I thought the entire point of this thread was for FLUSH headlights.
Then some dimwit decides to post a photo of a 2nd-gen, as if an s-chassis can be made to look like that. It cant, it just cant be done
right. And if it is possible, the costs exceed the effort.
Thats the thing about this industry, there are people that wont take no for an answer. Thats all fine and dandy, as long as they understand the significant cost and labor involved in pursuing (and completing) their objective.
Its either something is too expensive (story of my life) or that the person simply never finishes a project they set out to do (story of most guys on zilvia). Millions of pending unfinished projects............ like my S13.

If you want it bad enough, do your research, buy your parts, and give it a shot. You're in Puerto Rico, you guys know how to work with what you got. Thats the way I've always done things. If you dont want to deal with the bullshit, buy a pair of Cibie 200mm headlights and call it a day. It works for TONS of enthusiasts and no one EVER complains after going with those headlights. Simple, effective, and inexpensive - you have my word on that.
oh, and in regards to the 1st-gen NSX headlights... I just dont get it. The optics arent anything out of the ordinary. They're good, but not great by any means. With that said, why attempt to install something that simply doesnt fit? Matej insists that he can make it work, more power to him. I looked at it a few times and said NO WAY. Those headlights have a chinaman's chance in hell in fitting. I'de love to see it happen, but I highly doubt its possible to be done
properly.
properly (my definition):
- lifts and retracts
- optics are correctly aligned
- vehicle body & core support is not hacked
- uses an OEM-style bezel that fits and looks proper
