Who appreciates a bone stock look? (pics)

I was just wondering if any of you like the bone stock look of the FC. I always see how everyone is trying to change the look of their FC with headlight mods, wheels, carbon fiber, etc.

I want to know what you think of this car. I found it surfing the net and downloaded the pics; saved them to my hardrive and then uploaded again. Big PITA!

Personally I think the RX-7 should stay stock on the outside. It looks awesome in every form, except maybe for the rims. That's just my 2 cents.

Yo,

I think that car looks really really nice. The more naked RX-7 rear ends I see, the more I want to get rid of my stock wing. Of course it would be a huge PITA, so it stays.

You really don't see that many clean stock FC's, so when you see one that is super clean it definitely looks "Cool" to me.

Here's some pics of my rig, the only thing I want to change is the ride-height.

The 7 is a great looking car- But I think it looks better with 17" rims and a 1" drop.
NEEDS A SPOILER
I hate the way they look without.

I really like a BONE stock, BARE BASE model, if it's IMMACULATE- I mean perfect, showroom condition. Don't ask me why.

Rims:Yes. Gauges and racing seats:Yes. Wings, trick headlights, white lights, no. The FC is a sexy car from the dealer. If it ain't broke don't fix it!!!

I am still debating if 16 inch will look too small on my car with eibach springs. I am trying to trade them for a set of AE springs with 27K miles

Yah, Stock look is good except, need a rear wing and the rear window needs to be tinted. Just wish the blue paint didn't fade so fast.

I agree with most here. Stock on the outside is WAY tight. On the inside, go ahead and put the Recaro's and gauges and stuff.

The only things I want to change about the way my car looks on the outside is the ride height and the wheels. Other than that, it's gonna look pretty much stock.

I like the stock look of the 89-91 FCs cuz of the front bumper and tail light conversions. But I also like the 10th anni look too. Most FCs already look great stock but with the right bodywork, FCs can also look great with bodymods.

I like the look stick but I love the way it looks with some 17's a better spoiler ground effects and drop it a 1" racing seats gauges killer stereo and some carbon fiber trim. Other than that it looks great. Since I am about broke stock will do for now.

lmao

i like the stock look, it seems that everytime i see my car i like the look even more. the only problem with it is the pop-ups, they ruin the lines of the car when they are up. i would prefer to have pop-ups that do a full 180 when on, and have a bubble type light on the other side.
