I'd like to see something that just grafted the headlights on, and spared me the hood and fender shapes that are too busy for the rest of the FD.... not bad tho.

On the other hand ! Why not take an 8, stick a turbo in, and add a '99 FD Tail Section... you'd get the front end, and suicicde doors

go look under your hood, and behind your dash and see how much stuff is made by mitsubishi. it may suprise you.

If I ever saw that, I'd commit suicide.

I wonder if they call them RX-7.5's.

I just noticed that too. I believe the solonoids, among other things are Mitsu.

All Japenese cars have Mitsu parts, and Hitachi too, they are all in bed together, they teamed up and beat Detroit with that strategy years ago.

what does looks got to do with speed ???

"or even better yet" what problems did the rx8 have with regards to the front bumper??? .

Rx8 is not faster the the rx7 , I know becasue i've had one. But i'm still confused on what that has to do with the front bumper? Do you have any modifictions done to your car ?

I'm pretty sure that if you do ... you have the same parts as someone else on a different model car, wouldn't that be the same thing???

pls clarify ....
