That was the first thing I did on my FD. In my opinion it really complete the its look. It has been more than a year ago and till now I have had not a single paint chip even if I touched the lip with the ground more than once with the roads we have here. After all who cares I can always repaint if somthing happnes.

That's what I was thinking. No matter, nobody would know the difference anyways. If the majority of RX7 owners didn't catch it, the general public wouldn't either.

Nice car Mike M!

Looks excellent. However, could you take a photo from further back? Also, what type of hood pins are those?

I caught it... way in the first post. The efini emblem is inverted. I didn't want to say anything, but now that you guys did... I'll join in

I always scrape going up and down drive ways. My car is pretty low, though.

Hood: Mazdaspeed knock off from the guy in California who makes them by order. PLUS: a great body shop ( no limit restorations) in Manassa, VA that trimmed it up finished it, and painted it, just right.
The emblem palcement was done by the shop, and it was their call how it was placed. I appreciate your feedback.
