Very nice work. Looks feminine and very Nissan, though. I like it, but I wouldn't own it.

Arguing about body kits versus stock...wing-or-no-wing versus functionality is a waste of time. Kind of like trying to pick somebody else a girlfriend. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Period.

Alot of things that are on vehicles are purely aesthetic. I'm not a big fan of wings either; however, I am a huge fan of personality. Every car I modify and every car that I see modified, makes me smile. It shows the owners individuality. I'm glad that my car doesn't look like anyone elses. I'm sure the owner of that car feels the same way.

Yea, unless it's a ricer with a 5 ft. wing. I doubt there's much individuality in that.

The front end is okay, the rear 1/2 of the car and the paint is hideous.

This car is not hated. It's pretty sharp. It's the nicest Supra that I've seen in quite a while.

The rest of the body looks nice, but why not just buy a 944 - they are cheap enough now. Somebody put a huge amount of labor into that body. I would know, I have been there, done that.

As for keeping the look of the 80s in the RX-7, I went the other way, trying for the 60s Italian look, with chrome bumpers, etc. And it is all Mazda parts. Some of you may have seen my red convertible, shown on the third page of this site:

With respects to your friends, I must disagree. At a speed as low as 90 mph or 85 mph a wing or spoiler can have noticeable effect (and still a lower, more subtle). This should not be of dispute. When designing the rear wing or spoiler one must also attend to the front, lest more downforce become generated in the rear and the front becoming relatively lighter. Adding body parts at whim could be counter-productive. Seeing only the single picture of the wing in question, I think it should be larger and further aft on the car for better function. For explanation refer to Race Car Aerodynamics by Joseph Katz, Ph.D Bentley Publishers Cambridge, MA ISBN: 0-8376-0142-8. He has experience with RX-7.

Stilettoman, both your 60s look with chrome bumpers and the 80's look purple car look good to me, in their personal appeal.
