First Pictures Of My 7!!

I still have a lot of work to do on the car
It's always going to be a project
As you noticed I need the turn lamps and I need to clean, polish, or paint my wheels or something.
Those 2 will be next.
Just got a streetported motor and a new paint job
The color is laser red a 3 stage metallic color.
I finally feel like I own a rx7 and part of the rx7 community here now that it is out of the shops where it was since June 23d
Enjoy and if you have any questions or comments please go ahead....

Yeah I got mine from mbautosports
They call it the feed style but it looks like the 99 spec with a very low lip to me
I like it a lot I think it looks nice it's very low though I have to go over any slight bump sideways.
I have the chrome mesh coming for the background too I'll put that on with the turn lamps.
thanks I love the color too

Nice color. I'm scared to get an aftermarket lip and paint it up here in Boston. That thing would be all done in a week.
Good job. That thing will be sweet when you're done.
Good luck.
Jim
Oh. And you're making me nervous parking in between people like that. Could you please get an end spot next time?

hopefully people will see that it's a nice car and watch it a little

Before you boost to 12psi, get an aftermarket IC.


Tell that wuss in the protogé to drive a real car. Then ask him what he thinks. He'll say "It IS the car as well as how you drive."

Looks pretty good so far, just need to get those front lights in. And defanitly invest in some sideskirts. The bumper doesn't keep up with the FD's lines to look great on it's own imo.

I think it looks ok without the side skirts and the rest. Whenever I see that stuff, it looks like too much gaudy crap.

Don't SS provide some sort of functionality by directing the air away from the undercarriage and up over the top where the wing can reach it? I coulda sworn SS were for more than just looks....
