Some new pictures of last weekends event.
I'm curious of what you rx-7 enthusiasts think of this new colour?
Plz give me your opinion
It's a "Galaxy Grey Mica" used on for example an Rx-8 and the new Mazda 6

After winning a sponsor contract from Dotz last July, the Ultralite GT-II's had to go and the new Dotz Mugello's were mounted wednesday (09-23-2009).
About 15 min before closing time, me and a friend were allowed to use the garage for a quick photoshoot.
I hope you like them.

Car is beautiful but I'm not a fan of that wing, just my opinion, everything else is looking good.

The car is gorgeous man, I'm just not a fan of the taillights. Congrats on the sponsorship too.
I really like the color, in fact I almost bought an rx8 in that color, but decided to get another FD instead.

good choice! I almost got one of the light blue rx-8's but then found my fairly built FD for about half the price hahaha

It's been a while since I last posted here, but thnx for all the compliments and comments!
It's great to see you like the colour. And about the wing, some hate it, others love it xD

@ 7 Sins :
Those are Ultralite GT-II's
But I don't know if they are available in the U.S.

To Vince702 (awesome name ) :
Sorry m8, they were sold after 3 days.
