well.........i must say, i don't really like it all that much. It's not that it's the paint job or anything, just the style. I don't really think rx-7's should look like hotrods, you might want to take a look at some of the stangs on fordpower and consider one of them.

its neat but i would like it better if the flames were super dark, almost so you couldn't see em.

why are there so many haters? you shouldn't hate what you don't understand.the pics don't do it justice. I understand you can't make everyone happy. I know the paint job is a little much but so is the intercooler and the two n-1 cans in the back(the 60-1 isn't two much but what should have been stock)

It looks okay....but I certainly pick it. To me, it just doesnt fit the RX-7...

is that an old rolls royce in the background, silver cloud maybe?

it's taped off from the paint job. He still needs to put the the grill in the front bumper and put thr bumpers on and all the lights in. Then final sand and buff it all out.then it is mine.

Ok... that sounds significantly less horrible than it looks (It looks like the paint just didn't stick to the hood scoop..)

If nothing else, your car will definately get some attention
