Gordon, the rings are almost a polish look but they are advertized as silver. No worries about my body kits ideas. The only reason why I don't like the OEM bumper it is because the opening for the radiator is very small and where I live it gets in the 120s during the summer and I'm a bit worried about that. If I do upgrade the look of the car it will be OEM with either 99 spec or GTC bumper. I really like this look but between the front bumper, lights, paint it is a lot of money and I would have to get the RE lights. I'm very **** when it come to spending money because I like it to go far. I photoshoped shiftyRX7 car to black so I could get an idea of what it would look like, but this is just food for thoughts.

Gordon,
Changing the front bumper on the car is really a very very low priority. My next big purcase is going to be JDM Recaro seats (yes, said I wasn't going to get them but they can't be in beat comfort and adjustability), upgraded oil coolers and water/meth injection.

Got my steering wheel today. It needs to be clean really bad but that's easy. I found some one that can make me a horn button with the Mazda emblem so I'm going to change that eventually.
It came with some goodies. I had to make sure Tony (87GTR) didn't send me a Japanese Midget in the box.

Interior all cleaned and put together. Next thing are seats. I want the JDM Recaro in black but at $3200 for a set of used seat +$1200 shipping, I still skeptical about it.

It is a Miata unit. I got mine in Ebay. If you get one, let me know because I got an extra harness for the radio that makes it plug and play. If you have a Bose unit then you can make one. There is a way to add one to this but I haven't really bother to try. Also there is a guy in Ebay that sells them with the Aux mod already done.

On the first interior picture it was dirty. The steering wheel had some crud on it and the protective fill over the Momo logo. I had wires all over the carpets and the seat. The second pic is after the wife spent the hole morning wiping down EVERYTHING. I'm very **** about keeping my cars clean. I ran out of my soap and I rather wait till I get more than use a generic brand out of Auto Zone. The type of soap actually makes a huge difference on the way the paint shines. So my car went without a week of getting washed.
