you know it to their own. hate to tell you, but the rx-7 came from japan. soooo it had a home market version known as the savannah. its my choice to make it look like the efini savannah. i cant afford mega body kits and the like to make my car my own so this is how i choose to do so. you keep your n/a car as what you like and ill keep my turbo II as what suits me .

Aw you shouldn't overcompensate man. Just be yourself.

In any case the Savanah looks just like any other FC but with different wheels and paint. I beleive you would need to buy a RHD front clip to do a real conversion. Thats usually 2k dollars.

One last tid bit here....

I have GXL seats in my Sport. I have Vert wheels on my sport. I have a bunch of other stuff that makes my Sport not like any of the others. You don't need any conversions to make it unique. Only personal touches make them unique. JDM=USDM most of the time. Its the same BS.

JDM S4:




JDM S4 GT-X (with Mazda GT finish line kit):




And note, if you are doing a true JDM, that all but the convertibles and Infini IV had rear seats.

point of irony: if something is original/unique (your "own"), it probably doesn't already have a name or title (such as 'jdm'). honestly, i like some jdm characteristics, but being on a budget, that should be one of the last things you look at.

What I did was swap S5 GTU seats and carpet and most of the interior parts to my S4 GXL. If u want to do a real swap to J-Spec its goin to be hard to find most of the parts.

yep, black/green paint:



Though I personally think they should have dropped the rear wiper as well...

Look at the pics in my sig. It's the same colour.

The wheels are the same BBS wheels as the convertible, but 16" instead of 15".

they're 16x7, with an infini logo on the cap.

I just sold my spare set, they were really really light. 18lbs shipping weight including the box.

OMG those seats in the Infini are awesome!

Also if you want to go real Infini style then you need to find a FC without a sunroof! I've only seen one and it was a weird S5 GTU which almost looked like a GTUs.
