I plan on painting my VR another type of red. It need a paint job anyways.

 

I'm planning on using the stock Vintage Red when I re-paint my 93. It is a beautiful color, when it isn't chipping off in big chunks because Mazda/Ford screwed the pooch on the paint process of a $35K car nine years ago!!!

Sorry about that, had to vent for a second!

 

My car was repainted C5 Torch Red by the previous owner. You can check out pics at http://ashwinbihari.com/RX7/pics.php

 

Wow, your car looks *very* nice man. Looks like a new car. So when are you going to start changing that underhood picture with some nice shiny mods?

also--never seen that hood before; details please

 

That hood is on the tip of my tongue. It's just like the Scoot hood, but just w/o the vents to release the heat.

 

Hey! I know that car....Thats my friend Tony's old 7. You got a good deal on that car! New turbos and engine.

 

Thanx dude..that car does indeed look very new, it's been very well maintained. I will have to wait a little while before I start changing things under the hood..getting married soon..

The hood is the stock FD hood with a Viper Hood vent grafted on it, it came out really good IMO.

You are correct sir..that is indeed Tony's car..and I got a terrific deal on a terrific car..I absolutely love it!

 

Looks sweet man nice ride what kinda red is that??

 

Ya i saw that thread but i was hoping for some more Thanks again.

Looks nice how much did it cost you?

 

I got the wingless Red one. Name is Art

 

I was told by my body shop that he selected a different red than the original code (NT).... http://members.shaw.ca/wankelhed/gallery.html

 

My hood is chipped up pretty good, one of these days I'm gonna have to look into a paint. Good thread, nice to see what some of you guys are doing in that respect.

Chris nice car.

 

A red that i would like to see on a FD would be the same red that Ford used on the 98 mustang gts, I know what most of you are thinking... "What the hell?... the same color as what Ford used???" now i know its not the color of an exotic car like porshe or anything but the rare Rio red mustang gts are very bright and look extremely smooth... just an opinion... like to hear feedback though....

 

What do you guys think of this color ?My vr rx is at the body shop right now and i was thinking of going with this paint .

 

here is a pic of the mustang color....

 

I payed 900 for the paint job. I knew they guy and he owed me a favor. But the paint itself cost 399 plus clear 124. Sealer 79. There was no body work so the rest was profit for him. Usually he charges 1300 plus major body work. Minor work like door dinges are included.
