Opinions Of This RX-7, Part II
FC 2000 front bumper molded to the fenders, with blue halo head lights and LED blinkers, changed the spoiler, added a roll bar, changed out some of the interior, shaved the stock 3rd brake light and exterior antenna, took out the defusers in the brake lights and cleaned the engine bay.
When I owned a coupe I always thought the verts looked kinda funny but they grew on me after a while. Thanks for your opinion.

The work is quality.
looks to busy for an FC.
FC's really only have one body line and its what sets them apart from all other cars.
So adding more lines and holes kinda makes it look like its some kind of underwater driving vehicle. (color doesnt help that either.)

I've never been a big fan of the FC2000 front end. Instead of molding the rear bumper to the rear 1/4 and the front bumper to the front fenders I'd have shaved all the moldings instead and left the door handles. The FC2000 front end already started the molding delete for you and the front end looks way better once you shave the moldings. I'd have shaved the holes in the fenders too.
Looks good though. I'd drive it. **** the haters.

There's a couple things I'd change about the car.
1)new fenders, don't like those little dents in 'em.
2)new rear bumper, doesn't look right to me.
3)new roll bar, the interference with the headrest doesn't make any sense to me.
But hey, to each his own.

Most of you may know that the vert seats go a lot further back (like 6-10 inches further) then the coupe seats. Im pretty tall, in the picture the seat are as far back as they can go, most people would be not be even close to the roll bar and I dont even drive with the seats that far back, I had jast put the top down so I pushed them back as far as they would go.
But no, my head does not come close to it.

The last time I posted pictures of the car it had a Mariah front and spoiler, I had bought it that way.
After about a year of working on the car, engine swap, drive train, suspension, interior etc. the list is a mile long, I decided to move onto the body and posted some pics of the car as it was. I got tons of suggestions, comments and a fair share of haters with junk yard 7’s (not to sound cocky, after all I did ask for opinions), **** I could pick apart a Lamborghini, but I would still love to own it.
After thinking about the constructive criticism and suggestions pretty hard for a while I went with the ones I thought I would like and I thank the folks that made those suggestions cause im real happy with the finished product.
Everyone hated the fender holes/vents, but I really like them so I kept them. I had the car appraised today and it appraised at an insurance value of over 20K (with receipts provided to them), independent stated classic car valued it at almost twice that. Im pretty much done with it, way too much time, money, blood, sweat, tears into it to ever sell it. I may show it here and there.
I appreciate all your opinions and suggestions, but unless it’s something really crazy new or really worth doing, I will keep it just like it is.
I love it.
