I promised pics when i got the 7 back, here they are
Here are 3 quick pics of my rx7 after i got it back with my new 99spec front end and full paint job.
The paint job was 2 grand, and the front end was 1000.
They fixed all the dings and i think it turned out wonderful.
Let me know what you guys think

car looks great! What hood is that the fitment actually looks really good. I have never seen an aftermarket fit so well. Adjust your headlight covers up a little they look a tad low in the front. Which skirts are those the stockers?

Looks really good! Nice to see another VR... Couple of questions:
1) I have never heard of an overall paint job for 2 grand, and for it coming out that nice. Did they do all the seams, underneath the hood, etc... or was it just the full exterior? Where did you get it done? I was looking to paint mine fully eventually, and I heard it could go up as much as 7 grand...
2) I love those skirts... where can I get those? Malloy Mazda, since they're stockers? or are they not available anymore?

well apollo paint and body, did the work, they are at braker ln and ih35 north.
the total price was 2300, they painted the outside of the car only because the door jams and such were still in good order, it was just the outside stock paint that was crap. I am happy with the work, they did a good job painting the carbon fiber hood, it took 4 coats to get it perfect.(the cf gel kept spotting through).
Thanks for all the kind words, now the 7 is gonna get its go since i got the show.
