purple rx7's

Anybody have a picture of a purple first gen? or anyone good with a photo program that could make a purple one? I'm thinking about plum crazy metallic like they used on the old chargers and cudas.

If anyone posts a pic of THE purple Rx-7, I'm going to kill them.


Dude, do a search. Type in "purple Rx-7" you'll find plenty.

Ah that's more of a "grape" kind of colour, or "plum" (hence the name I guess!)

Not bad at all. It's all in the application though, if you can get the panels straight enough (and the darker the colour, the straighter the panels need to be) then I reckon you'll be set mate.

There's a few in the photo gallery. You'll find that by clicking the sticky-ed thread called "first generation specific photo gallery". It's the forth one down from the top of the 1st generation forum.

Man I was full of fear and loathing when I clicked on the link I was afraid it was "The Purple RX7"

But thanks to MetalicRock that has been taken care of
