call it what u want, but audi has more or less implemented the "diamond rope LED" on the headlights of its entire line of new crop of vehicles. u honestly think that when someone sees those headlights on an 8 that they'll be going, "wow how original" and not think it's a copy of the audi?

I like the idea...but the reason why I like the Audi's lights is hard to explain.
In the R8 pics...you notice that you can see the light strip CLEARLY from the front...at any angle. Mostly because the headlights were built around this concept. Plus...the uneven curve of the headlight makes it even sexier.
The RX-8 headlight doesn't have this curve...OR angle so the light strip is kind of off a little bit. It would probably take a lot of time to get that angle. Know what I mean?

I Like it. Good job/Thumbs up on doing a modification yourself. Those are always the most fun to work on 
Are you planning on doing this for the community, or possibly a DIY like swoop stated earlier?

such a bassakwards statement...
so is deloren ricer since it had gullwing doors for copying lambo or is it lambo who is rice for copying deloreon? (persoanlly i don't care which person did it first. my point is made. clarification is moot)
Maybe it's FORD who is rice for copying the whole covered wagon idea of 4 wheeled vehicles carrying people around from place to place... Hmmmm
So many cars out there today borrow design influence from each other.
RICE = Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements
But to each his own i guess... opinions and ********...
The lights look great. nice job on them!

Colorwise, I know it's not what most prefer, but I don't care for clearcorners w/ VR, so the warm white LEDs shown match the OEM look. Otherwise using bright white LEDs would match clearcorners well.
...also as I said, pm me for DIY, I've not done it yet, but will when I'm satisfied with what I've done.
