I have a different one, with no holes, but not on the car cause it will push the hot air from the rad back up into the engine bay.
Just my 2 cents..

This, but to truly be effective as protection, you should affix some screen over the holes

That does not sound like a bad idea at all. Thanks TomU the point is to make improve the car. I am open for ideas. I may like some and some I may not go with.

I am sure many are wondering why I placed the oem wheels on it. Well I just did not want to chance getting over spray on my wheels. I am already paranoid after my last experience with a paint shop.

Well just like any other time I take my rx7 to a body shop there is always drama. This time is no different. You can only imagine what happened. Man I cant get a break

We wouldn't have to imagine if you'd tell us :)

Good point twin. Just wonder who would guess happened. Take a shot at it twin.

TwinCharged RX7 09-17-19 08:57 PM

Painted it the wrong color haha

spintriangles 09-17-19 09:00 PM

Damn your good. So it was supposed to be 2004 corvette torch red. Instead I got 2004 corvette victory red.

Not sure how to feel about this. Talked to the painter and he is not really happy about the situation either. Let's see what happens when the paint cures. Hopefully it will change color a little. Let's see what happens.

Walk away happy- The torch red is much more orange/vibrant than the victory red. I had a car painted the wrong color once and took it, it was nice but I never loved it.

alexdimen 09-18-19 12:27 PM

I think it looks awesome in that color. Very deep and rich color.

BLUE TII 09-18-19 02:24 PM

Looks great!

But I know what you mean about Red paint- we all see it differently.

I dont like my FDs Vintage Red, only looks good to me at sunrise and sunset or if I put a Blue filter on pics. Everyone else tells me Im wrong.

ptrhahn 09-18-19 02:36 PM

Might actually be better than torch, on anything but a track/race car. It's a little more sophisticated a color. Looks better on the FD than the Corvette!

Blue Tll Thank you. At first I was pissed. I actually like it now. All my buddies say it looks better in this red. It was torch red before the paint job.

I agree it does look better on the fd than it does on the vette

TwinCharged RX7 09-18-19 11:58 PM

I like this color better than the other one.

I still don't understand why no one has tried the Soul Red Mazda color on an FD yet. It makes all their other cars look pretty great. Their latest blue is also nice.

Thank you Twin. I also like the soul red also. I am sure someone will do it.
