The pink one and the red hearse -sacrilege on FD's.

I love the red one with the tape on side of bumper. Its a beauty.

I'm currently fabricating a bumper like that, and when its finished i'm kicking out my wife 'cause i'll be sleeping with my FD. he he he!!!

Wish i had the funds to have mine look like the one from cardomain. Its the nicest,tougest, prettiest, whatever, FD i have ever seen!!!!

Well if you STEAL people's credit cards just like the owner of the red one with the tape AKA AA Rotary, (stealing is why he made the list BTW) you too can have the ride of your dreams.

Hey now! I admit my lights look a bit like atezzas but im thinking about looking up a custom tinting guy to black them out a little but leave the two aluminum accents inside visible. Thoughts?
Did I meet you at the FDR meet?

Sorry PoLaK but you seem to be going off the deep end a bit
Let me rescue you



If you look at the ends, looking at the fact that they have Alluminium Accents as you call them in the turn signals, and a round bezel around the brake signal, makes them somewhat remeniscent of RX-8 Lights, now the fact that these are pure rice, and the RX-8 ones come standard like that, does not imply that the Factory Rx-8 lights are Rice, just that the ones in the above picture stole design ideas...

As to your question, I think you'll get a better / more informative answer outside this thread.

And please don't hicjack my thread with usefull & meaningfull information, you're doing a disservice to the purpose of this thread, to digust, and amuse.

Crazy, kid. Thats a hot 7. Just because it has a huge sponsor decal on it doesnt mean its rice. The hatch can always be removed.

I thought this thread is about ccondemming ugly FD's.
The fact that the guy stole the car does not make the car ugly. i don't care a rat's *** about the thief. he should go to prison.

Parts can be removed on any of the cars listed, it doesn't mean it's any better.

What about the front fenders, front bumper, rear spoiler, less-useful rear view mirrors and 'flashy' fuel door cover? Personally, I'd throw the headlights in there too.

I was referring to the FD above with Greddy spanning across the side. Maybe it's just me, but the side mirrors look tiny.

Gotcha...I was thinking of THE actual rear view mirror in the car...and thinking "what kind of ricer mod could you POSSIBLY do to that mirror? LED lights? what?!" lol

I THINK those are ARC or somethin like that CF side view mirrors. I've seen them before...

Sidenote: if you think those are small side view mirrors, have you ever seen the stock mirrors on an FB? OMG...those are horrid. They're like the size of a quarter haha

I should have said side mirrors, my mistake. I'm sure someone has probably made a "ricey" rear-view mirror some how. If not, just wait.

They also don't have a convex mirror, which is quite annoying.

LOL...i know, right? It's like they say... make something idiot-proof, and you'll just make better idiots haha. So in this case, im sure the rear view will show us just how ricey you can get!

THAT'S what it's missing!! I KNEW there was something else to it than just being small...

those mirrors look like the RE amemiya mirrors...i like them...actually want a set for my fc...doesn't greddy use RE for most of their show cars anyway???and you should watch what you call rice....all show and no go is rice..like the car with 1 cm of space between the ground and the bottom of the body kit..t88 or not, he would loose body parts if he hit the gas hard enough...i am sure that if greddy is putting out a show car, they would at least put out a car that moves...i am sure if you saw a superbird or roadrunner you would call it rice because you see a body kit and huge wing...calling them ugly is one thing, but watch it with the word rice...ignorance can be helped, but stupid is forever...

This is the Rx-7 list of shame thread. If that dosen't bring shame to the community I don't know what does.

Ding Ding! Ding!
new contender:


If you want your 7 to look like an 8: GO OUT AND BUY AN 8. It's prolly cheaper in the long run anyway (maintenace, age, conversion, original price tag....)
