Anyone Seen This Bomex Bar Before?
I was browsing through the Yahoo Japan auctions and came across this Bomex front bar which I had never seen before.
It is a Bomex Big Mouse bar but with different lights that seem to be molded in quite well.

Personally I don't really like it but it definitely is interesting. Has anyone else seen this before?
I couldn't find any images online of this bar so I did a quick Photoshop to see what it looks like.
Note: I shaved the pop up lights

You'd need to Engineer the lights as they have been relocated. A smart cop would defect it.

Those lights on an RX-7 are the blinkers and parkers. You would still need to run the pop up headlights.

Yep, as above, the RX7 lights are basically the same as the NA ones as far as function goes.
So you'd still need normal headlights as well.

Ok, so I Photoshopped it again and added low profile headlights.
It looks even more weird now

Yes I have seen one! It was a gunmetal colour. I personally don't like cars made to look like other cars, but it fitted and flowed as well as any bodykit can. The car would need side skirts to fatten it up as the bumper is bigger and heavier looking.
