I really like blue on FB's very rare to see nice. I always would consider blue or some shade of blue for some paint job for a FB. Also, good work going with painting over the plastic molding on the bumpers to match. They look best that way.

I repainted a GSL high gloss black including the bumpers, I love how that looks that way.

I like the color too. I love how clean the lines are on these cars stock. You can't improve on it!

Road impacts must be pretty harsh with those super thin sidewalls. I'd worry about bending those rims, which must have been pretty expensive.

Look how big a friggin Mazda3 is compared to an Rx-7! Cars are getting too damn tall!

Nice! I like the pop-up headlight 'surrounds' being painted to match the exterior. I've never seen that done before. Your seven is very impressive! It motivates me to get to work on mine.

just wondering... How did you remove the RX-7 Badges, is there a way to do it without breaking them? I love the way your car looks with all the badges shaved

I live that color too.

I've been contemplating painting my car "Subaru STI Blue", ever since
a saw a RB26 powered 240SX in my friends' shop with it.

It really brings the color out too.

Seeing yours is definately pushing me in that direction even more now.

Did you paint it with the engine out?
