Took a bit longer than 2 weeks... (56k beware)
So the bodyshop I went to said it'd be two weeks to install a '99 bumper/wing and repaint the car. I thought that'd be great, I figured it would've taken like a month. Try a month and a half, with a few things messed up along the way. Thankfully they're taking care of all of it (it's in the shop still as we speak), so I should have it out by at least Thanksgiving. She still needs a few things like the front lip and brake ducts, but that'll come soon once I figure out what all I need from Jason at the RX7store. In any case, here are a few pics from the bodyshop and afterwards with my friend's 3rd gen Supra. I can't nail down a good shot of what the paint looks like, it seems to change colors under even slightly different lighting conditions.

I like the color too. I think it was a good choice on your part to keep it in the end. More pics please!
BTW: 99 spec bumpers look really really bad w/out lower lips. I know because I sold my 99 lip before I sold the bumper and it looked horrible.

The jams on the doors and sunroof yes, the bay no because they wanted an arm and a leg. I'll be blacking it out myself unless I can find a cheap blue that comes close.

I wouldn't suggest "trying" to find paint that matches unless it's EXACTLY similar. It will look very cheap b/c most people will be able to tell the paint doesn't match. If you're not going to use the same paint then I'd suggest sticking with painting the engine bay black. Black and Blue should look awesome!
