Dont like it at all, not for the rx7, makes it too much like the camaros or watever other crappy muscle that had it that everyone takes to the drag strips.

as a disclaimer to all who i offended with that comment IMHO.

as well this should probably be in non tech.

You may not thank me for my louge response. Could try the V8 section as well.

I might have a different opinion if i actually saw it on the car even rough finished and just placed, but i would think itd just look tacky.

as well how much would it weigh, how well would it hold up to speed and does it just stick on the top or is it a proper hood?

Dont worry you did not hurt my feelings. like I said Im searching for feed back and is not a finish product and once is finish I will post pictures on a vehicle. and yes this is intended for diferent set ups like taller turbos or maybe v8 conversions.

I too am not a fan of this style. For the RX-7 FB you might want to consider the IMSA style vents, they're functional and seem to fit this style of car.

It doesn't look bad, no. But I doubt anyone with a 12a/13b/20b would buy it.

Looks pretty good. I agree with Jeezus though, and dont think it fits the rotary style. With a V8 in there, maybe.

If it is for a v8, than I say awesome, but for a rotary, I like mine better.
