I like your Turbo.....

Sweet luvin! Nice wide open space you got in that engine

Add a R1 Rear Wing and it'll be perfect -> IMO

I'm not a fan of the exterior/interior mods, but that's one sweet engine bay.

Either way, nice car and nice job!

The windshield decal is my shop, as far as the cage goes we sell them for 375 plus shipping, however it takes about 2.5 months to get!!! Oh and we made the headlights in house.

Hmmm.. the more I look at your lights the less I like them for some reason.. no offense to you, very clean work. I would be worried about things (especially water) puddling in them. I guess I am just pre-biased since I am not a huge fan of the sealed/sleek headlight look on the FD.

The front lip is a different model, not a 99 spec.

Id hit it. Nice job with all the custom stuff. Clean engine bay, unique light setup, just about everything is good. What kind of IC is that, did you spray paint that symbol or did it come like that?

It is the feed front bumper, all i did was spray the lip flat black so that it would loof 2 piece eventhough it is one. It is a spearco IC, and the little symbol is our shops calling card in a way, it is alittle japanese dude giving people the finger it came out of a friendly rivalry we have with the domestics around here!! I appreciate the replys\

Bitching nice dude! The headlights are really nicely made, you gotta tell us how you did it. It looks like the 2003 NSX lights. Is the front lip custom or what? Very cool. I am not too big of a fan on the interior mod but it's done nicely as well. Love the rims, love the paint job too.

that is correct hawaii rx-7, it is the feed knock off, sorry that is what i meant to say i refuse to spend 1500 on a front bumper there is just not enough rice in me to do that, plus i needed fiberglass so that i could mold the lights to it......
