Thumbs up New 2000 FD Owner Japan

I got my first FD......after so many years of wanting one.

I am in the military and stationed in Japan......and hoping I can take it with me when I leave.........but its not looking too promising!

It has quite a few mods on it, which I wish it was all stock.....but oh well.

2000 Mazda RX7 RB S Package, Innocent Blue.

I just want to replace the lip on it, the headlights to a non mototized type, and the muffler back to OEM type.

I welcome any all all suggestions.

Actually.............these are the rims that were on it when I bought it. I had no idea these are the older rims.

My guess is the previous took off his premium rims and put these on to sell this car.
