That is a first gen, right? If so, it's the best yet. The only thing I don't like is the nose, looks like my Mazda Protege5. Put a retro nose on that thing and yes, that would be it, what Mazda needs to make us, with a Renesis engine, NEXT YEAR.

For the retro nose, keep the gills and bulges, they are fantastic. But slope it down in the front and do something interesting with that classic front end. Afterall, it was the compact rotary engine that made the look possible.

must say I REALLY really enjoy looking at this car, every update has been something thats hard to wait for....

...but i must admit, im going to be scared to see the price tag on the conversion kit (specially considering you'll have to buy the FD tails and headlights)

but again...love it. Flawless.

PS'ing it would be difficult due to there is so many variances in the paint right now (since its wet, ect) and would probably not come out looking to good...

...I say just wait and im sure soon enough BLWNandTWISTED will have paint on it...

I seriously think someone needs to buy your molds..(for some big $$$ of course) and start selling this bodykit.
Its just too amazing for there to be only one..haha, the love needs to be shared.


I really just cant stop thinking about it, BEST FB EVER!




You really need to sell that to mariah, or someone who makes quality bodykits...
I guarentee that would be a hot seller.

If they ever bring back the 4th generation Rx-7, this is what it should be. End of story.

A design like this would also compete really well with Toyota's new rumor of bringing back the AE86 Corolla. I'm kind of hoping that Toyota's idea will re-ignite the 80's cheap RWD Japanese war. That would be something to behold....

Man, must be nice to have the skills to work a body like that. If there is one thing about my car that I would want to have the tools/resources for, it would be body work. No matter how crappy the engine bay looks/is, the body always makes you forget the car is a pos half the time.
