Really man its up to you. You shouldn't have other people pick out what your car is going to look like. It's called being orignal

And to answer some of your questions. I would test drive your car first. No reason to go through spending $80+ on aligenment and balancing. No one knows if a car needs those unless you drive it. Your balancing won't be off unless like you said your weights fell off or you hit something with the rims.
Also, polishing your rims would look like nice, but polishing won't make them look chrome. So if you want that chrome look, go get them chrome dipped.

Hope I helped answer some of your questions. If you lived near me I could get you the hook ups on balancing and aligen, but you dont so thats your lose, just playin. Good luck!!

BY the way my friend polished his turbo on his civic and that came out chrome looking along with his intercooler and piping. I know what you mean that chrome will alway have a deeper look to it but i wouldnt wanta ruin the light weigh casted wheels with chrome. Adventually im gonna go with gram lights and get those polished as well. In the accident my front wheel was tapped very little. So little there was only alittle bit of the guys paint on it and i took some chrome polish and it came off in like 3 rubs bak and fourth. but the balance did move alittle. The wheel in back i think it nipped a curb but not very hard, about as hard as when you park quickly and nip the curb and the balance came off.

mike get what you like dont listen to anyone (except for me that is) its your car dont let anyone tell you to do something that they like its your car your putting the time and money into it. the vertex kit is hot and so is a 99 conversion. its really hard to make an rx7 ugly. u know kid, peace.

Hey john whats up kid. Its not even that im gonna really listen to what people tell me about the looks anyway cause thats all personal preference its just i dont know which 1 i like better. I meen it will be hot to have the vertex kit cause it is definitly the hottest looking kit made for our car and nobody has it. I was hoping if someone does have it if they would post a pic and i also wanted to know if i can modify my stock rebar to work with it. I know some1 has it i seen a thread about someone selling one or something like that

Wut up Mike

I dunno which one is best....like everyone said, when all is said and done, you're gonna have to look at your car a LOT more than anyone else, so make sure it's something you like.

I only know one other person who's getting the Vertex kit, and he hasn't put it on yet. It's def. hot. But then again, I'm a sucker for the 99spec too. This is just my $0.02, but I'm one of those guys who wouldn't go 99spec unless I was into changing a bunch of stuff on my car to JDM and 99spec. Cuz for me, the 99spec stuff isn't just a body kit...it's a 99spec car (or on it's way to being very much one hehe) Obviously, you don't have to...but that's just how I am. As for any other body kit...it's all about your creativity. That's how I see it.

Lemme know what you go w/. Oh, and you might wanna get quotes on the body parts shipped, first. Usually, that helps ppl make a decision REAL quick lol

I know i can get the kit for 2,100 but if brandon can get me a better price or match ima go threw him. If you dont mind asking your friend where he got his from and how much let me know also ask him if the rebar can be made to fit.

He got the kit from Chuck of RotaryExtreme (www.rotaryextreme.com). I don't think he's even tried to put it on yet, so no go w/ the re-bar.
