new paint scheme for the 7

at first i was just messin around doin this in PS but i actually think it looks pretty cool. What do you guys think? I actually have a set of yellow fog lights for the front that look just like the AE86 ones.

I've always been a big fan of two tone paint tones. Although, mazda > toyota, so it should be something better than a Tofu delivery hatch :P
Maybe a kobe beef delivery car

Wow, that looks pretty good for the body style (the 2 tone) Try a darker black and a red. The Trueno was also offered in red and you'd have less initial D fanboy and more authentic. I think it'd looks pretty cool.

i think I might paint my fc panda now. Not because of initial D but that looks really cool. I'd want a gloss black for the bottom though.

Id say make the paint line right where the molding is if anything at all...
Still wouldnt prefer it over a solid color...

Post updated pics though

I dont too much dig the 2 tone on the rx7 really. However, it looks good on a 2nd gen Suppy (7MGTE.)
