Its weird you posted today actually, I was just reading your post from a while ago where you modified that stock front end for your fmic. It looks great. I just got my 99 front from Jason on friday. How hard was it to install?

Several things to say:
1. Nice
2. Great shots, any and every car has weird angles. You chose 2 beautiful ones for the FD.
3. Khumo Ecsta MX's? How do you like them? I might be getting those for my next set of street tires...
4. The JDM front end should work like a "Re-call" for us USDM Mazda Rx7 owners. It just beautifies the front end so much, and may save some FD's from horrific body kits.
5. Might I suggest OEM Mudguards for that extra "thickness" image?
6. NICE

I bought my car and the owner gave me the set of mudguards. I drove my car for a while without em, and then finally put them on. I think it does enough to the looks of the car to try and get some and put them on. Much better than a sideskirt that looks like a slug that's tack'd onto your car :P (unless you mold it in I suppose) And any rear valence doesn't flow right IMO.
