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

Looks like you drove through Halfords Mark.

MarkRiccioni said...

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.

Jord said...

I'm kidding dude because I saw your status, looks like a weapon.

Jules, Alex, Jord, Mark, I don't care, these wheels must go on an OP car!

quail im desperately trying to find the money for them!!

would go awesome with my 10j lenso's.

im at the bank later to get some house moving money so may try for a bit extra too ;-)

FD looks hot mark - how much is the satin vinyl? was going to spray mine satin but the vinyl looks a better finish!

Quail said...

Do it Ben! Jord only wants a pair, so if you go halfs with him it should work out nicely :D

Ben said...

Ben said...

Quail said...

Thats a shame Ben :(. Looks like the wheels have stayed in OP regardless. I'll let you the new owner chime in! *JEALOUS*

Ben said...

Jord said...

Aaah yes but AME have just come back to me with an amazing price on a set of AME Tracer FS-01 in Gloss Black, 18x9+25[F] 18x10+25[R] which I'm finding hard to resist! Dunno what to do, I need another car with stock fenders dammit.
