That looks really nice.

Just curious, but is your GTC bumper authentic or one of the replicas? I love it

Looks awesome, very clean. Perhaps a wheel upgrade, and a little drop, it would be uber money. Not digging the antenna extended in the action pics, it kinda takes away from the agressiveness factor (maybe it's just me though). Very nice though, real impressive.

Nice pictures. The car needs some bigger wheels though and could also use an aftermarket suspension. They look odd with stock wheels and stock ride height.

ya i know... i did not realize the antenna was up at the time, that will get photoshoped out. I would have wheels, but i got screwed over on them... Back in January i ordered a custom set of Volk's from RX7Trix.net, they were a custom order of 18" x 12" because i have a widebody kit sitting in my garage. well to make a long story short i still have no wheels and no money back. i got screwed out of $2500 and am still trying to get my money back. NEVER DO BUISNESS WITH RX7TRIX.NET!!

Damn, I am sorry to hear that. I have always had good dealings with Brandon at Rx7Trix.

Didn't you paint this car yourself back in the day? Anyways, looks really nice. You should come out to some of the Miami Club meets.

Car looks great. What does the sheet of aluminum in the front of the engine bay do?

It is for the cooling system, the air that comes up over the front mount gets directed through the radiator....and it looks cool too

Love the from half of the car but would go away from that wing. Paint looks very good and changing stock wheels will bring you up to another level. All I can say is 100 times nicer than my car.
