Pictures of VR 8 and BB R2 FD
Finally got time and a better camera, so I snapped off a few shots of my babies. As I got ready to take the pictures I realized I had no idea of what angles to take the pictures, so please fire away and let me know which ones you like and dislike. Also I know the background sucks but thats all I had at the time.

Very nice pics. I like that 2nd post, last pic and 3rd post, third pic of the 8 and the 7 facing each other. Lose that license plate off the 8 and take more of those. 
You got two sexy rides by the way.

Ive got more pics of both cars but half way through resizing them I remembered all the times people have shown me pictures of their kids and I didn't want to see them. People tend to go on and on about things they love/proud of (can't blame them). MY point? I didn't want to overload people on the pictures.
Thanks for the compliments NgoRX8.

So lovely. I still want to drive an RX-7, just for the fun of it. But I love those pictures. I also love the one of the two cars facing each other. Great stuff dude, you're one lucky one.

The paint on that FD looks to be in very good shape. Great reflection. My favorite is the one looking over the sideview mirror of the FD and seeing the 8 in focus. Nice shot.
Has Texas always required front plates. It has been 12 years since I lived there, and can't remember. Hate those front plates. Glad we don't have them here in Georgia.

When is someone going to produce a different plastic rock guard underpan for the RX8 than is designed like the FD's? That would be a simple bolt on replacement that would give us a little lower lip spoiler.

L8APEX- The car was repainted about a year ago. A big plus when I was looking to buy. As long as I can remember they have required front plates. I dislike them also. The 8 has one just because it had a bracket and the 7 doesn't. There is no way in hell Im drilling holes to mount a ugly plate on my 7. Ill just pay the ticket when I get one.
Both cars were claybarred and polished with Rejex. Great stuff. Just to show how well it lasts, the 8 was done about 1 month before I took the pics, the 7 the day before. I quickly washed both before the photos. Rejex also beads water very well, looks very cool actually.
Glyphon- Im still not used to looking back and being able to touch my rear shocks with ease. The 8 is bigger for sure but hides the rear seats and trunk well, IMO.
Nemesis8- I don't think it would be that simple. I haven't looked real close but imagine it would not be just a bolt on thing for the 8. Doesn't the Mazdaspeed front have a lower lip like your talking about? I think that's as close to bolt on as you can get.
Umbra- That dip in the middle is supposed to be there, plus the roof is strong it can take it lol. BTW those particular blocks are twice the weight of a regular block. I hate them
Thanks for the compliments guys, it is appreciated.

Is this close to what I was looking for I wonder? Anyone have the LEG Motorsports front lip?
