I think it looks good, BUT will look twice as good with some better wheels! . I think it would also benefit with some round tail lights. The spoiler is a little big for my taste but may look better when you get new wheels.

I like it a lot, the only thing that seems to stand out to me is how square the corners on the bumper are, they look like 90 degree angles almost, and it looks kind of strange with no rear skirts. I like the color

Deffinetly S5 Round tails, i donno bout that slit in the bumper, im guessing its for cold air intake of the sorts, the rear valance seems boxy to me, a lil to boxy for my tastes but nice regardless

The front is kick ***, looks awesome

You really need a rear bumper cover to complete it, it looks a little bare back there. Round tails would be sweet, and (duh) wheels.

the intake in the bumper is for the vents in the hood. Just a cooling effect for the engine.

Im really glad someone finally posted good pics of this kit.
But I really dont like it; it's not for me. It looks good but I personally dont like the square intakes on the corners if they where not as huge and square it would be better. Also Im kind of disappointed in the hood where it looks like the main vent is bolted on.

Rear wing is nice but again to big for me.

Nice work on bringing it back

If that hood had a smooth transition to the reverse scoop instead of having the rivets showing....

What are the temp differences with those hood vents?

I'd get out the sander and round the corners on that bumper.

All in all, it looks 1000% better than it did before, but you need some motor mods to keep up with the body mods. *cough*TII swap*cough*

I kinda like the bolts/rivit look. Didn't think I would at first, but I liked it when it was done. Don't know the temp diff cuz I don't have a temp guage(cept the stock) or a heat radar. lol I know I need mods bad...don't want to embarrass myself or rx7s at the track again So you have a TII I can have?

I was wondering if the overall temp of the engine ran cooler, seems like it would

YES, I do have a TII, and NO you can't have it!!!!!!!!!

Yeah that center vent is perfectly positioned infront of the fan...So yeah I'm pretty sure it stays much cooler.

Come on you don't need it!
