Good looking car. I'm not a fan of the smoked lenses though. It's not that they look bad nor anything, it's just not my cup of tea.

you should paint the feed sideskirts as well... That is, if you're going to keep the splitter red.

No offense... it's a beautiful car... but i think you must be bored and thinking too much about it. The lip looked better black, especially with the feed skirts... and the light's look a little cheezy tinted. One of the best things about the '99 front end is the updated signals, and now you've made them look like those cheap smoked covers that people but on Camaros and such.

You had it just right before... quit messing with it! Less is more.

It doesn't look horrible or anything, but I think I liked it better before the smoked lenses and paint. When the lip was black it flowed better with your sideskirts, and I think the unsmoked lenses looked better against the red....

I think it looks pretty sick myself, im a little unsure about the smoked lights, but the front lip looks 100% better painted. Your right though less is more. Its not like im putting some hideous kit on it or anything. I just like to be different. I hated the plastic splitter, it just looked cheasy.

I say all black on the skirts and lip, or all red. Doesn't look balanced currently.

Very nice, I like it more than before. But I was thinking whille looking at your car, that if you were to put some nice 5 spoke deep dish rims the car would be a jaw dropper, not saying that its not already.

















Im not saying your rims aren't deep enough, but somethiing more aggressive

I think the smoked lenses are cool but you'll never sell us on the painted splitter.

^^ i like the painted splitter, but I do feel that if the splitter is painted then the skirts should be too.

This is a tuff croud.. I am happy with the car. i think if you people saw it in person you would like it. I just wanted to share. Plus the black splitter did not match my carbonfiber Sideskirts anyways.

I agree with the comments about the lip and light covers, but otherwise it's a very nice looking car.

I think the car looks great no matter what. I really like the painted splitter.

If it was my car, I'd paint the sideskirts and take off the smoked lenses though.

Don't get me wrong, it still looks great! And if you are happy with it then by all means keep it the way you like it. Different strokes for different folks, we wouldn't want all rx7's to look the same now would we?

I like the shaded lenses.. but not quite THAT much.. Maybe a 35-40% would look good. Thats BLACK!

Looks good overall though. Congrats.
