RX-7 Update: first coat of Titanium Gray Metallic

Without sunlight, looks just gray. With sunlight... its a multicolor party

Pictures do not capture how cool this colour is, and trust me, I tried

The wheels are factory optional rotor shaped wheels (they look great with the center cap on)

The paint brand is AUTOCOLOR, and the colour code is 25g (Titanium gray metallic)

The electric sunroof will be the coolest feature, because its from an MX3 and it runs on the outside just like the FC one

Im trying really hard to get an FD engine

Thanks for the compliments guys

Very nice job. I like your selections, we think alike. With that color and the FD engine it should turn out something like this.

Wow, thanks. My inspiration for the FD engine was Directfreak, although I think he has an RE engine. This forum has had a huge impact on the way my car has turned out.

I did mine a month ago.

I shaved the key holes and emblems while I was at it.
