What ever floats your boat... I guess? :confused:

Damn, that thing is fugly!! I'm not going to get the whole conversion so please don't think I have that bad of taste. I just want rear. I guess we'll see how it looks on my car. BTW, it's not $13K+ it's $1500

ummm. that's a used car dealership. The $13.5k would be for the whole car...

Man that's expensive as fu*k for a used RX-7, I've seen nicer than that for half as much.

No, it is not $1500!! 1780000 is closer to $13k. But I agree that kit is damn ugly.

No, the car is $13K, the rear conversion is only $1500

that rear makes the rx7 look very ugly, IMO. The FD looks great stock, only minor things will make it look better, not a whole different rear bumper. It doesnt even look like an rx7 anymore.:puke:

I don't know, it's a show car and is supposed to look outragous. I think it looks kinda cool, I would like to see it in a color other than pink. The non convertable doesn't look that bad either. If I was a multimillionaire and had a whole fleet of FDs I might do that to one of them... not my one and only FD though.

i hate to bring this up from the dead but do guys really think this rear is all that bad? i really like it and i think i might get it.

its something i am thinking about purchasing after i part my car out.

From the pictures posted above, I think it makes the FD look like it has an identity crisis. I think you could put your money to better use somewhere else on your car.

FYI, that pink RE-amemiya car has a porsche front end conversion and actually won best of show at the tokyo auto salon back in 99 or 2000 I can't remember. You can get the kit (either front or rear) from Tony at www.rxecret7.com I think he imported some of them a few months back. It could be someone on this forum???

ptrhahn 11-06-02 02:24 PM

Man thats bad news.

How can you not like the FD tailights?? There probably the best design element on the car, and one of the most elegant rear-end solutions on the road... certainly alot nicer than the C5 which looks like the body was being squeezed out like dough then chopped off w/ a meat cleaver.

wptrx7 11-06-02 03:27 PM

i never said i didn't like the fd rear taillights, but i like the different look. and your probably right money can be spent somewhere else besides my car, but what fun would that be.

I meant spend it somewhere else ON the car :) be it wheels, performance parts, or something else.

ArchangelX 11-06-02 03:30 PM

I don't like it...it makes it look like a Porsche wanna-be..

The RX-7 has it's own pedigree..and I think it should stick with it's own looks...

Anyways..the rear end looks like a toad. :puke:

Which is why it's so nice to see almost the same design on the back of the Ford Taurus... :)

For a reason... the car is stable at 200+ mph directly from the factory because of its aerodynamics, which includes the meat cleaver rear bumper. Can you say the same for the RX-7?

ArchangelX 11-06-02 04:27 PM

I do believe the RX-7 had the design before the Taurus.

Ugg..there's no comparison. :puke:

wptrx7 11-06-02 06:29 PM

nope, ford taurus. and money spent on the car in anyway is always extra money spent. (get it) its a hobby, and i like the fact that people try new and radical stuff. look through the forum, you'll see sr20 motors and v8s going in. i want to keep the factory motor but just go crazy with the body work (which i think cost less, in a way.). its to eaches own, but because most people don't have it here in the states and it is different and i do like it i'm going for it after the holiday season. do what you will with your fd but i think i can freak it.

I've seen some of those front conversions on miatas.
They look really nice. (only if I can find my pics)
Also reminds me of Tommykara zz.

Can I borrow your V8 to find out? :-)
