I like the wing more than the molding being gone. Looks good overall though. Good job. What kit is that?

Basicly I (with help and instruction from my dad) removed all the molding filled it in with a thin strip of automotive grade rubber from home depot. then i fiberglassed over all of it and attached the kit [url]www.erebunicorp.com (find rx7 obviously) Then did alot of playing with bondo over pretty much the whole car, sanding it down, filling in the low spots and repeating for months. Then went over the whole car with spot putty a good 10 times lol. then wet sanded the whole car and primered it. Then took it to get painted. If a more in depth description is wanted, PM me

So you can see a little of the back. Not the best pic, but you get the idea

I think Fc's really need the FTP's to look like an FC.

The bottom of the front lip and the orange indicators. Not to mention Red is just the average color of the 240 fastback.

definately looks like a 240. i'm practically looking at the exact same car but purple in the Winthrop parking lot. but it's original, and you did it yourself, so no one can really give you crap about it.

its a 240. stop lying to us. I like the paint matched side moldings better than no side moldings.
