FAVORITE MODIFICATION

"My favorite modification is the OEM Mazda 99 Spec Bumper. I like how it completely transforms the look of the car overall, making it look slightly more aggressive but still has that smile. When you see it you will know what I mean by that. These only came on the later year JDM RX-7s not on the US RX-7s. I like that it is an OEM plus part for the US RX-7 so the fitment is like factory if not better. It follows the body lines of the car really well."
