Re: Final Greddy RX-7

Wow! That's an RX-7? Kind of hard to tell from the front with those headlamps. Very cool, except for the headlamps... which I think detract from the smooth, sexxy lines the RX-7's got. And are you sure that's a race car, and not a show car?

Actually, I don't know if its a race car or not.I presumed it was because some of the others are.I'm not a fan of the headlights either,still looks pretty cool though.

Re: Final Greddy RX-7

That headlight conversion seems to be popular along with the recessed front fenders. I've always liked the look. Aren't those Porsche headlamps?

Sorry to be a Trainspotter man, but that's the REamemiya RX7, not the GReddy RX7

Doesn't look tht great IMO. Looks more to me like a re-amemiya porsche, if there is such a thing, than an Rx-7. The body doesn't resemble anything of an Rx-7.

Actually those look like C5 Corvette tail lights to me Don't mind the front so much but they should have kept the rear tails.....BTW think you've got the wrong forum
