Sorry, but thats fugly..... I mean did they even try to match the lines of the car, or did they just stick a bunch of boxes to the car and then mold them with some fiberglass??

Wrong, just wrong

Dig the purpality of it... Or is it purpleness?

I kinda like the front end, but the wing needs returned to Boeing... I'm in favor of a nice low profile GTU type wing.

I wonder if those rear brake vents are functional.

Man, good taste just called and they want their RX7's back. The white one is ruff looking. What is sooooo bad about the way an FB looks any way?

BTW this is all IMHO

I dont think those are actually 944 tail lights... look lik ethey came off a Bently to me.. (944 lighst are much narrower, and I don't *think* they have the orange section)

BTW, if they were trying to get that to look like a 944 they've FAILED MISERABLY. Who ever said "that's as close as you're gonna get" was only WAY off...


I was wrong too... I was expecting this car;

Hmmm yeah if anything, I like just the plain FB styling with a simple air dam. Maybe a little bit more filling in on the rear bottom.

FB's have small butts. I want mine a little more plump and supple.

I just don't like it when people try to turn it into another car...

I agree, making them more road worthy is one thing, but changing the look is like why did you even buy the car just to mess it all up, like the white one, and the v8 kits I've seen, (altho I am not against just putting a v8 in the car, just making it look like a viper) at least the purple one, for all it's over playedness, is still recognizable as an RX-7.

the lights look like early 924 lights. I like the dark gray one above any better pic of that one?

That gray one is pretty nice. Is that the same as the purple Porsche Rx-7? And, as for the white 944 kit, those are Porsche lights, just different year.
