There is an FB that I've never seen move here in town with that same center piece on it.

I personally am not that big of a fan of it, but it would be nice to have it say Rx-7 bigger on the back so I don't have to hear "Is that a Porsche" again. Maybe even "Mazda Rx-7" and not just Rx-7.

I've thought about installing mine too since no one seems to know what the car is with the widebody. It's a toss up though, I like the stealth look with the blacked out tail lights, all red across the back might look out of place. May have to install it for the bbq and get some feedback.

Is that the garnish Doc had for sale? He was offering it about 1/2 the price I would even consider selling mine for. From what I understand there were 2 or 3 different garnishes. The other one did say Mazda RX7 and I have seen that version lighted. There is also an SA version.

Even with all the badges on the car, people still don't know what it is
