I have to admit it's not my style, but very nice work and dedication. I can appreciate hard work and craftsmanship when I see it. :)

Impressive!!

Very nice FG work. Definitely clean and workmanship looks top notch!

A lot of hard work. Not my style but more power to you.

Eww. as everyone said, nice quality of work, but you have bad taste, or at least a lack of it.


I dunno, there are people who manage to pull of stuff like that, and even through I'd never do that myself, i still think, wow this is amazing. With this stuff, all I can think of is that it looks like shit. Now, before you think of me as an ass, I'm just giving constructibe criticism to help evolve your sense of style, and give you a non biased opinion. I have a very good eye for design, and have a feel for what works and what does not.

The breakdown:

Those seats are cheap knock offs and look terrible, their form does not match to the rest of the car, but compared to some of the other stuff, they are ok.

The steering wheel is terrible, I dont even know where you found it. What was wrong with the stock steering wheel on the car? For an oldschool car like the RX-7, you need to pick a part that fits the theme, like this for example:

Shift knob: again, cheap ass autozone shit. Reminds me of a dildo i saw in some porno movie. Shift knobs usually look the best when they are the simplest.

Here's an example of a nice simple design:

Next, the whole two tone interior. You see this quite often when people try to make their interior look "cool" I understand what you were tyring to do, but a two tone interior needs to compliment itself. The two colors must flow together instead of clashing with each other. Red is also rarely used so much when it is combined with black, anyway.

If you want to make a red/black combo work, here's some ideas:

keep trim pieces black, dont paint them so they stick out.
Use red as an accent color
Red carpet and door panel cloth areas, black main dash and fiberglass door areas. If possible, also get some Sparco's in two tone black/red.

Door panels:

As i already said, the doors need a two tone if you decide to keep the red.
The speaker position looks awkward, and the "box" area around them is choppy, and too big/heavy for what is needs to be. I would at least repaint the FG area black, and keep the red cloth inserts in there.

Here's an example of how good FG speaker surrounds could look: (look at how much smaller and nicer they are!)

Last, the sub box is awkward. It's nice to see you trying to incorporate the "rotary" theme into it, but the box appears like it was just "Thrown" in the back, and does not conform to the interior at all. I mean, the thing just sits there on the rear deck, taking up all that space, and making any of the left over space unusable anyway. Have you considered making it sunk into the wheel well area a bit more, and perhaps getting a smaller sub?

^Nardi steering wheel FTMFW. :icon_tup:

To the OP, I'm gonna have to say it's not my taste, but I can appreciate all the work done. I know from experience that that stuff is hard to work with and get right.

/\ See? That's my point, the "work" he put into it is great, the guy just needs to work on his "taste" a bit. You can deff pull off that "look" if you do it right.
