NOVA Rx-7... Complete Body Restoration...
Hey everyone...
I've been working on this car for a while... but I just picked it up late this afternoon after a complete body restoration and paint job by Mr. Spoiler in Northern Virginia. I was blown away when I pulled into the lot and saw it waiting for me. Well worth every penny!
I'm still planning on putting Feed sides on her, but other than that shes pretty much a dream car... Not sure I'll ever sell or trade this beauty.
What do you think!?

Bluhring your car looks awesome! That paint job is amazing, love the color. Not sure about those foglights, but still a great ride and will be even better with those FEED sideskirts! Nice Work!

Thanks for the comments guys! Below are resized pictures...
A couple of responses to questions, etc:
RX7LINK: My wheels are F18x8.5 +35 and R18X10 +40. I am not 100% positive on the offsets but the wheel dimensions are correct. The tires are toyo proxes F225/40/18 and Rears are 275/35/18.
Mister Destiny: I haven't ever heard of PIAA windshield wipers... Exactly which ones are you talking about?
livin4hockey: The fog lights are Hella Optilux (bought a few years ago on ebay for about $50 I think). I didn't have the time to get new ones so I just had Mr. Spoiler install them on the car. I wanted them in the normal position too, but I think they may have been a little too large.

nice work man, I just got my car back a couple days ago,
def get some skirts, and I would say no to any fog lights, with your hood, sleek lights, 99 lights and fogs their is alot going on. Here's 1 pic that doesn't do it justice because of my camera
oh man I just noticed you painted part of the hood ... can you post a pic of just your hood, i was thinks about the same thing. Won't now because I think the tgm goes well with it.

snaponbrian500hp: The only problem is that I actually need my fog lights. The cwest lights don't put out a ton of light and the fogs actually help me out quite a bit. But I may go with something a little less noticible and in the correct position...
Definitely like the color you chose - almost the same as me.
Also, here a some close-ups of the hood. It is 3 toned... grey, black, and carbon fiber. The way they painted the hood makes it look longer. And I know many of us get "Is that a viper?" questions a lot, but with this hood I get the question almost every time I'm out. Guess they don't know what an FD is... dummies. ;-)

Here are some pics of my base 93. Car has just over 29,000 miles on it and runs like a dream. Pictures are nothing special since this is pretty much a stock looking 7. 
This is pretty muchthe same sot as above with just a slight difference in angle.

[QUOTE]Why have you got a triangle on your bonnet
It is a CAMS requirement for racing in Australia, it marks the position of the battery..
You should know, living so close to Winton! :-) Nice track that one..... have raced on it many times.
Shep is great, I used to live in Wangaratta for 7 years.....

wjp005, car looks good, engine bay looks like it's seen lots of armor all 
.
May I suggest some 1999 tail lights and some lowering springs
?
Rexhvn, perform a search for 'meaning of efini' to learn about those triangle badges

Cheers for that Goodfella. Yeah had to spruce her up a bit for the photo!
I have some GAB coilovers that will be installed soon, then I can set the ride height nice and low!
I thought Rexhvn was asking about the blue triangle on my bonnet that marks the battery location for competition racing in Australia.....
