They shouldv'e at LEAST used the mazdaspeed RX8 bumper cover instead of the OE... it looks alot better even on the actual RX8.

I can certainly admire the craftsmanship, but ultimately, more time should have been spent on "concept", and less on execution. The end result looks like ***.

Like I said in the other post, if I were to do something this crazy my choice would be to use the mazdaspeed front of the rx8, molded pettit rear flares and the adjustable feed wing all dressed in black with a better choice of wheels...but I would have to start with one f@cked up seven to even think about it ....

No offense, but that's just ugly. Answered my question though as to what an RX7 would look like with RX8 lights. At least know I know without trying it and having to shoot myself after it was done.

Not to my taste but each to their own. I'm pretty sure I'd puke at some of the people's cars on here that don't like the RX8/RX7 combo.

her bf choose pink as the color?

gosh...he must be really gay!

I dunno, I think its pretty sweet.

Lets see what half of the hater's cars look like - 50bucs says no one has near the amount of labour involved in that swap.


Props to keeping things fresh - however contraversial it may be.

Well, I'll bite. I don't have nearly the hours in my car for bodywork (can beat most anyone on the engine side though) but I think the original, somewhat modified stealth look is a lot better. Keep the 7 the 7 but I guess to each his own:

i think its original and its a lot more creative then just buying a aftermarket front bumper and throwing it on. i personally wouldnt put it on my car (well maybe my RX-8) but i do appreciate the work, time, and effort that has gone into it. you guys can bash it all you want, but you cant deny the originality (until everyone's doin it, which hopefully wont happen for aesthetic purposes) i also think that thats how the RX-8 should have came from the factory.
