not really a fan either. looks a bit too generic for some reason. try to maybe take a higher quality pic or something.

Sorry to say but too light of a blue IMO. A nice glossy dark blue would look wicked I think.....light blue.....nah.....sorry....but it is your car and as long as you like it thats what matters so hope you like it...

That paint job itself looks freakin killer. Now does it go with the car? not really, IMO. Most custom colors/styles do not mate up well with our cars, for some reason. One thing that does set them off is a nice silver or pearl white.

Man, you musta dropped a dime on that bad boy. Me, I cant even find anyone to spray my 90 convertible back stock blaze red for less than $1600...

Get a pic that is not just the bright sun reflecting off of the car. I cannot decided if I like it or not.

It's pretty cool but looks a little too ethnic for an RX-7 IMO. But that is my picky *** opinion, it does look a little bit plain, not your fault.... it's the body of the car....form over function, they don't have a lot of ground effects or anything so sometimes a custom job overpowers the looks of the car.

BUT, you have the only one, it came out pretty good, only cost you $60, and if you like it that is the only opinion that matters. And this opinion is coming from a guy who used to have a widebody Conquest TSI that I wanted to paint yellow......sooo. take it with a grain of salt.

"ethnic" - the perfect politically correct description. I agree . . . just need some 100 spoke 14's now.
