alot of car companies used to do it, my dads mercedes from back in the day had it too, i believe the driver side is full sized so u dont get a blind spot, and the passenger sized is smaller cus it has the convex mirror so it can be smaller and show the same amount of area with smaller mirror...less mirror, less drag i guess...so they compromise on the size of the passenger side mirror...weight savings or less drag or somethin lol
Yes, you are correct !

I don't like the way he installs Porsche front ends on the FD or how he changes the rear hatch with the one that has the round light pods on the outside... AGAIN... this is MY PERSONAL opinion... I like some of his items NOT all....

This is the perfect example of why I like this form.. most of the time (not always) people express their opinions without disrespecting other people and without being ******** about it.

I agree, RE does make parts that totally ruin the FD.
No, I dont consider RE the "god" of rotary. But i give it to them, they have great marketing...

In any case, I really think their mirrors, along with the knight sports mirrors fit perfectly with the FD..

that is why I have a set of each and I am making a mold of each one.. in case i fucked them up; I have a back up... cause it was hell to find a decent set of each !!

PS: they do not weight 20 lbs ! LMFAO !!!

RE mirrors

I love those seats Gordon. The lighting would make me feel like I was stepping into a vampire's den lol.

Thanks! Yeah the rears are 18X10.5 +15 with 305/35 and the fronts are 18X10 +38 with 285/35. This tire and wheel combo is too tall though, with Nitto tires anyway.

And I already know about the gap between the hood and bumper, I've tried to a few things but nothing has worked yet.
get that car out in the sunlight man and take some more pics!

Eventually, once I wash the car...that's why I was parked in the dark LOL. Not really, but I do plan on taking more pics with the new wheels and tires too.

I've been meaning to post this for a while... While I'm a big fan of graffiti backgrounds, I feel like you've got to be really careful because they tend to overshadow the car. In most of the graffiti pictures I've seen posted recently, the RX7 is barely noticible because of the size and how busy the background is. The RX7 just fades into it. Not trying to cause a flap, just making a general observation. Other than that, it's great to see so many nice FDs.
