Question Sweet 7

This rx7 is really sweet..

i was wondering, about how much would it cost (or would you pay) to make a stock '84 look like this?

looks like a custom hood job.. that and a wing and paint job.. should not be that expensice.

taillight, you can do with a bit of spray paint. center piece kinda looks like a cut down version of the 79-80 finishing plate.. not sure were to find either of those anymore

It's just got paint, wheels and some wing, no big shiz. Personally I don't like it stripes or that kinda wing, but that's me.

It's probably an SE, cause those wheels aren't available for 4x110, at least in North America, unless they're custom drilled or he used spacers or something

Taillights are DIY, and shitty IMO. Centerpiece is an old school aftermarket piece, you could maybe find one on e-bay or whatever

Not my style, but is that hood vented?
I am curious, as I might want to do the same.

I used to have one of those aftermarket back "RX-7" pieces but sold it on eBay for like $75. Personally I think they look a little silly.

Looks like the first hood posted with the two vents is just a normal 7 hood with 2 z3 style fender slash cut molds molded into his/her current hood. (You can buy just the molds to make your own z3 fenders, and it looks like he/she just bought those molds and had them molded into his/her hood. Hope that made sense.

i wonder if it's as fast as it looks. with just a pacesetter exhaust, i wouldn't think so. but i kinda like it anyway, except for the interior.

The paint looks really nice if the stripes and wing were not on the car
