That is one sexy car.
I just bought that same wing for my TII a few weeks back. Your pictures helped me see how much better it really is on the rx7
Wanna trade cars lol
I hope my 7 turns out looking that good when its finally finished....like 3 years from now.

Thanks ya'll! 
i got the wheels the same place where hurleysurf got his
the wheels were produced by a japanese co. that does most of it's business in europe. the brand is called ZAUBER. they are 17x8 +29 front and 17x9 rear +36... after the coilover install, i realize that i can have a more AGGRESSIVE offset. i think a 5-8mm spacer all around would do
the paint! LOL i can't believe i had it painted this color!! but i can live with it. i wanted to repaint it the stock mazda J5 (arctic silver), but the shop i was getting the work done at had the mazda J5 paint look like it was "gunmetal"
so i went ahead and tried to match the color myself and went with Strato blue pearl... ULTIMATELY i wanted a car that almost NO ONE would copy/have and i think the paint sealed the deal! 
and as far as trading goes, DON'T GIVE UP ON YOUR CAR!! i've had my FC for almost 4 years and it is my FIRST and ONLY car! i wanted to give up sooooo many times, but i did not want to fail myself and just kept on keeping on instead.... look where i ended up!!
here's how it looked in 2005...
thanks again everyone!!

Its a kaminari of some sort, not to many of them floating around.
They arent made anymore though sadly.
I think its the best spoiler for the FC body, not a fan of a 2 ft tall wing.....
I bought one a few weeks back that should be getting here soon....

LOL! "baby boy", "baby blue"? hey! the RE-Amemiya FD (touge monster) is baby blue! LOL, but the quality of it's paint is "bar-none"!
sigh... the color is really something. to be honest, i wasn't SURE SURE about the color. all i knew was that once the car was ONE color, it would look great. in my eyes, the car looks good, but i really feel that the shop i took it to coulda done WAYYYY BETTER job considering i spent over a grand...
as mentioned above, the paint would come out better if wet-sanded/color-sanded, and i mentioned that to the paint shop... BUT! they said it CANNOT be done because it has only one coat of paint
i honestly can't the next few years to have it painted again... and yet, have it DONE RIGHT!!
my cousin just got his DC2 back from a paint shop and TODAY we're going to snag some pics!!
thank you all!! you guys truly help keep the spirit alive!
