No, its not spray paint. I had a local shop do it professionally with PPG Silverstone Metallic.

I'll get to the projectors soon.

The interior looks great too.

Are you serious ? Holy crap thats hot. Im glad Im not the only one still going by Celcius. But I have a knightsport hood and a stock hood. With A/C on and stock hood I hold 86c steady and on wot with a/c off I get to a maximum of 99c. Normal 2 highspeed pulls to 140-150 I am only at 91c and with hood I noticed a drop in temps quite a bit with the knightsports. I can run 85 w/ a/c on and around 89c with 2 highspeed pulls. At normal I only run eh 88-90 with no a/c on and full blazing heat on my car. BTW one hell of a car you got there I am just concerned about your temps I believe somewhere in the 90's you are at 200F.

The vented hood helps a lot! I recommend it to all FD owners. Does wonders for maintaining good engine temps. Of course the air temps are better for the air intake system as well.

can you do a how-to for the hid projectors? price? PICS!!! looks great man! with only 17k miles I would have left it all stock and save it, bought another one with more miles and mod it (if I had the money)

Mine had 34,xxx miles when I bought it this past summer, I put on over 2k miles already!!

Good one David

Where did you get those from? I figure we can get off topic since we're waiting for the pics of the lights.

That car is superb. First time a seen the scoot in silver, and got too say it looks fantastic. I really like your selection of body mods, and done in the right way. Your FD is the ****! BTW you got too many freaking toys, you lucky dog. If you ever get tired of them please send them my way!

I'll get the beam pattern some other day. Its pretty spread out and decent. The beam pattern could be better if the lens didn't have those cut angles in it. The lens had to be sanded and smooth back out where the projectors projected the light out. I wonder if you could buy clear/smooth headlights for the 3rd Gen RX7??? Anyone know? Less than $500 could get you this setup. I suggest using a relay for the install and try to get the 12 volt straight from the battery.
