Sweet ride.

Maybe just get the black trim painted to match, otherwise it looks prtty good.

Any engine pics?

I think it looks pretty good. The paint looks better than the paint on my car. I was wondering though, is that an aftermarket/custom lip?

As My88Se said, the mismatched trim could be improved but that's about it. Is the hood a every so sligthly different color from the rest of the car? (probably just the photo) Other than the trim it looks great. Even then it looks fine as is.

I think that is a pretty pimp ride. Some straight rims would be nice but still, I would love to have your car. FCs are pretty damn tight once you get used to them. Sorry Im just a recently converted FC fan. I used to like the FB then I drove an FD and went crazy and then I realized how the FC is in my price range. Wow.

Go color your front molding black with a permanent black felt marker! Other than that it's not bad at all.

Is that the front bumper that was offered by Mazda as an aftermarket accessory?

that bumber came on the car when i bought it, the guy said he put it on back in the 80s when he got the car. he said it was one of the only that were for the rx7 back then. ive seen a kit tho that was pretty close to looking like it.

rx7raca : The camera makes it look nice, if you look at the door you can see the clear coat is chipping away and it looks like white crust.

looks like the bumper needs a better paint match done. if you gave the whole car a nice coat of black i'd give it an A+
