JD's old metalic burgandy RX was one of the hansomest i've seen. If you really want a purple opr orange RX7, fine, but I think these cars look best in more classic colors. Midnight blue would look pretty good too.

yea they r sooooo fun to drive. if u have never driven one i suggest u go to a car lot and act interested and go for a test drive (bring the wife so the dealer cant come with u for the test drive. he he) it like ur in a go kart. my sisters has an intake and exhaust. too bad she is selling it cause a paint shop fucked the paint up and no the whole car need paint. $12000cdn for a paint job. dont want no hack job bs. gonna miss that car.

Nah, it's great. Perfectly glib and morbid. Do it once, do it right.

Good luck getting the color codes for the Red #2 Saleen car. I hear they won't give that one out at all. Oh yea, it's not necessarily red, it's also has an orange tint to it depending on how the light hits it.

Satin is a semi gloss. Like almost flat. I think he is going to go semi or satin black for the time being untill we can talk him into something else.

I agree the dark red looks really nice, John Duff (I think that was his name, I may be mistaken) who used to work at PFS years ago did his like that I think it came out great....one of those two is also similar to the Millen RX-7 pictured here...I would love to do the same but at this point can't justify $5k for a paint job! Cheers

Satin black is the color i want to paint it but RX7WHAT doesnt want me to do to the resale value of the car in that color .so i looked for diff colors and those colors are what you see in the first page...but its my car and i dont plan on selling it ever so satin black with a flatener in the clear it will be...

Come on we all cant have shinny cars and i think it will look mean
