Interesting, but I don't think I would have followed the character lines from the hood all the way down to the lip like that...I'd like to see that with a nice shiny paint job...

the rear end shouldnt come to a point like that, do you have another picture? im sure it looks like *** from back there.

and i think the front end sticks out too far, or something needs to be done, its looks f'n massive in the front.

just my worthless 2 cents

How about Lamborghini style door hinges? I saw kits for these on ebay. Anyone ever attempted this?

How do they do the wide body modifications? Are they fiberglass fenders that are glued/bolted on, or are they complete metal replacement kits?

Depends what u make it out of............... I havn't heard of a full metal kit, that would add too much weight. All i've seen is f-glass which would make sence as it is ALOT lighter and easier to mould i guess. U can glue or bolt them on plus their are probably a few ather ways. Imo Bolts sticking out all over the place is prety ugly

. I'm a large fan of the smooth sharp look.

Decah also makes a kit that uses YOUR doors....they claim that a Honda kit they make will work with the 1stgen RX-7 platform with only some minor grinding. All of their other kits are bolt-ons w/no modifications..............so they claim.....the kit runs $1950.....ouch...
