nice project! seems were doing some similar mods to our cars. youve been fitting the 3 piece taillights and ive been removing and refinishing that same prior job, i removed the 3 piece spoiler and filled all the holes (the prior owner molded parts of the spoiler to the body) so i had to fill all those holes too. anyways, i just recently lined up my new bumper, installed the support bracket for it. now i think ill be needing a new intercooler (since it'll be exposed now) ill be painting her a charcoal gray metallic, with black features and carbon fiber thrown in. ill post a few pics.

Way to ruin a good pair of 89+ tails.

Did you paint the windows???

Looks good. The only color I like better on a MKIII is gunmetal.

Umm... no. JDM lenses are just a cherry red, they're not smoked or blackened. That car has an actual aftermarket COVER... but yes, the underlying lenses are tinted. And I merely think it's a waste.

There's a guy around here who painted his windows with black spray paint... tail lights, head lights and fog lights as well. He painted the side windows and all the lights with LOTS of (crooked) thin lines of black so some light could still get though .

It's a black RX7.

BTW, you mean they're, not there. They're (they are) not over there( a place); They're in their (they possessive) car.
