as well as speaker setups

If you want to set the Rx7 world on fire then make a 1 piece flip frontend similar to the Corvettes. You would develop it so the headlamps and bumper would be stationary or develop the bumper into the frontend. But leave the headlamp assembly's in place. Also could utilize hood shocks that when you release the hood cable the hood will open up by it's self. Do this and you will be a Rx7 guru worshiped by many.

Can you fiberglass my dog? That way I can keep him forever.


Just kidding. I'd love to have a good front bumper/spoiler for the track. Also some lightweight fiberglass front fenders.

I had thought about doing this actually. i didn't know if anyone would want it. I have access to all types of hood shocks so all I would need to do is make the brackets.

I'm going to try a few bumpers. Try some 1 pieces and some add ons.

Anything else?
