Question Best looking FC3S...

I am not into rice at all, but i think these would be a few good, worthwhile mods... (keep in mind i have an NA)

1. The 89-91 tailights (I have stock) BUT, replace the bulbs wil LED's (it kinda looks that way already), make the amber part RED and have all 6 BE LIT when lights/parking lts on. (kinda like a Ferrari 512 TR )
______
O O O II |______| II O O O

2. I think the 89-91 TII Rims are sweet ! (look like 16 spoke)
3. Paint calipers to match exterior car color
4. Possibly remove emblems ???
5. Small, but attractive "1.3L" on R/L fender
6. SHIIIINNYY exhaust tips (nothing bigger than 3")
7. BOTH FTP lenses either removed or modded

I think that would look awesome just short of a $1,000+ body kit

Anyone think of other little touches to make your FC look pimp?

Pimp is stupid bullshit. If you want your car to look "pimp" please buy a Honda and sell your sports car (the 7) to someone who appreciates it. Thanks.

Yeah I'm trying to enhance the sleeper/stock look as well.

Those all sound good. Removing the FTPs does look ok.

I personally want a 1.3 A (ie 1.3 rotor) emblem on the sides.

I also added the OEM mazda windguard to the moonroof (enhances the curves & lines).

The stamped headlight air intake is a bit ricey, but I'm planning to live with it until I can have dual OEM looking fresh air headlight intakes done.

Need to check back on the rx7forum hatch stickers.

If you don't have the OEM mazda Area bodykit / ground effects, those are a good addition. That's 2 side skirts (4 pieces) and front nose lip.

I'm also thinking of a rear bumper lip/skirt but haven't decided which one yet.

Still looking for the glass moonroof. Found out mazda offered it only 1 year, so hopefully I can find the part # and import it

The hatchcover is also a good OEM addition and can be imported from Mazda as well.

There's more I'm working on. Hope to have some pics soon.

Maybe pimp was the wrong word... I am trying to make it look a little more.... aggressive? modern? better... What do you guys think about buying some factory paint and making the rear emblems/decals the same color as the car (like a 10th anny)???

Honestly with the 89-91 RX-7s, there isn't much to do to get it ultra-pimp. They come that way from the factory! I'm doing some minor things to my car when I get some dough, such as a CAI on the passenger headlight cover, performance/lowering springs, and perhaps GTX or Enfini decals. I plan on keeping my car reasonably stock, perhaps powdercoating the stock wheels black.
