So the dealership didn't have these two items available. But MazdaMotorsports, once again, came through with both items. So if the dealership doesn't have the items that I need, I'll forever check MMS. I just like ordering from the Dealership because I pay 10 percent above cost for items and receive free shipping next day or next couple days v.s. ordering at cost plus shipping.

Corksport does not price match. I chose the US based company for customer service and credibility. I know that i was paying more for those two factors.I didn't want a difficult situation to have happened and it not resolve. This was easier for me to deal with a company that spoke my language and picked up my phone calls rather then outside the States.
And though it may seem minuscule to their rewards system, My entire purchase earned me 110 dollars towards another purchase which i bought the Brake ducts at a reduced cost.
Authentic Japanese license plate for the Rx7 Vehicle Class. This will be mounted on the front bumper and I can switch back and forth the the Title "Rx7" Front plate or this.

I just ordered the R-Magic oil Cooler Ducts. Not sure how exactly they will fit along with the brake ducts and 99 fog lights once installed. I sure hope that there won't be any issues.

I went to the paint shop and its being painted today or tomorrow. Shop is backed up and there are so many people dropping off their cars, boats, etc to get done and they are starting to get overwhelmed. Luckily, I will be ready for the Miami Churrasco Meet next Saturday.
As for the light bulbs I was questioning about, I'm an idiot. Since I bought OEM Turn Signal lamps, Mazda already has them inside.

Just as I was about to get the car, I seemed to have not order a few hard plastic seals to replace some old ones. I get them tomorrow and will quickly drop them off to clay. I'm so upset with myself though I know the job is done right.
I was missing the hard plastic seal that wipes the window on the outside of the door the length of the window, the top half of the window hard plastic seal outside, and a polished black triangle plastic that goes in the front corner outside of the window near the side mirror. All costing around 572.00. Astonished by the price Mazda gave me but I am already deep into the restoration and paint job that I can't go back. It wouldn't be right.

@zepowermx6 your right, you don't see a lot of them. I did however see one at kilo racing which was jaw dropping.
Mazderati it's the first choice I wanted when I was finding a FD. Black was second, followed by red.
@narfle thanks, I am finishing the front end with rmagic oil cooler ducts, and new 99 spec fog lights.

She's back in my life after a 2 month Hiatus. This is Montego Blue under the Clouds. When Its sunny out later in the week, I will show the brilliance of the color. The Car will go back into the Decaudellas to take care of the paint shrinkage, buffed and polished once more, and to have a sealant sprayed on in January. For now she is mine.

Some type of 5 or 6 spoke bronze wheel. I wanted to get 17s but was told 18s would be better for autocrossing. So I might have two sets of wheels for daily and autocross. I also considered getting staggered wheels though they aren't practical for daily driving because of tire rotation but they aesthetically look better. This decision won't be made until later next year.
