Sweet car! What color is that? Is that the actual Mazda bumper shaved or is it the aftermarket urethane tagless bumper. Fitment looks superb.

-Andy

Made the hood myself from the original stock unit, the fitment is on par with original equipment, hehe. See build process here: https://www.rx7club.com/nw-rx-7-forum-33/fd-restoration-%24%24%24%24-damnit-525920/page14/

Mazdaspeed6 - Tungsten Grey Metallic

Urethane tagless bumper with a lot of massaging done to it, plus using the original bumper interior support framework.

C&R Racing product: http://www.crracing.com/

The stuff is not cheap, it's also covers half the tunnel, LIM and passenger side engine bay.

Rotary Extreme flush light kit with HID low beam, but I had to modify the existing frame to get proper headlight assembly support and stiffness. The kit wasn't that great. I only used the lights and light cover, everything else I made.

WOW afgmoto1978 WELL DONE!! I admire all of your hard work.

I just finished my white LED backlit gauge faces, but i think I might tear open the cluster again to something similar. I have my stock twins manifold out right now for nonseq and EGT probes too, what kind of probes did you use?

Montego Blue is the dark green/blueish color that came on USDM FDs. The blue that came on 99spec FDs was Innocent Blue Mica(IBM).

DIY special, hand formed it myself. The bumper id 99FD with no plates.

No emblems, keeps it clean, people don't know what it is even if the emblems were there anyways.
