interesting - I am trying to look past the hideous paint job to see if I like it, and to see how fitment is.

aside from the ugly paint job, that actually looks pretty cool . takes away the dated flip up lights of the 7.

either the front lip or ms kit. But i have to admit, it doesn't look half bad... but i still like the 99spec front end on the 7 than that. Kudos to the guy that did that though, very creative and i give it two thumbs up.

edit: on another note, that does look chopped as well, especially the 2nd pic.

It looks very well put together, and well thought out. But I really don't like it. The paint job doesn't help, either.

aside from the ridiculous paint job, it looks dope.
But whats up with the front hood, it cuts right in with the head lamp housing??

reminds me of the original bat mobile

It makes the car look too long.. There's something else too, he added the front fender vents to the car as well..
I also agree the paint is terrible..

I dont think i like it at all. and yet i cant stop looking at it..

any artifacts in the pics that make you think "photochop" are from my adjusting the originals to be able to post them here. as i stated these are not chops but a real car- i wouldnt have siad so if it wasnt true.

looks good, but the front fenders don't visually match the rx7's rear fenders, i bet with a solid paint job it stick out.

Yep! Seen it before here on the forum. I think they were all indoor shots though. Just can't find 'em.
