Its best not to show the arrival pictures, its been a total revival inside and out and went beyond what I planned. I got the seats at a price that was too good to pass heh, they were used and I restored them as close to new as I could.

I wend wide-body for a reason more then just looks or wider stance, if JLK had come out with the RE kit sooner it would have that instead of the Origin-Lab kit. There was a point when I was considering scraping the FD due to how much work would have to be done to make it street worthy again.

It wont be black in a few months, Im not big on black cars for myself anymore.

Sounds like a big project. It looks like you have done a good job so far. The color contrast of those seats is just very striking.

Nice seats wanna trade lol j/k, I was looking to buying that stearing wheel for my car but now I dont know it does sit alot closer then the stock one. I might have to get one thats not concave.

Heh, seats are authentic Mazdaspeed with Mazdaspeed mounts. My buddy has a non concave because he is a lot taller then I am and it looks and works great, go for it!

He does all the awesome mats for everyone on here, you can pick colors and finish. I went with black carpet with red serged border and RX-7 logo on both mats and rear mat. It helps keep our cars updated and fresh feeling inside I think.

I prefer stock or a different style, but that's why my car looks different. If you like them then I'm happy for you!

PM me about the lights, I don't want to go off topic. It's not the wheels that are the problem, it's the sizes and fitment. There is nothing wrong with stock wheels until you get your suspension sorted out.
