wow..that was a weird post..yeah the rims are ok..take a little to get used too when looking at them in pics but in person they are not as BLING BLING...would look even more so on a black rx7..i went with these because one day I am getting me a RX8 and these will fit and look good on that too..it is a variation of the stock rx8 rim..5 spoke with a liitle flair

as far as the conversion..NO..they came like that..just like the rest of the world except the US

...i have the RB exhaust..you cant get any more stealthy at cruise than that and still have power..then WOT the car and BAM! A nice exhaust note...flames too!..check out my first link in my sig...finally got it working!!!!

...They're awesome!!!

With the Indigo gauges, no need for GT3! But I hope you won't have to sacrifice your Turbo Vert for RX-8...

BTW: what kind of shocks do people have? Or, am I missing some of the terms...hope not

it will take more than a RX8 for me to give up my vert,,A FD would do it!!!!...i love FD's but a good one is hard to find..then one that does not cost more than it did when it was new is even harder

...nah..the RX8 would be the family car since my wife loves it..we have a 2000 Ford Mondeo station wagon (that would be the equivalent a Contour station wagon)that would gave to go..but the baby is on the way so I dont see that happening any time soon..but the 7 does me just fine...

I have to agree...

TII was my first choice, where the decision was Vert which was bosse's choice. She's also concern about safety (airbag etc...) which brings RX-8 to be our next candidate. It'll be hard to giveup the open feeling of a Vert, but I think this might serve me right...

BTW: EVO's comment about FD is precicely how I feel. +: Achingly beautiful -: Thirsty (with US gas price rising...)

Well- tell my your NOT keeping the PVC intercooler piping??

When that stuff gets warm- it deforms and emmits pretty toxious fumes.

And why the Vmount? Is you hood setup for a V mount?

yeah hood is getting set up for the vmount as well, now the piping that is another story, I was told that it would work just as good but I don't like the way it looks so far, looks really cheap and kind of ghetto but I have faith in them so until the finished product I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. V mount b/c I want to be discreet; for a low key look...
