Yeah looks real good Otaku. Man it sure changes the look of the car without the rubber on the doors and fenders eh?

At first I thought, what year of RX had those indentations in the doors and fenders? Then I realized that they all do, just above the rubber.

Is that the factory silver color?

P.S. Is that a vette in the background. Very nice.

The 7 is still my favorite. Just something fun about it, maybe also that I have rebuilt it by hand.

Yea that looks good man, they did a nice job matching the S3 chateau silver on that Limited of yours. Are you still planning on redoing the wheels?

very nice, you plannin on puttin the black molding back on?

only thing i see wrong with it is that ugly *** antenna, i hate those rubber things, i see em on sevens all the time it makes me wanna puke, you need to locate a stock replacement for that thing...lol

looks really good though, i wish i could afford a paint job like that

btw, i wanna see some pics of your custom interior!

Le wheels are 14", and they only came on the 5000 83 LE's mazda made, too bad there aren't more of them around, they look great on our cars.

Thanks guys, ya the GT-4 is one of 3 in the states that I have heard about. On topic now, the interior was redone black w/ cloth headliner and visors. I also had the seats re coverd because the black ones were crap. There is no stereo and will probably never be a stereo. I will also note that there pics are pre-paint job.
