wow... that color really pops! Looks great!

It took 9 coats of red (16 coats in total) and 48 hours of wet sanding and buffing. Should be perfect (knowing the painter and owner of the shop) and hopefully ready tonight/tomorrow. Easily a 8-10k paint/body work job. Amazing.....

Your car is gonna be gorgeous.

awesome! Been away for a while but back in it now. Last month cost me over $2700 in unexpected expenses so I've been bummed on everything. Glad to see the car making the homestretch...looks freakin' awesome!!!

obviously a mock up, but you can kind of get an idea of the boost gauge concept, I am contemplating just getting a spirit-r cluster, didn't realize how beautiful it really was.

your guess is as good as mine, I havent gotten an updated finish time, it was supposed to be "any day" last Saturday. Sometime this week, I guess, you will be the first to know when I find out.

Should look great when its done :icon_tup:

Thanks! The rears are perfect, I couldnt ask for any more, looks like it came from Mazda that way. Why anyone would ever want to do rivets is beyond me, other then the immense cost difference.

I'm actually having my FEED rears Riveted on :D
But I'm going for a track car look, rather than a luxury look like yours.
Looking forward to seeing better pics when shes finished :)

purerx7 09-05-09 11:37 AM

Still trying to decide what to do for for wheels, probably meisters when the budget permits.

Ceylon 09-05-09 01:02 PM

Looks great Brian. Is there a part to attach to the fuel filler cover to make it more flush? Or is that already fitted?

The kit did not come with a bracket to extend the fuel door, and my bodyshop forgot to do it. I was talking to bewtew and he said it was very easy to do with a simple bracket.

Car looks great Bryan, once you put the real wheels on and some FEED sideskirts your car will be awesome....Good job...

Laz93RX7 09-05-09 03:47 PM

Laz93RX7 09-05-09 03:49 PM

FEED rear arches. But unlike most, these have been molded in. Looks great imo.

GreatShamanGT 09-05-09 10:29 PM

Hey Bryan, what size and offset are those wheels you have on there right now? I'm asking just for when I do my body =P

RotarySB 09-05-09 11:07 PM

Bryan, I saw your car today. Car looks sick! Turns out we live in the same apartment complex...small world.

evot23 09-06-09 07:02 AM
