Well, I suppose if I only ever took the car to one track day it'd be easier to just take out the headlight; maybe even two. But there would be some number of track days to which I could take this car at which point it would have been easier to just do this mod in the first place instead of having to remove the bumper, remover the headlight and reinstall the bumper each time. And I plan to take this car to many, many more track days than that number.

Moreover, this mod allows you to retain the blinker. You can't simply take off the headlight and leave the blinker on because the main bracket of the blinker is on the headlight. Leaving the blinker on makes the car more slippery, and however insignificant that performance gain may be, it's still a gain! Plus, the car looks better this way. And the mod was fun to do!

I could probably go on for an hour on why one would do this mod, but in a nutshell this mod is as much to do with function as it is to do with having fun modifying cars and basically putting the whole philosophy behind that into practice. This is something you just can't do with a road legal car, and that feels pretty good

As for the RX7, I think you're confusing me with one of the previous owners of this car! Like I said in my introductory thread, I understand this car is quite the whore :P And if I was a proud RX7 owner I probably wouldn't have put the number plate "CYA 13B" on my next car haha. I just keep it on there for the lols and to keep the history of the car alive
