i just got to thinking. what would it look like on a like a 91 FC with a rounded off body. not like flared fenders or anything just rounding off the line that goes down the side of the car.

Dan H

Which line? The side moldings?

the edge that runs down the side of the car. the one that starts at the back of the car and runs all the way down to the front fender

why would u want to get rid of that?...i think it looks nice

Keep the lines the FC is supposed to have lines it makes the car.FDs are more rounded so if you want to make your FC look like an FD round everything off.Are you planning on doing this?

Mr. Eccentric

I've always wondered that myself. Or maybe create some blisters over the fenders that contour the wheel opening. It's the dead straight line along the whole car that wreaks of the 80's.

7's with shaved beltlines look awesome. Much better than with it there. Doesn't look liek a modification either, which is the best part, it just dramatically impoves the look of the car, makes it much rounder and modern.


Lots of body work involved though
Do a search- you MAY be able to find some pics... not sure though

or the 00's... have you seen all Honda's new product. The Accord, the TL, etc all the new style Honda products have that same line.

Mr. Eccentric

Yeah I hear you... Then again Honda's body styles are still stuck in the 80's. Their engines are a different story.

I have talked to several people, about the lines on my FC, and all of them have said that that makes the car, and personally I think it does. I really think without it the car would look to plain, the lines really make the FC what it is.

A guy here in town did it... i didnt like it

bejbis

i wish i had wider fenders, a seprate 3/4 glass, and no side moldings. maybe a different front bumper....

Yeah, not bad considering the car was designed in the early 80's. The whole car wreaks of the 80's because it's an 80's car.

I like the body crease, it gives the car a meaner, wider look.

Mr. Eccentric

Kai:

I never expected Mazda to see the future and design something that was ahead of it's time. I've got an S5 myself and love it so don't get me wrong, I was just saying that that line is the biggest 80's giveaway.

dubrc

i hear ya about lookin '80s...i've thought about rounding the lines off to give it a more flowing body, i think it would look great, especially if the moldings were gone too

jon88se

true, it looks 80's...but it's the nicest looking coupe of the era, in addition to the hatchback 240SX...anyone think of something else in the era that looks this nice? these are very very pretty cars

i have a 90's
