This car actually looks good in person~~~
I saw one and its seriously amazing~~ I think the company has well thought out the design of the flow on the lines and made a break through once again with their products.
I am a car designer and from my point of view its pretty damn good.
Starts to look like a real exotic sports luxury~~~~ hehehehe. We always say things like that.... hehehehe.

It's not about buying another car. It's not about having a RX-7 that looks like every other RX-7. It's about have a unique looking car that is attractive. Imagine how much a car that looks like this would cost if a auto manufacturer produced it? Well into the six-figures. You can make an RX-7 super car fast or faster, and with this kit and a good paint job look exotic for 1/4-1/3 the cost of a new supercar.

And for the several times I heard it would look better in one color, I saw mine in all red and like the red/black better. These pictures are when it was still a work in progress and still had my old Volk GTC-Face C wheels but you get the idea:

When I first saw this kit (online), I thought it was the ugliest VS kit. But after going to seven stock and seeing it person, it actually looks good (IMO).

Local universities have courses entitled "English Composition". I would suggest that you investigate.

The Veilside fortune Rx7 won best overall car in the 2005 Tokyo Autosalon, winning such a title in the biggest car show in the world means they must have done something right =) , take the time to consider that everyone has different taste, if this car won such an award and you think it looks like ****... maybe the kits that you think look nice infact look like **** to the majority =)

Some real numbers on the millions of pounds some people are under the misconception that this kit adds to the car. I put mine on a scale after the work. Base 94 R2 is 2,800 lbs (mine before the conversion). A touring model with 5 speed has a curb weight of 2862 lbs. My car now weighs 2970 lbs. I also added dual amps 12 lbs each, three 10" subs at 15lbs each, two 6x9" speakers 7 lbs each, Roll Cage at 52 lbs, and custom box for the rear speakers 24lbs. Backing out the above listed equipment, the car weighs in at 2834 lbs. The Veilside Fortune kit with the wider wheels needed for the kit adds 34lbs to my curb weight, the rest of the weight, I added with my sound system, and roll cage.

FortuneRx7: Nice one, not a bad color choice if you're going all one color. I'm on the road with mine at least once a week. You get the same thing when you drive yours with people stopping to take pictures of it wherever you are?

Thank you, I like the colors I choose. Yeah it is an old thread, but now we are seeing actual cars from forum members, not the ones from Veilside.

FortuneRx7: Looking forward to seeing yours in August. Looks like we are going to have 3 Fortune Rx7's there.
