Quote from: D2BBA;579740I think smooth is the way to go with your current level of styling, or even a low-level RX7 specific wing.

If you go down the large rear wing route make sure its a quality, non universal part, or itll ruin the styling.

Just my 2p :)

But would you stay wingless with a scoot style bonnet on the car?

Quote from: SleepyDude;579980Well Im thinking now keep the wing off as i think the standard wing is dated and gt wings look a little chavey unless they have a real working purpose.

I really do need a diffuser though as in not as stable as i would like top end, let me know if any for sale.

The car is getting the scoot bonnet for sure and some skirts, not sure what skirts though? What ones are on your cars pics Dr-Rotor they look nice!

is there anyone with the scoot style bonnet and wingless?

Cheers guys

My side skirts are RE-Amemiya AD9 i think they were called. Probly not the same as todays AD9 style though cos these ones are not made anymore. The rear caps are a match to the sides. I like diffusers but I dont need one....would be a little over kill with all the body mods I have, so less is more.

When I chose the kit for my car I wanted something smooth to keep the water flowing over rocks effect. My idea was to create an RX7 that looked like a pumped up version from mazda. Like a special edition or something.

I have a friend that has a setup like that...Looks nice. Alot of my friends have no wing on their cars. In fact there are alot of FD\'s in NZ that have no wings. If they do have a wing it normaly stock or something that fits the kit.

Wingless looks quite cool, especially on a white or black car, in my humble opinion...now for the contentious part.....

leave it out with the Scoot (copy) bonnet, it\'s been done to death. Everyone and their Max Power-reading dog have a Scoot-alike bonnet nowadays :Giggle. Do something else.

HAHAHAHA.....no need to duck and hide. Everyone has different taste. I look at it this way. When veryone has a stock car, they all look the same but some have personal little touches. When alot of cars have the same bonnet it dose not bother me because the rest of the body mods are completely different. This is the reason why I had my Feed bumper modified to my needs instead of just putting it on. I had the main intake inlarged and the side vents molded closed to match the skirts.

Have you seen the FEED bonnet! Gonna be expensive mind, but would look nice with or without a rear wing!

Heres a good shot that shows how the skirts seem to make the car look wider and more agressive yet still smooth. Sorry I hi-jaked your thread. I wont post anymore pics.

its not mine, but I have the only rear spoiler in the country in my garage lol

As for the FD I would think that a small suble curved wing would be best, something like this:



Just so that is flows with the lines of the car :)

Or this:

Hey Gary this ones just for you buddy, I noticed your signature says FEED me!, so you must be a huge fan. I know my car is not all FEED but this is what I used to have on it for a little while, you may like it you may not.

Haha...bloody good effort. Good man.

As for the wings you posted, Yea I agree. Those are nice wings. The Veilside fortune style isent bad either if it came in a smaller version to fit the stock arches.
