New Aero and wheels! Small photo shoot

Hey guys, alot of you may remember my car from some of the threads, looking like this..




But after some month long training on active orders, got a bit of money to change it up. So, this is what I came up with.











It's a BN sports style kit, on Weds Kranze Cerebrus II's 18x10 (f) and 18x11(r). I know most liked the slammed/stock body on 17s, and I did too, but I wanted something new. So, lemme know what you think! Hopefully doing an actual shoot when its running(typical RX7), with rolling shots. Hope you enjoy!

It definitely grew on me man! It looks awesome. Just get that s5 trim and some turn signals and it'll be perfect!

Do you think you'll ever put a spoiler on it?

Well currently, its on the Megan's, maxxed out low in the front, with 2 collars removed, and "drooping" the rears which worked good for stock body. However, I will be replacing the collars which should raise it about half an inch, and gaining SOME practicality. But in all reality, how much practicality can be had with BN style aero? Lol

Pffft no wing brother, all day. Dont listen to this non sense. Spend ur money on moldings and get em painted, then you'll be ridin clean. And maybe get the kit to fit a lil tighter too.

Yea, im working on trying to figure out how to get the skirts to get closer, without having to drill into the fender and ziptie it. so if anyone has suggestions, im open to it!

http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewi...d=271229318589. 3m double sided tape MIGHT work. But you would have to make sure to use adhesion promoter and if the fiberglass is really sturdy and doesn't wanna sit flush with the body it won't be strong enough.

You could just pop a couple rivets through the skirt into the fender and brush touch them the same color as the color. That would be pretty stealthy and strong and easy to remove if you needed to pull the skirts. I riveted on my version select kit on my S14. It was the only way I could get it flush without doing anything permanent

Exactly, its a clean build so far. I like the purple lug-nuts.
