A Photoshop mockup of my RX...opinions

A fellow RX7Club member recently sent me pics of his car with the Corksport Type II front and sideskirts. Its a great looking car, and was a good base to start photoshopping since mine will be black with the CS kit too. Heres his car:



I basically took off the rear spoiler, lowered the car, added rims, added the rear bumper caps from the type II kit, and a few other little things so I could see what my car would look like. So what do you guys think?

Looks great. I'm REALLY starting to like the CS Type II kit more and more.

Yeah its one of the few kits that doesn't look like rice. Kinda like stock, but more aggressive. The only thing I'm worried about is the quality of the CS kit, but if I can't make it fit perfect, I'll bring it to a body shop.

I see you cleaned it too!


I think it looks better without the spoiler - cleaner, less "Pontiac" look.

I would also put the FTP's back in. I think it looks broken without them.

But hey - your car, your taste.

Yeah, w/o the FTPs... kinda looks like holes in the bumper.

On a black car... (only my personal taste) I'd take some 1500 grit or so sand paper and wet-sand the yellow tinting off (I think Markus has a 'write up' on it) and replace it with clear coat. It looks SOOOOO much better. I'll be doing it soon. Much "cleaner" look to it.

Agreed it is your car do what you want with it... what you like do it... if others don't that is their problem.

But just so you know if you get the stock spoiler there are aerodynamic advantages, whether it be lowerin the drag coefficient or increasing downforce (depending on which model)

Damn that CS kit is awsome.
Where did he get it and how much did it cost?
Photoshop looks good, but the rims arent the best.
Try putting on some Enkei's or perhaps some Volks or other racing rim. The color is perfect though

good eye, i didnt even cath that, on a black car, i suggest getting the spolier and putting the FTP's back in too, on a lighter car, i think it looks better without the FTP's.
but it is sweet like that
