Got the FD back from getting painted.

My FD got hit in November and since then I've been doing alot of work on her and yesterday the body work and paint was finally completed. I got Shines CF FEED replica sides and CF canards for the front bumper that arent installed yet because of the rain but I'm probably gonna get them on this weekend. I still need rims and a FEED or 99 wing badly, those should come pretty soon but for now its still looking good. I'll update the pics when the sides and canards go on. Sorry for the picture quality, these were taken on my iPhone, but a professional shoot is coming soon.







Thanks for checking the pics out.

Nice man. I can't wait to get mine back from the paint shop as well. What paint code? What color is that?

Thanks for the comments everyone. The color is Innocent Blue Mica that I told the shop to make alittle darker and shinier.

If the turn signals where black it would look much better. The chrome ones look like cheap altezas you would find on a civic.

Yeah I know, they were supposed to be more smoked more than they actually are. I originally got them instead of black because I thought they'd go better with the CF sides and canards being smoked but it didnt work out that way. I'm working on getting a set of black ones as we speak.

I really want the 5Zigen ZR+520s 18x9.5 all around so that I can have the deep concave on all wheels. I just dont really like the colors they come in, I'd probably have them powdercoated black.

If not the 5Zigens I'll probably go with Work Emotion Kais or Enkei RPF1s in black.

Nice color, I have a friend with the same color FD. It really looks so much better in person than in pics.. Then again what doesn't?

Some sweet rims and the side skirt would really set it off. I'd go with the 99 spec spoiler, I had the feed wing before but decided i rather have the 99 spec wing. THe feed just sat a bit too high for my liking.

The car is slammed to the floor. Its always the lowest RX-7 at all the local meets, any lower than that and I would seriously never be able to drive it around NYC. I already scrape over everything so lower is a no go. But like I said I'm looking at getting 5Zigen ZR+520s 18x9.5 all around by late April or early May.

Got a better pic of the car from March 15th, someone else took it with a better camera than my iPhone pics were taken with. You get a better look at the actual color in this pic.



Still gonna take better pics when I get the CF goodies on it.

I also have the same problem with mine being lowered. Im going to go from GC coilovers to full stock suspension setup soon. I still worry about having a 99 spec bumper to. Sometimes I see spots in NJ where regular cars scrape when going from a decline to straight and level road.
