looks great! I dont like that light kit to much, and your bumper would look sweeter with an r-1 lip but overall its hot as hell!

 

is that the original paint?

 

Looks good!
Your headed the wrong way unless you show us a few under hood shots
IMO the hood would look better painted.

 

No way, keep the hood the way it is, carbon fiber is hot. Overall, very very nice!

 

Very clean. I would have the hood painted though. The lights look real good.

 

Hey Tekno,

What kind of hood is that? I noticed that you don't have hood pins(I like that), does the hood have a reinforced hood latch? I am having some really bad cooling issuse and a vented hood would sure as hell help out.

I live in SF, too. Let's hook up some time. I'd like to check out your car(hood) in person.

CF on a black car works. Anything else it wouldn't. IMO anyway.

Looks good...

 

Great looking car you've got. What kind of hood is that? which brand? How much did you buy it?

 

I love it. I just don't know too many ladies named dusty. Odd...

 

looks nice, thats the same hood i wanted to get on mine. all you're missin is tint and black wheels

 

the hood from VIS I got it from ebay.. the guy " jtrsport--com " ( ebay name ) packed it up really well.. Shipping was a bitch paid $120 for the shipping and the hood cost $387.00 so it ended up being $507. ( remind me not to add up what the cost of my car is )

Search for " 93-96 RX7 VIS " KS " CARBON FIBER HOOD " on ebay.. also the hood was the only one I found that you didnt need to pin.. I like it alot.

the paint is fresh.. just had the car redone the hood will stay CF for now.. it works with a black car.. If I had any other color it would have been painted.

Under the hood I have to install the v-mount intercooler I just got from rotory extreme. ( I hope to have it install before 7stock ) waiting on the dataloggit before I do the install. also have a bunch of polished stuff to install

I used to be sponsored by VIS for my Civic. They make awesome hoods that are made very very well. All the edges are wrapped and is very strong. No need to use hood pins at all. Plus the clear coat on them is beautiful and stayed that way for over a year until my car got stolen

Also, if you live in So Cal, just pick em up and save tons of money.

 

VIS sells that hood, for us non-Autobot members , for $491 picked up. I do believe that's their version of the Knight Sports carbon fiber hood.

 

BTW, Dusty looks great. Congrats.

 

I would remove the Euro style front bumper lights, but that's just me (+ add a lip).
Very nice car overall.

 

What's wrong with the uero style lights in the front, it's ot like they're tail lights or anything.

 

ya well thanks for the input Rooter.. I just didnt like bright orange with the black.. the uero fixxed the problem.. it works.. anythink but orange.. what was Mazda thinking? I put yellow bulbs in so the cops dont get pissed.

I don't think clear signal lights would be a problem in California, it hasn't been an issue with me down in SoCal. I wonder if the cops up north are more **** about that sorta thing?

 

Just called and for me its $250 W00t for Autobots!

 

Nice look! I like the CF hood on a black car too.
My car it VR so I would have to paint it.
I think the sleek look headlights look better IMO.

Overall, NICE car!

 

Thanks for the info on the hood guys. I see one in the near future (Painted silver).

 

What lights are those. I like them.

DAMN thats a Sweet deal on the hood... only being $250.00 wow wish I could have gotten one from that price..

Fish
the lights are eastbear. I paid 650 + getting them painted.. hope you can find them cheaper.. the lights are nice.. you dont have to cut up your car to install them..

Tek
PS Dusty and I'll be @ seven Stock. ( hope to have her 100% by then )

 

i think he has one it just blends in with his black paint
