Google "John Deere Blitz Black"
for a car the size of a FC it will cost less than 50 bucks for primer, hardner, and paint, and thinner.

no clear coat is used, you can wet sand it with really high grit papper to add a sheem to it, and comes in rattle can, so you can do minor touch-ups to the bumpers, doors, ect. a little wet sanding and your good to go:P no waxing, easy to work with. and its really durable, its tractor paint:P bliz black has been the standard "Rat Rod Black" for some time now:P and summit has some pro car seats for about 160 a pice + brackets:P good luck

John Deere Blitz Black is what I've got to spray my FC... I was just at the Goodguys Hot Rod Show and loved how "black" it really was and not a grayish black either

Looks good except for paint!

Remember that is your car and to build what you like, not what fellow rx7 owners want. I like the way its headed so far though.

Not a bad start. It will look good painted, lowered, with better wheels.

Gonna need coilovers imo, lowering springs will not lower enough to make a bodykit look good. Then better wheels, 17x9 should be the minimum for a car fitted with the GP kit.

And your sleepy eyes is set too high imo. looks goofy at that height, just a lil lower

i agree with coilovers and all that. mbbe a nice roll cage if u have the cash, upgraded brake. otherwise.. whatever u think would look good.

and are your fenders molded to the front bumper?? just curious

I would start with doing the TII swap and reliability mods + suspension. Making it look decent is the last thing you should do.

i agree with all the coments but the reason i put the kit was because i got the kit for free and i live on a smal apartment and it was kind hard to walk around with all those parts in the house so i had to put then in !!!!!!and about the mot to the fender that was not my option i took to a local bodyshop and the dude did with out consulting me , i was veary upset because the fact is that i know that it will crack where the two pieces meet. and on the wheel im looking to do a 5 lug conversion then i will go with 17x9 i wanna put some fenders 20mm on it but since im planning to do a tii swap on "TAX" time i will put the fendersafter the swap is complete and will fix the bumper molding to the fender because i dont like that!!!!BUT THANKS TO EVERY ONE!!! KEEP COMENTS COMING !!!
