lol, really?

Deesan.. it actually doesnt look too bad. but like they said it prob is much deeper than the FD lights

 

the rx8 lights are a fiar amount bigger than the 99 spec turnsignals.

TinMan is correct it is illegal to put hids in a halogen housing. point of clarification though, just because it is a projector doesnt make putting hids in them legal. there HID (xenon) projectors and there are incandescent (Halogen) projectors. also a side note, there are hids in reflector housings in some cars, ie prius.

im not surprised, but at the same time i dont get it. i could see if what you were doing took away from the FD's look (ie rx7.8) but when you are effectively keeping the same shape what does it matter? (the fact that it wouldn't really work is irrelevant.)

also why do so many 7 guys hate the 8? i understand its not the performer the 7 is, but at the same time its never claimed to be. (has it?) and its not like the rotary has been strictly a sports car motor, been in trucks and sedans also. is it the "back seats/doors" the majority of cars in this segment have a back seat, and the doors make access to the back seat convenient and don't take away from the coupe appeal.

the style is defiantly different, but consider most automakers have a drastic differences from mid 90s to now. and imo its the best looking in its segment.

overall its not a replacement for the fd (but there really isnt one under $100k (mild exaggeration)), but would make a great daily driver.

just my 2 cents. continue thread.

 

new pics

 

very nice Buff, I always liked those xxrs.

Heres one of mine standing still for a change



aannnddd moving:

 

FACT!!!!! you have one of the nastiest 7s ive ever seen....love the wheels broski!!!!

 

Decided to go on a little joy ride for abit and snapped a few. dang overcast

 

Shrifty: OMG!!! I always drop my jaw after any new pic of your car, i wish i could one day get mine to look somewhat closer to yours sir.



Kristall-99: Love the look of it !!! what color is that?

 

dont you love how i post my pics then shifty posts his right after to dwarf my photos....lol

 

@buff... aside from the stretch.. kudos for keepin the stock look...
stock lowered fd is always a pleasant site to see.. she looks good..

 

Thanks for the kind words, buff i had no ill intentions posting my pic, it is a pic thread after all lol.

 

Shifty, how hard is it to keep the polished CCW's clean and not looking like crap?

 

At a local car-meet

 

dangit shifty!! stop it!....not literally cause id be even more upset lol. YOu so make me want sleek lights.. are they the RE-A's?

 

I have been a member and used this site as a great resource for more than 7 years.
I would like to say thanx to everyone. I have never posted or threaded so here is my first attempt. This is my Dale Clarke Fighters garage RX-7.

 

Not too hard really, im using dtc-60s and they are dusty as hell. I just make sure i rinse the dust off as soon as i get home, wash the rims and put wax sealer on them

 

Lol, yes they are original RE-As. They are the first version so the light output isnt the greatest so ill be upgrading to projectors over the winter

 

Figured i'd jump in on this photoshop kick... i've been playing with the idea of wrapping the bottom lip of my burnout front bumper and yesterday I cracked it so i photoshopped what it would look like with dark carbon wrap... i think it looks pretty sick, thoughts?

 

^
lip looks good....
Not really a fan of the flat lights..... but it really works on your setup.. looks like a exotic

shiftyRX7:
Your car must be a bully on the track... It looks so bad ***...... I would pull over if that thing was screaming behind me.

 

Looks great.. better than without IMO.

 

I'd wrap the bottom portion of the center airdam as well.

 

I was thinking that too so i did a super rough photoshop and don't think i like it, throws me off for some reason:



Here's some other angles:

 

Also in agreement. (tho would go with a non-carbon material for the wrap) I'm no body guy/know what's possible or not, but have always thought those skirts would look better if the top edge were somehow molded to the body as well, as in if there weren't a line where the two met.

 

i got feeeed

 

wish i went with a red FD now, they just look so nice on a fd.
