Hey "SammyDen" if you think the twinlights are so ugly then you musn't like the front end of your car too much either. Twinlights are designed to give an XR look and in that regard do look very similar. You are just envious. ;)

By the way ORSM very nice car mate, one of the best examples of the e-series.

you must be blind if you think an EL Fairmont with Twin Lights looks anything like an EL XR.
the proportion is compeltely different, the XR has the low profile bonnet and much smaller grill.
i guess i must like integra's and all other cars with twin headlight fronts, coz they're so similar.

No no no, you said the TWINLIGHTS are ugly. Not his car, nor the kit or bonnet. Thats why I said the twinlights look very similar as they replicate the look of an xr.

yes... TWIN LIGHTS.. the ACTUAL name of these lights (from the company) is TWINLIGHTS

i never said anything about his car/bonnet/kit/what ever.

the TWINLIGHT units themselves are ugly.
not at all integrated like the real XR lights are.

The twinlight is a CHEAPER, BETTER LIGHTING option than standard fairmont lights. thats why i have them, and being unique. If sammyden and anyother person doesnt like my attitude, BUILD A BRIDGE mate, and the OTHER forum i was banned on, in which i dont give a dam about, can sling it and quite obviously cant take it......
cars are cars mate, and i hate those clear taillights but i dont bag people 4 it. I have put things on these forums before 4 people to coment on, ideas , thoughts, and a great number of members put hour and hours into their pride and joys and it a real buzz when get people saying ur car is topps. I DONT class my car as anything special or above anyones, so u can take it or leave it, I DONT CARE.
DRHEMI, u done well finding those twinlight pics, but i'll post up a shocker i found last night....cheers mate
tony

And where exactly did i bag anyones car, i just said the lights were ugly.
you assumed i was saying ur car was ugly when i was infact simply commenting on the lights...
funnily enough, in a thread about the lights.
its not a thread about ur car, its about the lights.

so if you want to jump to conclusions then go ahead, but you'll see you assumed wrong in the first place.

oh... and i'm not your MATE

so how much better is the lighting from thw twinlights, people complain about the headlights in XR's and infact sometimes blame it on the set back nature of the lights into the surrounds, obviously this isnt the case if the twinlights don't have this issue.

SammyDen, you've got the most immature attitude. People with attitude's like yourself are the people who make aff .

I'd have to agree with ORSM5LTR on this one - Grow up or shut up. :

As a member of both forums I don't see how ORSM5LTR thinks his car is so great, I think it looks fantastic but there is more to having a nice car than looks and an attitude. All car lovers should treat each other with respect, accept individual opinions and know that each individual takes pride in their car and their personal preferences for the perfect car!

They don't do that on the other forum. I put heaps of time and effort into my car and it gets completely shot down in flames.

And SammyDen, I agree with ORSMEB. Of course the XR front looks better than the twin lights but I wouldn't go as far as calling it ugly.

So i have the cash for these, should i buy them, was going to buy some type x alpine subs off el_xr6 but he wont accept $650, yes I know these twinlights will cost more than $650 but its IMO its a worthwile addittion.

Funnily enough i will be painting them the same colour as ORSM5LTR's car as I have a cardinal red fairmont with the same colour as ORSM5LTR's el ghia GRILLE.

Love the suttle two tone............

Hope that makes sense.............lol
