Your car looks a lot like "EviLPeNeviL's":

Thanks! They were originally the ones with a red background and silver outline... Well I tried to paint the Silver but it turned out horible, so I went all black. I was kinda unsure how I would like it at first but after putting them on the car I love them!

yeah it does, I stole his idea for the RX-7 Badge

Yeah, those pics didn't have the new badges or the rims painted.

Thumbs up

Nice and clean. I like the black on red scheme you got going on there. You need to paint the headlight cover and your car will be perfect.

Oh yeah, your car looks like EviLPeNeviL's. To be different I want to see those wheels with the center caps painted red (even tho EviL's wheels are enkei's). Man, this would look real good.

Off topic: I need to fix a dent in my hood and know I will need some touch up paint. Is it true that you can get vintage red or any type of auto color in an aerosal can at the auto paint store? What is the color code for VR?

Wow... I don't like it at all. Sorry.

I've never liked black rims - they look like steel wheels with missing hubcaps. Your exhaust looks ricey, in my opinion. And the glass sunroof clashes with the rest of the car.

I know that dam headlight cover

I'm moving on the 15th of next month after that I will have some time to get it done.

and about the paint color. I'm not sure but I need to find out because I have some nasty chips that need to be touched up.

paw140... I respect your opinion, everyone has their own idea of what looks good. Thanks for being honest.

I don't know why some people hate on the HKS CF TI. I think it looks awsome, and with a DP/MP it sounds MEAN!

on the issue of black rims... I have friends that were like ehhh... you want to paint your rims black, yuck! But after they saw it in person their opinion changed. The look very stunning in person, it makes the car look very low and agressive.

again thats just IMO

That would be sweet. The new apartment im moving into has a garage so the 7 is going to get a major detail job, along with painting that dam headlight cover. When I get done its going to be glowing lol. Then we will definately have to get some pics.

Yo,


Looks great, perfect example why FD's should never be molested with bodykits/wings.

Looks great! I like the black wheels. You going to go with some red anodized lug nuts?

Would probably look good.

Nice to see a clean FD!
