I like the sideskirts and the the way the fender flares out in the rear. I wanna see what it would look like if it still had the stock rear tail lenses because those tailights look ugly to me

Looks clean as hell!!! Hate the wing and the tail lights. The rear valance could be a little better. Overall it is nice

I like CP racings WAY better!!!

OK, the guy put alot of work into this. but losing the bodyline in the rear seems to be a mistake. Those tail lights gotta go. He needs to paint it purple and did anyone look inside the rear wheel yet? Looks kinda wrong in there. Ill give it an 8...

Too bad that guy is more knowledgeable about rotaries than damn near anyone on this forum....

I think that car is totally awesome, if not simply becaues of the fact he did ALL THE WORK HIMSELF in HIS GARAGE, PLUS, made a tutorial for everything he did.

copied from his page:

"These pages holds yrs of hard work and tears within them.
And my goal now is to try and have it done for the NOPI National in Atlanta GA next yr.
I will be up againt the 92-94 3rd Gen RX-7, as i dont see many 2nd gens.
I hope that all this work will pay off in uniqueness, quality of work and desigen, as this isnt your avarge 1985 RX-7
We must respect the 1st gen in that it is the Grand fater of the last generation 7's, and the saga continues with the soon release of the RX-8
Im sure that this car will stop people in their tracks @ shows, and give them something to talk about when they return home.
I just wanted to share the many hrs of fun and tears with you, and hope you will enjoy them.
I will be posting more as soon as they become availible, and hope to see you back for more updates.
Peace Rotech7 The 1st Gen Man !"

Notice he doesnt come on here and talk **** about your elite cars

Once again... Opinions were asked for. Don't bash someone because you don't like their opinion. My opinion is that it sucks my butt. You like it. Great! That's exactly why so many different cars are made- because we all have different tastes.

i agree with chris.. i dont like it, if you do.. good for you, im not gonna talk **** about the car or anyone who likes it......but he could have molded some better lights than a teggy.....still, i give props to, and would not at all mind meeting the guy who made that car

and when i said altezza lights... that dosent apply to geoffs style lights.. i love the all clear look.... just not those schnazzy(sp) chrome and red jewel looking taillights....

I think its pretty damn cool minus the altezza lights (they just look funny with the color of the car IMO). I personally would have put a smaller spoiler on there that sits lower, but it looks really sweet as is. Thumbs up to him.

They look like Integra lights to me. Aftermarket of course. The bodywork is done really nicely. The lines seem to flow together well. It doesn't mean that I like it but I'll give him credit for all the time and effort he put in to it.

That's what I was going to say...
I'm about 95% sure they're Integra lights...

I don't really like it, as a matter of personal taste...
But it is VERY original, and extremly well done.

Very smooth and awsome craftsman ship. Props to the talent and skill required. But i think the rear looks like CRAP.
