Shots of my 1983 RX-7

My buddy's got a pretty good camra & tripod set up, so he took me out to a parking garage & heres some of the shots- more to come but these are thus far what he's gone thru in photoshop to clean up the lighting. Check back & there should be more pictures soon.

Thanks man!! I actually bought the car with these wheels. I have seen anywhere from $200-$500+ depending on the shape that the wheels are in and tire combo, etc.

Nice man, stock color ? wheels look good and polished
I bought a fully straight set of le wheels for $250, shipped I think. Just really depends on who is selling them and when. Very rare wheels.


here are are my 2 clean fb's



Rotarybeat, I don't know much about iso, could you give me a basic overview of how to tune that for different lighting and such

You should get Angel to post some pics, then you'd have the best of both sides of the bay.

notveryhappyjack -- how long did it take you to polish the wheel lips? theres no way those are that shiny stock. the guy ended up selling the car & keeping the wheels. If i do get my hands on a set, I'm gonna paint the mesh section bronze & polish the lip, but only if the clearcoat is in bad shape. no sense tearing up a perfectly good wheel. your cars look nice though man!

i wet sanded each wheels lip until the factory dull alloy color was off.

then I got some mothers mag/aluminum polish I hit each wheel 40 plus times to give it the shine

I would say two weeks of work to get the wheels that shinny.

here is a shot of the stock vs many hours of sanding/polishing

Thanks guys!! A lot of sweat, blood, and tears have gone into this car...a lot. Not to mention money, lol. I got the air dam from Black Dragon Automotive, here's a link to their website. If I remember correctly it is about $250.

I had the body shop cut the fog light holes out so it wouldn't block air coming into my brake ducts...I think it looks better also
