Paint? No. Truck Bed liner.

prep first with a can of duplicolor adhesion promoter, and follow with one full can of this:



the end result is this:


stuff is textured and looks cool, on top of that it is pretty durable and should hold up to some abuse.

No More Amber

Decided to pull apart the front signals and remove the amber inserts today. Im not a big fan of amber in general, but on a silver car the amber has got to go. I think it makes the signals look much cleaner and more aggressive overall. Now I just need some clear from side markers and ill be good to roll.

Shine Auto Goodies

Got a chance to swing by shine auto a few weeks ago out on ontario, ca. The shop is awesome, huge where house, a bunch of cool FDs and parts. Not to mention Ken the guy running the show down there is a stand up guy. I ended up coming home with the "Street Style" Rear Diffuser and the Low-Pro Spoiler. Pretty stoked to get these painted and on the car!





More pics later of them painted and installed.

Hatch Swap!

After deciding I wanted to rid myself of the stock R1 spoiler and rear windshield wiper, I decided to make a post on RX7club to trade for a base model hatch without them. I got lucky and found a guy who was willing to trade his already silver base hatch for mine, sweet.

Stance GR+ Coilovers

Alright so after a long break, finally a new update. I managed to scrounge up the cash for some decent coilovers. I had a few different options, but the Stances were the best choice for my price range so I went with them. They are the GR+ model, 15 way adjustable dampening, 12k/12k spring rates blah blah blah. In short, they rule and have completely transformed the way the car feels, and drives. The build quality on the coilovers is outstanding, I could not be happier with them. By far the best mod to the car thus far. Here are a couple pictures for the time being, I need to get some REAL pictures taken now that the car is actually presentable.
