You actually admit to "winning" that? Is there a decimal misplaced, it looks like you bid 142.50? LOL

I've never seen one of those before...but I always though it would be cool to have rx-7 in some type of colored plastic to replace that piece between the tail lights...but I guess it wouldn't be very unique if I made one seeing as the came out like 20 years ago...lol

I have a brand new one ( not a scratch ) WITHOUT the Rx-7 logo. Same size and manufacturer. I got it in 1995 from Mariah Motorsports when they still had both available.

Since it's smooth, would not be any problem to put anything you want on it ( including the logo ), but I think the car has enough insignia on it without adding any more. Like the 4x4 trucks with "4x4" across the tailgate or God forbid the windshield top 6"... Oh, thanks... I was wondering if you are a 4x4.

Anybody interested ?

Dan ? We can make it part of a downpayment on the Camden Supercharger !?

It looks like you could have had it for $31 if you'd have just bid once at the end of the auction instead of pushing it up against just one other bidder.

I think he was joking about bidding $142.50 on ebay for a $5 part. But maybe not...

No, he's bidding a little bit at a time until he gets over Dan's bid.

Dan-o,

Why so many handles? Are you constantly getting banned? Not trying to be an ***, just curious.

The thing that confused me about it was I have seen one of those on an SA. That one doesnt look as wide so is it for an FB? If so, then dammit that really pisses me off. Especially since I didnt have enough cash (stupid x-mas).
