Actually, I think that car would be *ok* if they would just remove all of the damn stickers and go with another color besides pure hue green.
The pseudo altezza tails don't bother me that much since they are not a high chrome finish (from what I can see in the photo) but a bit subdued as if they are smoked a bit.
The super red interior doesn;t do anything for me though... all black with silver/metallic accents in a few places is more my taste.

Call me crazy, but it doesn't look all *that* bad. The taillights are kinda nasty, but I think I like those small light in the front bumper. Man, I don't know what to think....

ya know what i think it is for me though, just the first shock of seeing it. We arent really used to seeing weird kits like this that are just out there. Another kit in this catagory is the RE one.

ya just look at em and are just like
some slight personal adjustments to the first car posted and i guess i can get used to it. Also Goodfella another person did the same small lights in the front bumper a while ago with a Veilside CII,(lemme get the pics.....)....done by Gary Gooding. And well doesnt look as good as the first green FD.

common car in all the RE magazines at the moment - yeah, makes me cringe everytime I see it.

(it's in the latest issue of RX7 magazine (#18) - not sure if any of you can get your hands on that though - in fact, it's the cover car).

does have a couple of good features though - for example, if you look at the last pic, you can just see that there are gauges (3) mounted in the passenger side sun visor.

Hmm... It looks ok actually, just kind of weird. It looks like one of those cars you see on sports tuner magazines and so forth that are racing on the course in Japan. Now some of those cars look funky to me.

I kindof like the first green one but Only* because there's nothing like it out there...I hope. I definately like the horizontal mount intercooler. However I don't know about the 2nd tach....he probably has it because his turbo timer makes his boost gauge block the one that actually works. Are those gauges in the passenger side sun visor?

Or he revs passed 9k and didn't want to go with a stack.

IT's not bad for the color and all the stickers. Nobodys going to like everything. I would much rather take a clean car like rich's though.

The picture of the first green car is the Sanai FD. Technically, it's not "rice" per say, since it's Sanai's company car to advertise their products and not some slammed flourescent pink car at the NOPI Nationals. It's just a really good example of bad taste.
