I'm getting a set of Eibachs so I thought I'd try cutting the stockers for ***** and giggles...too damn bouncy. Next weekend the new springs will go on so it'll get raised in the front half an inch to 1 inch from where it is now and im gonna get rid of the tow hitch on the rear...I got a VR6 front lip with the car, so the front bumpers coming off getting a fresh coat of flat black when that goes on. And I keep forgetting my memory card in my computer so I keep failing to take pics of the RX7...

you will dig them when its on the car, I still have more in store for it.
I figure for every person who digs it there will be one who does not, lol
now this is what I call weight reduction!
I mean really- whats the matter with us that we take apart perfectly working and operating cars and do this to them?
On a Saturday night no less!

got the jambs done and the top of the hood, got to flip the doors and get rid of the chip guard, then I can put the car back together.
Test fit a coupe light, have to trim some metal but they will work, once I have them fitted I will smoke/clear them. Can you tell by the dust on them that I have had them sitting in my storage at the shop for like 4 years?

One detail one person doesn't like doesn't mean they wont like how the car looks IRL either. A project in progress can only come to fruition from one's intentions, not that of others.
In other words it's like expecting it to be a boy without ever seeing the sonargram...and than ending up with a girl. I prefer to paint all my expectations yellow that way I dont regret making any rash decisions pro or con.

what helps the slots is the thickess of them, makes them look better then just a cut bumper.
I modded and primed the bumper, then on the club in a totally seperate thread someone posted a picture of a
car with the bumper almost identical so seeing the picture made me excited that it will look good when the car goes back together.

have you bolted that front bumper on fully yet? when I fit Kevin's bumper I made the mistake of just hand tightening or holding it in place so when I bolted it on the for the last time and went to tighten everything I found one spot that no longer wanted to participate, glass dont stretch, lol

What spot in particular wasn't working for you?
