Hey you guys I'm new to this forum but I'm a regular over at RX7club.com.



Anyways I wanted to share my pics of my freshly painted FD. It sports a 99 style buumper and I've molded in a set of apex side skirts as well as my rear bumper. I wanted to keep the car as clean lookin as possible but with a little something to it as well. Thats where ther black and blue color scheme comes from. I couldnt decide whether the car shoudl be black or blue so I decided to do both I personally love how the blue contrasts the black but at the same time simply high lights the beauty of the cobalt blue on there. The car was painted at My shop. Creative Auto body Were located in milwaukee wisconsin. If any of you feel the need to respary this winter and are in the area check out this link.

starsky and hutch...really? Eeeeehhh kinda, but no where near as nasty in my opinion, and it does a fairly good job of just blending with the door don't you think?

nice shade of blue. would definately look fancy with oakley straight jacket with blue flames (accessories make the world go round ) and a blue ipod



Not so sure about the black striping. It does blend in with the general shape of the car, but I think that it would look better if some silver was mxed in in the middle of that black. Gives this ind of fancy shadowy lines which I personally like although something might be said again for the clean look it has now.

Actually the black stripe has a metalic in itand i painted the black stripe with Kandy as well so when light hits the black it shines back with all this really dark blue. Thanks for the comments.

It reminds me of the "hockey stick" swoosh they used to put on muscle cars.
