Honestly, put a C-West style front on that car (yes, many have it but it flows well with the sideskirts), add the canards to the C-west front...buy some quality 18" wheels that are SILVER and install some black racing style seats. Not sure if you have a drop suspension but looks like it could use that too.

Change those few things and I believe you would have a nice show car there. Obviously you are not going to appeal to the die-hards here, but I don't think it would be fair to call it ricey. Not being someone's taste, and being rice, is completely different!!

Yeah, after a closer look I think you're right.

Just got my interior done in black but I cant figure out how to take out my headliner or carpet yet.(havent searched yet)

Yes I know I need wheels and a new front but they will have to do for now because I will be spending my money on the engine and 5speed.

BTW the sides and rear are moulded in.

Change the front end, and get urself a little more low profile wing. Black/orange color combo is nice looking. Bigger rims wouldnt hurt either

Body kits ok, I think the wings look ok on show cars, but I could never cruise around with one. The paint is so-so, but it looks a little at odds with your tan interior.

It's a nice color but I don't like the wing its a bit too big and apr like. I don't like any black wheels onless theyr on real race cars like the Opal team uses or something.. don't like the front bumper either. The car is just a bit too flashy i think. But im glad that i don't see any nasty graphics or anything like that.

Well I just saw a commercial for the new Chevrolet Colorado and that truck has the same color as my car.

http://www.chevrolet.com/colorado/

In that commercial it really shows how good the color looks.

By saying this I'm not trying to call you ugly but it always makes for a better car picture in my opinion when there isn't anyone standing in front of it.

i agree with everyone...car looks nice with that color, but u gotta ditch the front end and the wing, and if u save up money later on, get some cwest headlights, its gonna look really sharp wit ur color combo imo.

Ditch the front end and rear wing. Black rims look good. You could do one of two things: Keep the stock rims and go with a wingless look or go with aftermarket wheels and keep the black. It's been done before (color combo) but hey, it looks good. It would be possible to add a different wing, even a GT style that flows better with the car and doesn't look inexpensive like the current wing. Without a widebody kit, I'd stay away from the REALLY big GT wings.

Definitely change the color of your seats if not to full aftermarket units (in black).

u wanted my honest opinion...well u shouldn't have touched the exterior of the car until u had a 5 speed and basic bolt-ons...the kit looks horrible...the wing looks horrible...the color looks decent in that ONE pic u are showing us...painted stock wheels are stupid...i could go on, but u get the point...

5 Speed is coming soon (like 2 weeks) car has BASIC bolt-ons and more is coming soon. The stock wheels didnt look right in silver and I have engine work and a tranny swap to pay for so they arent exactally a high priority that was just done to keep with the black and orange combo. Most dont like the kit, I just dont like the front. I useto but dont anymore so I will prob get cwest cuz it looks nice. Wingless look I really didnt like which is what I had before with the kit but Im leaning to the cwest carbonfibre wing.

if money is an issue with the cfv c-west wing (theyr around 2000 i think) they make alluminum ones too for around 800 but theyr pretty hard to find. I havent seen any for the rx-7 but i have for the S2000 and theyd probably be the same wing.

i wouldnt keep the stock rims either.... You should go with a higher number of spokes rim, but keep them black... As for the body kit, its nice but I am not really a big fan of those style front ends... Nice look though, its actually the same color im thinking about painting my FC
