While I think the 928 headlights are ugly, and the 928 should have used 944 style pop ups (like the fc!)... The 928 still has pop ups. Those headlights rotate up when on and light output would be fine. They look even more retarded when they are up/on though.

Ah, I see. They are still hideous haha

It's been done.

No, I just know bodywork. I know body work enough to know that it isn't as easy as molding it in. If you want it to look right, you will have to figure a way to incorporate the body line and bumper trim into the Porsche counterparts. Make a way to support the front bumper. Possibly cut and refit the front bumper if the dimensions aren't the same as the FC.

It isn't something you can just do because fiberglass is easy.

That is only the headlights. OP was talking about an entire front end modification.

And so does Chance, not saying I fully agree with what he is saying, but he knows his body work... probably better than you... just sayin

Lol, they are pop ups.

Actually it is not easy and he's right, it can be easily done, but it would look like ****. Even fitting afermarket parts well put together is not easy, as a mater of fact look how many aftermarket bumpers, hoods or fenders are not lined properly on modified cars.

So doing something out of the box is nice and all, but it takes a certain sense of engineering to fit everything like if it came from the factory, especially when you mix models aesthetics. I've been working in modifying car aesthetic a few years ago, and doing it the right way is always tougher than one can think.

After a really small reading of your posts in different threads, I see that you like to criticize, give your rash opinion, scream that now one know anything except you, and that your the only one having good tastes; but I haven't read any proofs of your talent or skills at doing something so well put together and amazingly nicely done that everyone bows in front of it.

I don't say that I am better at showing off, but at least I don't brag about it all the time.

It's cool you have an opinion, but founded on what? Even tho you may be good, if your comments are not constructive to the thread subject, why telling it to anybody.

You don't need more that 10 post to have access to the whole forum!

Sorry sometimes I am also unpleasant. But I know modifying a car aesthetic is not that easy as you try to tell the world.

skip to 2:29 to see the rx7 review, they seem to have the least gripes about it between the three cars tested and it seemed the most balanced.

0-60 braking in 100ft is better then a lot of new sports cars and this was 22yrs ago... just saying

You are on a RX-7 enthusiast forum, if you never noticed. Are you coming here for the only purpose of being a renown hater? If so you got a lot of time to lose


You are right on this. Congratulation.

Nice way of bragging about what you can do, it's useless and no one cares. It's just annoying to read.


Not only you try to say that you're the best, but now your trying to say your a successful soothsayer... How do you know so well the people on this board, how do you know so well they know nothing?

As of now you are an amazing example of that kind of annoying member here.

I don't have to show off for my comments to be constructive, I don't have to be unpleasant to give my opinion, and I don't brag about how amazing I am all the time thus I don't see the point of showing my work in this exact post. Especially because the subject is about a Porsche front end on an RX-7 and I have nothing to show about it.

On the other hand, I am an airbrush artist, I've been working on a bunch of nice projects, never done a front end conversion, but I've been working with some really potent builders and I saw that their work wasn't that easy to put together.
I would be glad to show you my artworks on another thread, or by PM, if you ask nicely, I am sometimes a bit unpleasant, but usually really polite.

Can we now continue nicely about Porsche front ends?

Fc's just dont look right without the the stock lights.

Tire technology and brake pad compounds which has a lot to do with braking has come a long way as well. Put new tires and pads on that RX7 and the results would be far better.

I owned a 928 GTS years ago. Interstate roller and over engineered. (Not a bad thing).

jerd_hambone

You know nothing about me hahaha. August will make 9 years I've done body work. And April will make 5 years since I started custom body work. From fabricating pieces from scrap sheet metal I've had laying around, to full custom fiberglass interior.

Maybe he's done more than, maybe not, but what he said was incorrect. No matter how easy fiberglass is, you can't just fiberglass a front bumper onto the car. It doesn't work like that.

I can imagine a car that walks around like a duck, but until I have all the pieces together for measurement and modification, I'm not getting anything done.

jerd knows. ^

I tried to tell him (Lovely Idol)...

But apparently...

OldSchool-Boost

I thought the original intent was to graft a 911 type nose, those pics of the FC's with the 928 sytle lights are far less involved.
