Just finished getting it painted this weekend. Still lots more work to go though.

 

Hey man, real glad to see that you finally got your front end all figured out. Its weird you posted today actually, I was just reading your post from a while ago where you modified that stock front end for your fmic. It looks great. I just got my 99 front from Jason on friday. How hard was it to install?

 

did you decide not to use the custom front bumper that you made?

Good looking car.

 

I got mine from Jason too. It was really easy to install. I didn't have to modify the bumper cover at all to make it fit. I just transfered all the mounting hardwar over.

 

Quite a few people convinced me to go with a '99 spec lip on the modified bumper. The lip would not fit on the modified bumper. I didn't think if would look very good without a lip, so I decided to go with the '99 bumper.

 

Your car is sexy .

 

Awesome. Thats what I was looking to hear. The car looks great with the front and those rims. You might wanna get some sort of protection in front of that intercooler. It would be a shame to see a rock imbedded in it.

 

did you remove your re bar or u still have it on?

 

im bout to install mines tomorow and was just wondering what all has to be done and how difficult is it?

 

Damn after all that work you scrapped the project because the lip wouldn't fit? Well the car looks great now

 

looks great. what kind/size wheels are they?

 

damn, cant wait til i go 99 spec with new paint

 

i think u should get a rear wing of some type.

 

Looks great, but you really need to raise the car at least an inch. It's simply sitting too low for real driving.

 

18" Gram Light 57-s Pro.

 

Looks great Bodyshop.

Whats next for the car?

 

Several things to say:

1. Nice

2. Great shots, any and every car has weird angles. You chose 2 beautiful ones for the FD.

3. Khumo Ecsta MX's? How do you like them? I might be getting those for my next set of street tires...

4. The JDM front end should work like a "Re-call" for us USDM Mazda Rx7 owners. It just beautifies the front end so much, and may save some FD's from horrific body kits.

5. Might I suggest OEM Mudguards for that extra "thickness" image?

6. NICE

 

Beautiful. Take a look at my pics in my sig. Your car is even lower than mine!

 

Thank you very much. I'm not sure about the Khumos. I need get an allignment and get the tires broken in before I really start to push them. I figured I couldn't beat them for the price. I have always run SO-3s before now. I'm not sure if I like the mudguards, but I'll look at some other pics to make sure.

 

Beautiful car! I'm loving the wheels to go along with the red. The new look is looking sexy also

Ha. I have S0-2's on my car right now. Planned on getting 17-18's with Khumo Ecsta MX's when the time comes. Let me know what you think! 2 Friends of mine that AutoX said they love the MX as a great street tire.

I bought my car and the owner gave me the set of mudguards. I drove my car for a while without em, and then finally put them on. I think it does enough to the looks of the car to try and get some and put them on. Much better than a sideskirt that looks like a slug that's tack'd onto your car :P (unless you mold it in I suppose) And any rear valence doesn't flow right IMO.

 

I think I need to finish up the interior and then comes trans rebuild and tuning. I don'g think there's much else to do after that.

 

Simply superb.

Do you have distant shots of your car? What is your suspension setup?

 

Needs some JDM round tail-lights

 

nice man

i love the red '99 conv, same mazdamike's at no pistons and its just as awesome

great job

good thing u didnt run the hacked stock front bumper
