depends on the car. i dont think the 2nd gen can pull it off. First gen maybe? lot of S13s run sleepy/lazy eyes, i think that doesn't look all bad.

Rev 6 got it right. Otherwise makes the car look like it needs a doctor, or going to puke all over the road.

I'd take the one that doesn't have cut springs or a painted black hood. And then I'd put a stock wing on it... and paint it the factory color... and get some different wheels... and get a lip that isn't broken... and get fog lights...

Older cars with a more box shape (Corolla, mk1 MR2) could pull this off a lot better. The MR2s headlights are too far back behind the bumper for the sleepy eye look to look decent. Also consider this, if side mirrors cause 5%-6% drag on the aerodynamics, consider the headlights will do the same thing. In a word, worse gas mileage.

One mod I see done to RX-7s, has lowbeams (dayrunners?) removed from the front bumper, and the main headlights show right through.



The angry car look may very well work on the MR2.

I tried it once, but I would never drive around with it like that.

It looks nice, theres nothing wrong with it, also some people are just to poor or actually prefer this over the rev6, I mean they are hell of sick but so freaking expensive, with that money I rather waste it on a power mod

I like what you've done with the lower edge of the radiator opening on the front. Blacked-out looks like it works pretty well there. Do you have any pics of the whole car to put it in context?


To respond to the thread: IMO sleepy eyes = "I couldn't afford a rev-6 style low-rise kit, so I played with my knob in stead" I just have better things to do than **** around with perfectly functional headlights.

I wasnt saying there was anything wrong with it. I am one of those poor boys that would buy power parts and then do this. I was just saying the poll is undecided.

I wasn't meaning this towards you, it was towards that people that think it's rice, I don't see how.
