Yeah, thats good for a do it yourself job. I like the line on the sides.. its all like late 80's early 90's sports car-ish...haha--
But I think the front and rear bumpers could use some highlights.. like some red details or something. Or make them red with black details... I dunno, not a fan of the whole different color bumpers/sideskirts thing. The black roof looks good though with the red body! |

Not my thing either. But it's nice to see people being original. Might wanna get some wiper blades too.

if the rims had a red lip then it would totally go with the car.
SO shinny! |

well thanks to you all for the comliments and opinions and also ya gotta give me some credit on the windshield wiper deal i have to get it inspencted tomarrow so i took the old ones off and had to put new ones on. And yeah i wanted to use the blitz in a different way then others, for a show car you have to be unique so i tried to make it as unique as i could. i still have to wet sand he car and buff it to make the clear smooth but it sure will look nice come the 30th, my first show. And to those who asked about showing my car im already there, it is a show car but at the same time my daily driver......and i hope to make it to the pitt meet.

it looks good overall. after that wet sand and waxing, it'll really shine. I'm not really feeling the hood painting you did, but other than that it's cool. New Oxford isn't really far from me, looked at an rx7 at a car dealership one time up there. But awesome on the DIY. Like I said it flows pretty well other than the dragon IMO.
EDIT: I really like the 2 tone w/ the roof, that's JDM yo. You wanna paint my car?? ![]() This post has been edited by Mr2_Joel: Apr 24, 2005 - 7:42 PM -------------------- White 93 Mr2 Turbo

You know, I do like it actually. I don't like the wing but other than it's pretty slick. Needs lowered obviously, I really like the two tone part of the hatch on back, that looks great. Nice job really.

not bad
but personally I would not have painted the whole front in black. just the part that sticks out and slopes up toward the wheel well. then I would have added some carbon canards along it. also would of nixed the dragon, front grill, wing, and stripe across the side. finally some bigger rims, and coilovers/bags but really, a pretty decent job. definetly not my style but I know you put a lot of work in it, so props to you also any pictures from the rear? wondering whats doing back there |

Very original. Although its not my style, I think it looks very good. If the skirts and bumper were red, I think it would be amazing.
