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 CF FEED 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.

What front bumper is that? Is it the Burnout bumper? I've been shopping FDs a lot lately and that's one of the better bumpers I've seen. I like the style of the turn signals.

Very nice and clean! I LOVE IT :love:

You drive that thing in the winter?!


What color is that - I've been thinking about painting my MX3 blue over the summer as it needs paint - I really like that color. I have found 2 colors previously that I have really liked - the Daytona Blue on 350z's, and the color that Franko has on his MX3. If I don't go blue, I will be sticking w/ a regular gloss black.

Can we switch cars? :mrgreen:

Thats the FEED Type II R bumper thats used on the Fujita touge cars. I wanted to get the front and rear fenders to go with it but the cars a DD and I dont got rims. With 25mm wider fenders it'd look too crazy without 11" wide rims and thats not in the budget haha. Go on YouTube and look up the FEED touge cars on Best Motoring and you'll see the whole kit with wide fenders.

The color is Innocent Blue Mica from the '99 RX-7, its alittle darker in person than in the pics but the camera sucks so its looks almost like RX-8 Winning Blue. And yes I drive it in the winter as long as its not raining alot or snowing at all.

Thanks for the nice comments.

:lol: Thanks man, I really love the color now. I bought the car in Montego only because I got a great deal on it but now that the color is different I'm so much happier with the car. I'm gonna post more pics soon when I get my other pieces on. Its still cold outside so its gonna have to wait until tomorrow or Saturday.

:evil: I knew I was gonna get that haha, thats OEM blue so it cant be rice. :lol: The bumpers still got the accessories to go on but I like it better overall than the 99 bumper. Too many people have 99 bumpers so I wanted something different that still kept the lines of the car. I'm thinking of getting another stock bumper also with a 99 lip to use on regular days and use the FEED bumper for the track duty that its built for.

Love it, I have to say I am partial to the Montego Blue color but it looks great the way you have done it!

You'll get some leg with that car for sure. Maybe I need to look into this whole RX7 thing, I likes what I sees. How do you keep your car from getting jacked?
