Find a Euro license plate bracket (good luck, haha), find some s5 vert taillights and then modernize them. https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-generation-specific-1986-1992-17/s5-taillights-%2Amodernized%2A-pics-392954/

I suppose I'll have to tint my driver's side reverse light red to REALLY get the euro-taillight thing going...

Thanks brotha'. Yeah, I learned how to paint about two years ago. Pretty satisfying work, although it can get pretty labor-intensive.

Damn bro, that car is spot on perfect! I must say tho, if you had some JDM window visors... OH MAN! haha. Seriously looking good tho man. It's nice to see some clean cars like that.

BTW, what bulbs are you running in your ftp's? I have tried several and haven't gotten them to shine that bright.

I *might* have snapped a few right when I picked it up... The problem is that I never intended to keep this car, so the idea of recording/documenting a 'before and after' for my personal enjoyment never really made sense. Of course NOW I wish I had some before pictures.

If you don't mind me asking, where did you find the Infini wheels and how much did they cost?

Luckily I've never purchased a body kit... Either way, I've had like 5 well-build turbo 7's, but never a GTUs.

PS, to the dude who asked about the Infini wheels--I got them shipped from Japan via 87GTR (member). Let's just say I got a pretty good deal. Expect to pay around $600-800 plus shipping? They're really rare though, so it's hard to put a price on them.
