coldel Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 OK so I am referring to the majority I see with the standard bumper on not the 99 spec one as per the picture. Personally I would not leave the RX7 looking like the red one above and look to add something like the 99 spec one, wheels, lowered, spoiler (so in effect half a body kit and wheels and stance) it looks day and night better.

Jetpilot Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Pre99 can look awesome std too, as you say, lowered with some decent alloys and an oem front lip. They actually look better without a spoiler, but the one i had suited the car, but it was Mazdaspeed, so no real different to Nismo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Front looks too MX5 Mk1 for my liking, no bad thing but prefer it more on the MX5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeorgeW Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) Trouble I have with most (but not all) bodykits is that they're invariably applied to pretty cars anyway. Something like the RX7 or the NSX is just absolutely perfect from an aesthetic viewpoint, and anything else you do to it just kills it. It's like putting a bikini on the Mona Lisa. A 350Z can be helped by new bumpers in some cases, like the Chargespeed stuff which is especially lovely. Anything that adds big angles or bulbous bodywork just doesn't suit the design well. All IMHO, as usual. I agree with you there actually, I would put the R34GTR in that catagory aswell, I think the looks are perfect. and if its in bayside blue, then no point changing that either too be honest! same as its been said above, the GTT is just a bit lame.. Though I'm all for rocket bunny and Liberty walk stuff, on the right cars Edited January 27, 2016 by GeorgeW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Bang on with the R34 GT-R, another great looking car as stock. I quite like the MkIV Supra too, I must admit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Yep GTR R34 is one of my favourite shapes in standard form, GTT is shocking, understand how they had to differentiate but really by quite that much. RX7 at minimum needs that front bumper or aftermarket for sure. I am still umming and urring about my own GT4 front, it kind of works but I do sometimes hanker for a flatter front...
