Luv the bonnet.

that has to be the sweetest looking non-99 front end FD i\'ve seen. only thing i\'d maybe do different is to fit re-a sleek lights instead of C-West...but that\'s just preference i guess!

interior is especially impressive! love it!

Its a Knightsports nose though, so not really relevant as its not a stock one.

yeah, i just meant that it was the nicest one i\'d seen so far without the 99-spec kind of bumper, including after market parts. for example, the veilside and re-amemiya kits designed for the 92 RX-7. although looking again i\'m not too sure that many driving lights are needed!

still wowed by the interior though. red and black is such a great combo! love the dials and sat nav (?) set-up!

erm...kinda preferred it in black...:rolleyes:

but what a great site! so many beautiful cars! hey where did you get those mats? i\'m guessing they\'re from your car?

also, any more info on the dark blue car on the 3rd page - top line, second car in? thought it was a C-West front bumper at a glance but it\'s not...right? oh and the red seats in the black number at the end of the line, with the scoot (?) cf bonnet? thanks!!

[J4P RX]

Its DRFT which is C-West.  They are supposed to be designed for drifting, so made of a softer material like an original bumper that will flex when it hits things instead of smash to bits like FRP.

As no-one here has one though, who knows lol.

[FDDreamer]

I see. i love this place - just learn more and more every day! wonder what kind of material they use? i was thinking about CF hoods and that problem. surely if the car was involved in an accident the bonnet would shatter everywhere? :confused:

[J4P RX]

Doubt it, unless you seriously went into something.  Mines been rolled, slid up the road upside down and is still in one piece apart from some scratches lol.

If it does brake everywhere, then a standard bonnet would be a big mess anyway.  If it brakes it absorbs impact.  Just dont plan on crashing it.  Aero is so expensive here.

Whoa. Was that the same rex you own now? Hope no-one was hurt...

But you\'re right...I guess an accident big enough to shatter the bonnet would make the bonnet the least of your worries. And you\'re DEFINITELY right about aero parts being pricy here. :rolleyes:

[J4P RX]

Nah my old one - they dont tend to last after doing that.  Bonnet was the only panel that wasnt a mess.

You are right though, if you have one bad enough to makle a mess of everything its not the first thing in your mind so id just go for it.
