you clearly have the skills to get it done. I would absolutely go for it. This mod is in your wheel house as a body specialist.

Im with you. Its a good idea though. The stock RX8 light does resemble the SC light alot. Never really noticed.

I never noticed how similar they were. I think it'd be pretty cool to see someone do it.

You'll have to cut the fenders no? Since the SC headlight points down in the back and the RX headlight points up?

I'm very interested in the outcome as well..

Would it be too much if you put RX-8's projector in the existing housing to make it into dual projector?! Space might be an issue though..

Yeah, I noticed that too. If the lights did fit, they'd be pointing up at the sky.

I am not a fan of headlight/taillight swaps, but those headlights would actually look pretty good on the SC since they share the same shape and contour of the SC headlights. Go for it! I want to see the outcome
