i've always been looking for a good looking one. I know their was a guy on here who just did the "RX-7" frames.

I have always wanted a real Carbon fiber mazdaspeed or re-amemiya frame.

I might settle for a plain carbon fiber frame. If not that then I will either use a Blitz or Greddy frame. This is one thing that I really have overlooked and need to order soon.

In the attached thumbnails are some frames that are good.

I think this thread should be in the interior/exterior section though.

I have a polished license plate frame. Nothing FD specific, but it looks great

Those smoked license plate covers you can get at advance auto may sound like a stupid idea but they look great once on a car. Makes the plate stand out less

Be careful with these types of plate covers. I know in my state the cops will give you trouble for having these.

Get a 99 spec front plate. The one that says rx7 on it. Fits properly on 99 spec bumpers. Or make your own

I have the 'RX-7' one on my 99 spec front. I think I have a few extras laying around from the last group buy, not sure if I want to give them up though

Yea that is understandable but I live in KY, and people in this town drive on slicks to the track. Cops don't care around here.

You should put that plate on, lots of cops crack down hard in jersey.

Yup, you can say that again.......got pulled over back in April for no front plate in Morris Plains (the cops have nothing better to do in that town). Ended up getting a ticket for loud exhaust as well as having my inspection sticker scraped off, the cop said he didn't believe that I passed.

The car was very loud, and it certainly will never pass inspection or emissions, so can't say I blame him

I've since had the car re-inspected and everything is now good to go, but what a pain in the a$$. Of course, I still am running my 'RX-7' front plate instead of the NJ one
