The alternator is mounted using (I think) a Pineapple Racing alt relocation bracket.

*shudder* that is one ugly FC.

i think it looks good. It just needs different wheels w/fitment and lower it 4 inches. Maybe im just a bit open or a lil bit on the ricey side. I wish I had a gt wing that stood tall.

personally if i had 1k id buy it...think about it

clean body, clean s5 tails, ok looking body kit and its garaged kept which means no paint fade(most likely)

cons: wheels, neons, wing and....whatever stickers/decals dont belong...

remove the cons and you'd have a pretty clean s5 for 1k...

compared to cali...1k for a clean body s5 is a steal!!!

after removing the cons sale them and use the money to get rims and suspension. and you'll be set

"reduced $1000" doesn't mean the price is $1000. it means he came down $1000 on the price.

Exactly. Sell those god aweful wheels, remove all the decals, replace the wing with something....well more stylish or just get rid of it and buy my sport wing.......

Under car neons are ok, plate frame neon is not.

It's not THAT bad. It could have been alot worse.

Definately reminiscent of a japanese teenager's drift car. Neons, ugly rims, huge wing............

I disagree.

If I bought it, it would lose everything but the kit. Then get a turbo swap and some sick fitment and it would actually be pretty sick. But until then its rice.

I like the orange car hypertek posted. I wouldn't call it rice but the wheels and wing definitely need to be changed. on the motor though.

I find it hilarious that someone posts a car with 18" chrome wheels that weigh 30+ lbs each. A giant aluminum spoiler and neon glow, then asks if its rice. Wasn't that completely obvious? If not, whats your definition of rice, cause that hits it right on the nose! I wouldn't pay more than $700 for it, just cause the time it'd take to convert it back to an Rx7, instead of a rolling shiny vomit bag!
