The carbon parts on the front are called Canards. Just like the CF wing on the back the canards up front create downforce. Those are a FEED part as well and you can order them with the bumper.

I just bought ( well havent taken delivery of it yet but basically bought it) a new RX-7 and it has quite a few exterior mods to it, im just not sure what I wanna keep and what I wanna change. And that rx-7 that I posted is the nicest looking rex ive seen.

Cool man. Remember a few things:
This car is maintence heavy. Change the oil every 2500 miles religiously; the car burns oil quick so be sure to check the levels weekly. Change the fuel filter every 15,000 miles. These cars are known to have engine fires so carry a fire extinguisher (sp?) with you. Get a aluminum AST and a Aluminum Radiator. Do not turn up the boost until you get proper fuel management.
Do yourself a favor and take it to a ROTARY SPECIFIC shop before you do anything to it. I thought i bought a good FD but it turns out it had all kinds of **** wrong with it. Took it to a shop, spent $4k, and it ran tip top.
Good luck!

Im gonna have to buy a powerfc and a new exhaust for it and probably a boost controller. But you feel I should get the aluminum ast and radiator too? Ive heard silicone hoses are good as well, and i know a good fuel system is good too. The car im getting has a new fuel pump, new engine and new turbos. So do you think I should just take it to KDR and have them look at it completely and set me up? I dont want to spend more then 3k to get it running smoothly, unless obviously i HAVE to. By the way, theres a pic of the car.

That's a pretty nice ride. The aluminum AST and aluminum radiator is probably the most important part of the car. The stock AST and radiator is prone to cracking, spilling coolant and eventually leading to a blown engine if overheated. Next on the list is the fuel filter because it probably hasn't been changed and will decrease performance. Then get the rats nest checked out to make sure you're getting good boost. The power fc is a great idea but not nessacary.
Here's a rule of mods most people on this forum follow in order to avoid problems:
Downpipe, Intake, Exhaust, Engine/Fuel Management (power fc, chip, etc), boost controler, Intercooler. After all that then there's going single turbo+beefed up fuel system. This is just my suggestion. Do some more research before going through with this stuff.
I already own that bodykit up there. It's called the Burnout kit found here ----> https://www.rx7club.com/group-buy-center-69/fd3s-ks-auto-kd-i-type-ii-aero-kit-last-chance-500523/ I won't be installing mine for a year or so though. Good luck with your car!

Yeah I love it, looks much better in person, that pic sucks. Maybe ill go for that burnout kit later but right now i think ill stick with whats on the car. I thought to run reliably, the Power FC was needed to maintain boost levels and whatever else it does. I'd love not to have to buy that since thats another 1k in my pocket. If it does produce a drastic increase in reliability and performance then I would prolly get it, but if its not necessary to run the car, then I probably won't get it.

By the way, congrats on the burnout kit purchase......it looks so sick. Its also very unrealistically low, which makes it looks 100 times better, but not driveable at all imo. ( Just reffering to the allure of the Burnout Car picture)
