you can probably wet sand the CF hood and Apply a nice coat of Clear it will look like new

or try to Compound it first.

and its a hiroshim exhaust. 3" all the way. then 3.5 tip.

blackedoutFC3S 01-10-09 04:49 PM

So... is it turbo'd? Maybe I missed if you posted that or not or if it still is a strait GTU. Engine bay pics man!

rx7fc90 01-10-09 05:19 PM

id say lose the left side FTP lens since you dont have the o ther one mine looks nice without the ftp :D

ICEY? 01-10-09 05:38 PM

iani1.1 01-10-09 08:49 PM

yes it is... with mississippi roads the way they are and steep driveways... the lip was a great nvistment for only about 16 bucks and an hour of time... it would look better if my bumper wasnt a little bit warped.

i think if i redid it i could do a WAY better one tho lol

K!NCH 01-10-09 09:09 PM

Needs coilovers. Looks awesome tho.

ecko 01-10-09 09:31 PM

^clean car man yes i agree all she needs is to be slammed.

how did the white guage face install go? pics?

87 t-66 01-12-09 09:57 AM

suggestion: don't install those white face gauges. they make your car look like a cheap ebay special.

drill the holes in my bumper more strait. and also dont use the M3 double side tape and use a slightly bigger garage door lining. mine is only 3inch i would go 3.5

tank060206 01-29-09 11:29 PM

what size wheels are you running there in the last pics, is that upgraded suspension aswell?

need RX7 01-30-09 01:02 AM

wat

Seriously? Those are way too big IMO... Clean car otherwise.

shika805 01-30-09 01:13 AM

i like the wheels but they look a little big bro.. what size you running???

RESPEC7 01-30-09 05:44 AM

holy shit! thats WAYYYY cool

love the wheels.. has it been photoshopped?

g14novak 01-30-09 08:39 AM

Looks like 18's. Way too big on a 7. biggest i'd personally go would be 17's and those look a little big to me... 18's cost to much to get tires for anyways...

Btw, I love the way your exhaust sounds. :icon_tup: on that one.

Fixed :)

MidnightOwl 01-30-09 09:06 AM

I see wide fenders in your future for epic win.

ICEY? 01-30-09 10:20 AM

19" Work VS-XX 19X9.5 and 19X12

stock suspension with alittle photoshop to make it look lower.
