Love the colour! Just one question. I noticed you painted over the rubber trim on the side. Wouldn't it have been better to remove it? I imagine that will flake over time.

Hahaha thanks. That made me feel pretty good to hear that . It's sad just because so many people don't even know of the 1st gen rx-7's. I go to these shows and the most people that recognize what it is, is generally older people, mostly Asian as well. Theres always the occasional "what car is that?? mazda?? unheard of."

they weren't supposed to paint over it.. as you can see the rubber trim elsewhere wasn't painted. I'm debating what i'm gonna do about it so we'll see. It looks fine for now though.
