Body scheme

I like to keep my rx-7's body stock looking, except for TASTEFUL wheels, and neons, so when i roll up to a stop sign the a@@hole in the Camaro, or anything else, thinks i have a stock rx but little does he know what hides under the hood. What do you'all think?

And Except for stickers like STP, K & N, etc. Stickers are the ****!

No stickers...

Neons are alright, but I think personally you need side skirts to make it look right...

Wheels, yes, definately

Underbody neons can look okay if tucked between the C-channels (those vestigal frame rails under the floor)

Neon under the dash, etc. is just for show coars; on the street it can turn your windshield into one big rearview mirror and cause an accident

I guess I'm just an old fart (31) but I have never seen tasteful neons. Lose the neons but go with the rims. Here are my favorite ones, these just look like a stock wheels but still aggressive:

Definitely keep the stickers off. Again just my opinion.

I the long run do what you think looks best, after all it's yours, let it be representation of your personality.

hey rotary love: got any more pics of that yellow 7? looks awesome.
Neons look ok if you only have like two tubes, one per side, hidden real well.
Stickers tend to clutter and ruin a cars clean looking appearance.

I think a mild kit is necessary to make neons look nice. It's tacky if the lights are visible from any angle. As for stickers, just do the race car sticker thing: real small ones that go behind the front wheels and in front of the door, beneath the trim.

See... if you do one thing to a rex that looks similar to "rice" you might as well do it all...

Bodykits, huge rims, big ugly 10ft aluminum spoilers stacked, ghetto unrelated stickers..... fake ram air...


yada yada yada


Hey, I think the wheels on the yellow car, is of Pittdp's car here on the forum...

Anyways, Peace
