Okishima FD3S makeover

It's been a busy few weeks sorting the RX7 out, but the styling's just about there... for now anyways. The biggest change is the satin paintwork which is actually a vinyl wrap - really impressed with the finish, time and cost, much cheaper than a respray and takes just a day to apply. Anyways, enough of the rambling, here's a few latest pics:

    The vinyl looks a lot better than most matt/satin paintjobs I've seen!

    These need to go on your FD. Im sure you could sell the GTRs no problem if they dont want to Part-Ex

    Haha Jord, i'd just put my FB status about Halfords comments on an Autotrader news piece then seen your comment dang nabbit...

    Have faith, once the wheels are done and the other bits bolted up should be, well, even more retarded haha.
