So any suggestions on nice mods? I\'m adding a diffuser and thinking about adding some side skirts that will look blended in with the car. My last thread was about whether i should add the scoot style bonnet but i have seen so many guys opt for this and worried that it will take away from the cars lines?
Let me know what you guys think (sorry for poor image quality not sure what image host is best?)
SD
The scoot bonnet is one of the best, but then i would say that :p
If you dont want to chnage the lines of the car to much then some FEED side skirts would be nice :D
Adam
Looks great with the 99spec bumper mate !!
I would ditch the rear lights and get some normal ones mate. Or perhaps get the normal centre as that tones them down a bit. Miguel (Newera) had a set and with the standard middle lights it looked pretty good.
Yeah as Adam says you can go for Feed ones that are subtle, they look nice on a red car.
I like the wheels.

Cheers, the wheels are Axe alloys that i had a custom paint job done on. They shine silver in the sunlight and have a gun metal shine in normal light, look great, def one of my cars best points lol
very nice mate not too keen on the rear lights though
i\'m with the others, ditch the rear lights, set of feed side skirts and an re-amemiya street diffuser or pro diffuser and you have a got a winner there! will look pretty sweet.......
not sure on the scoot bonnet on a relatively stock car imo....would look a bit out of place....maybe a feed bonnet would look good?
Cheers for all the feed back, thought i would show you the inside as i have had this done up with new paint job and custom dials with high impact l.e.d backlights.

My aim is not to destroy the RX7 just do a few touches here and there on the bits that are looking a bit dated. I think I\'m on the right track but as for rear lights haven\'t seen any that i like. Any people would suggest?
Love the wheels and front bumper.... never been a fan of those rear lights but apart from that great. Feed sideskirts look good in carbon on red.
selling up?
Nice car, did you know that the Hampshire Jap Car club regularly meet around and near your area. There are quite a few RX7 owners including myself who regularly meet so come along some time they\'re a nice bunch of guys and love rex\'s
Quote from: gyles18;603931selling up?
Well im getting married in a few weeks and thought maybe I should get a sensible car. I am really not wanting to part with my pride and joy so unless i get a good offer for it i will be very happy to keep it.
How did you know it was for sale? Only put on piston heads last night lol

I have owned my car for over a year and didn\'t know there where any meets near me lol
I would love to come along, when do you normally meet? Is there a site or forum for the Hampshire Jap Car club?
Cheers buddy
Selling up just cos you\'re getting married!!?!?!?!!!
Ditch the new wife mate, if those are the terms :D
Great looking clean fd! I like the rear lights, but would replace the centre piece for the original.
Love the double din screen inside!
If you type in Hampshire Jap car club you\'ll get it, introduce yourself and don\'t forget pictures of your car are compulsory, there was a good meet at Portsdown Hill the other week with quite a big turn out so if you join (like here its free as a guest) you\'ll get to know about meets there are about 3 of us with RX7\'s
LOL Actually she loves car, she even named it! she doesn\'t want me to sell it, but the car is costing me a fortune and its 2 seats ain\'t practical.
I don\'t think I will sell, I mean the cars at haywards now getting work done on it lol.
I\'m not convinced by the lights myself but really there isn\'t much choice. And standard ones are boring lol
put some 99 spec rears on it, them lights are ruining it... or tint them heavily...
oh what headunit is that ?
Don\'t sell it just cos you\'re getting hitched, that\'s mad! You\'ll always regret it. Mine\'s survived marriage and having a kid, anything\'s possible!
Is that the RX-8 and CX-7 badge combo?
Yeah mines survived buying a new house and moving in with my girlfriend.....just ;-)
very nice some like the interior and the paint work looks good ,seen this on the selling site thought you might have been asking a little more than what you put her up for,lovely car, can\'t you just live together and keep both she\':drivings
Where did you get the dials they do look nice!
Quote from: FDAsh;604129Is that the RX-8 and CX-7 badge combo?
Yes lol I thought it would update the look.
What do you think, winner or a miss??????

Yes I wanted to put her up for more but lets face it times are hard and ppl just won\'t pay to much. I have spent far more that on her during my time with her.
Quote from: David Wiltshire;604165Where did you get the dials they do look nice!
Ahh i love my dials! They are silver and match the internal paintjob. I also wanted it to look more modern so there is a new L.E.D setup. Looks amazing at night, such strong red, really modern.
I used a company called black cat customs http://www.blackcatcustom.com/

Something i thought i would ask would you swap my car for a
BMW 320td M-Sport 53 reg ?
Slightly more practical @ 50mpg and a little sporty @ 150bhp but would i regret swapping my REX for it???????
What would you do?
Here is a pic of the car i am looking at:
