DEPO Euro Black headlamps and corners. Same setup I have on my green car. They are better known as the true "black beauties".

I think i'll be picking up a set. They look better than any headlights i've seen on any SN95!

Black beauties are my fave with stock nice Cobra lights in a close second.

These are the headlights I used to have

But I like the ones DFG posted better.

Chrome, Anthracite, or Silver. Either way it'll look great on your car. I DO think chrome would look best, but I know a lot of people hate on chrome for some odd reason.

hypercoated is a cross between silver and anthracite. shifts colors a bit in different lights. 18s all the way. 17" fr500s look too small and weird.

I love this, they look hypercoated which is my personal favorite for FR500s... definitely get 18s if you can swing it, so worth it.

I thought about black, cause it would tie in the louvers... but it just doesn't look good.

I enjoy causing a little bit of that "hate to like it" feeling. I like getting a reaction. Putting an Lsx in will satisfy my sick ego even more so. I had those made as a joke to a local fbody club. I don't hate any brand... But I do hate when people think their brand is the best and only way to do things...automotive apartheid if you will.

I agree!
I work on cars for a living, just starting out but still, I know would look at other brands other than Ford, Nissan and Acura/Honda come to mind. I just find that you can get equally if not beater power out of a 351w based motor. I hate the whole "Ls1 in a mustang, LS1 in a miata, Ls1 in a 350z, LS1 in a f*cking caravan". It gets REALLY annoying really fast, putting an LSx motor into anything isn't unique anymore. I would have 1000000x more respect for somone to swap a new 5.0L DOHC into an SN95 than putting an overused GM block into a mustang.



Or maybe someone should put one of those 6.1L Hemi's into an SN95 ;)

AHh...you got it twisted good sir. Again, I don't care what brand is on it....IF i could have afforded it, I would be putting a 2JZ-GTE in my car right now....with a stalled TH400 behind it. I don't give a CRAP who's name is on it or where its built....if its moves the hell out, I'm all about it. Never said the LS-x was the end all be all of motors....however, I DO think it has MORE potential than a SBF....in CERTAIN applications that is. To each his own. We've covered this arguement before...this thread is about wheels.
