Smile It's Sunny = PICS!

Well the weather God's have smiled upon me today! It's sunny (at least for this afternoon ) and I'm in town for a few days!

So I decided to take the FD for a spin. Here are some pics I took this afternoon at our local park... your comments are welcome!

Wheels are '99 J-Spec Rims (17"x8" front and 17"x8 1/2" rear). The center caps are stock efini caps (snap right in, no problem).

Ahhh! That's a new one on me . I bought mine from GoodfellaFD3S (here on the forum) early last year. See this post for additional details - https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showth...ight=Strut+Bar.

I had the mounting hardware chromed (I saw Turbojeff's and they looked great! Thanks Jeff!).

Sweet ride. Super clean inside and out. You and "apneablue" have the nicest silver FDs I've ever seen!

Damn, you could eat off that engine bay. Kudos to you for having the willpower to keep it that clean and nice. Mine's a daily, so it's pretty dirty compared to that...

BTW, are those the "upgraded" turn signal lenses with clear lens and silver housing? If so, I've made up my mind on getting those.

Very clean and tasteful car.

Where can get the wheels from? I know Cork Sport has them but I think they are a bit to much. I don't mind pay that for them but jut wondering if there is some where else I could look at. BTW nice and clean car. Love it.

Thanks Rynberg! This car is not my daily driver ('05 Acura TL is now), more like my toy . The turn signals are the "upgraded" version (exactly as you described). I haven't seen them around very much in the clear lense with the silver housing. They have them ebay every once in awhile, but I'm not sure if they're made by the same manufacturer or not(??).
