^ keep the fenders man looks good.. only thing that bothers me is that it has a little too much rake for my taste.. lower the rear a little and your golden

Ive been trying to find a FD with the Feed II front bumper but with stock pulled fenders and cant find it. But i think your car will look really sexy either way

Sepiroth you car is looking hot. One of the nicest red RX7s I've seen. My only criticism is the front is too low which looks like you just hit the brakes or did a 2JZ conversion

hehe that white fender is available a many places and pretty cheap actually. Origin's 25mm fenders that I photoshopped. I guess any reputable body shop that works on FRP would be able to fill the top vent which I think is super ugly. I was thinking of posting this in shine auto's section, maybe we could get this in production...maybe!
