US.

We would replicate the headlight mold, improve the brackets and source the lights for a complete kit. The lighting on these headlights is phenomenal and is
considerably better then stock. Not to mention they look BADASS at night, I cant tell you how many times I have gotten complimented on these headlights.

This thread is to gauge interest on how many people are interested in a set; if we gather enough interest I will give them to Ramy to start making the molds and begin the process. Its important to note that you will need to cut the frame and the front bumper to fit, and the wiring is extremely easy. Ill let Ramy chime in on ballpark pricing and how many people we need to get this going. This will be a great alternative to the $1500 re-amemiya and the $2000 rmagic lights as we were talking about pricing these under $1000, which is a steal for their light-output. You also do not have to worry about any clear lenses breaking like on the cwest and amemiya lights.
Couple of things to note:
You have to cut the frame and front bumper for these to fit, when we take these to the fabricator we will talk about modifying the bracket and bucket so you dont have to cut the frame or bumper. These will come with HID, the lamps and all the specifics are unclear currently as we are just trying to gauge the market. You can also have the ability of having a cold intake option where leaving one of the fog lamp holes empty and running the intake through their. My kit right now has PIAA xenon lights, so I cant say really provide a current light output as i dont have HIDs.

Feel free to ask any questions, I have had these for a few years. This thread is more for "testing the waters", if we get enough interest we will produce them. Here are a couple of pictures for those unfamiliar with them:

Awesome lights man! Possible for UK use? I think it would just mean having adjustment as with the cheap ass ones on my fd, (check my avatar for an image)!

I'm interested but would have to see an approximate cost to know for sure.

That is something I will have to talk to Ramy about. I will probably see him this weekend at a local gainesville rotary meet; so I will ask him then.

I saw those headligts on another FD back in 2003, A red show car. There are actually a few FD's with those lights here in Cali.
