"My favorite modifications will be my paint job and my seats even though I can't see over my steering wheel (haha)! I love the paint because it looks black but when the light or sun hits it you see that emerald green it's like a surprise. I love my seats because it remind me of my childhood like the cups they would have back then or for the floor of the movie theaters."

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."
