I was only looking at the exhaust. how could they do that with having that huge gas tank on the driver's side? Well it would be possible with a fuel cell but otherwise i don't see how it's possible.

And those louvers are pretty sick IMO. Same with the diffuser.

Either, the driver side muffler is nonoperational or custom welding? I think if it has just the stock motor, it isn't really necessary since I think the 12A doesn't make as much back pressure compared to the 13B's. I could be wrong. But I have seen a couple cars, not RX7's though, that has a nonoperational muffler just for looks.

Louvers are really nice, but personally I think it really depends on the rest of the body work.

Probably got it from an MX-6. I was actually thinking of getting a pair from my friend's car. They are still Mazda, and you don't see them everyday.

You know I was driving behind an Acura earlier today and saw the way the tailpipe was set up...

Maybe he bypassed the gas tank by mounting the muffler latitudinally rather than longitudinally and then just bend the tail pipe to the driver's side? That seems like the only way you could make it functional... unless he just ran two tail pipes from the muffler on the passenger side which I doubt.
