I shaved my fc. It does have a sbc and I'm sure I will get some hate but I have never seen a shaved rx7 and thought I would share.

There are a few out there, mine will be one of them before too long. When done nice and smooth I like the shaved look better than any trim I've seen on them.

I see you shaved it good,but there is still a big Zit on the hood!.Can you cut that with your Razor too?..(Messin with ya,to each their own.)

Shaved FCs look *&#ed up, and the V8 ruined the car.

Shaved fcs looks pretty dook, but hey if you like it it's good

thethingthatshouldnotbe 07-30-12 09:18 AM

Opinions are opinions but a fact is this has gotten me some pretty cool side work lol

RXSpeed16 07-30-12 10:10 AM

Not my style, but I admire the work that went into it. Do you have a plan for the front turn signals?

Wms10th 07-30-12 10:13 AM

That ain't no RX-7...

thethingthatshouldnotbe 07-30-12 10:39 AM

Turn signals are inside the flash to pass housing. I don't have them wired yet :)

thethingthatshouldnotbe 07-30-12 11:40 AM

When I finish my tails I will post pics of the exterior lights.

I actually have no problem with the shaved look. Essentially, eliminating the side molding look is generally a current look for todays japanese imports. That's great if you want to bland out the distinctive look of an RX7 so it looks more like every Japanese import. Moving the turn signals the the FTP's is actually kind of clever. But until you paint it all the same color, kind of hard to truely appreciate.

What I have a BIG problem with is that ugly oxymoron thing sticking out of the hood, and what it stands for. But given my signature, that shouldn't surprise anyone.

thethingthatshouldnotbe 07-30-12 01:57 PM

The main reason the whole fiberglass thing started was due to the huge turn signals and marker lights. Didn't like them and it just went from there as far as the swap that's a long story

don't really like the two tone, but good job none the less.. at least some people around here like to look "different"
