Shaved fc!

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.

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

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

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.

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
