I dunno bout the mudflap, but the worst rust on my car was on the front fender right behind the wheel. Straight through on both sides. Pisses me off. And every seven ive seen has had the rusted window sills.

Hey Zeta-Gouki,
How's it goin man.
Yeah!, its good to be here.

I used to lurk about three years ago, when I had my 87 base coupe.
here's an old pic with a terrible photochop of the license plate.
It was rusting & about to crap out, but man, I shoulda kept that 7.
It was in my family since new.
I still remember the day my dad bought it,
later on, I learned how to drive in it.
then ran an insane amount of lunch delivery's in it.
ahh, memories.

I'm not really sure. I bought it from PhoenixFc3s in Plano,TX, who bought it from Marvelspeed, who claimed it from some guy that couldn't afford to pay for all the work that was put into it.(that's all heresay from phoenixfc3s) So, from the sound of it I think it was a custom job done by Marvelspeed.

It's very nice. I just have no a/c vents on the sides, only the middle two.

Here's old pics of my 11 sec turbo 6port. It now has black doors, and a black s5 bumper with carbon fiber sideskirts.

Remove the bumper and grind that down and at LEAST primer it! Do it now before it gets any worse!

Couple of my little seven. Coming back on the streets soon =) I want to do a lot with it... throw on some power steering for comfort, then perhaps replace those silly rice-looking exhausts, rip out the grey APC seats (which I don't really think goes with the blue interior..), and then take off that purple tint on the hatch (another wtf on that one). Then get some rims.. maybe 5Zigen 15 or 16 inch "copse", yeah. I want my seven to look nice like you fellas XD
