stick with the first picture you post....

you probably don't want to drive it after all the money you spent on the body work....poor 240---it's being chopped up ew..., it deserved a better home--

seriously though, if i were you, i would have spent all that money on a 10sec motor build up....body kits....just worthless...

Wow.. no love!

Well, I like it. Anytime somebody puts that kind of $$$ into a car, it should look nice. I think it will. I think those pics are really sharp.

The only thing that worries me is the custom chop top. I would be concerned that the integrity of the frame would be comprimised with a custom chop. I think if it were me, I would buy a 'vert and work from there. Oh wait... I did that.

Anyhow... Nice pics. I think that kit is pretty sweet. It makes the car look like a 2000's sports car instead of a late 80's/early 90's sports car.

Keep us updated with pics as it comes along.

Nice job!

I don't hate. If you can afford to spend the money on the body, and make the car fast to match the look then you are good in my book.

I like not being pulled over by cops, so now that I have my matt black 5ziegen wheels, next stop will be to have the whole car painted black.

My damn Royal Saphire Pearl RX-7 seemed like a good idea at the time, until the cops started following me everywhere, and someone tries to race me at every light.

But good luck and it doesn't matter what other people think, it is all about what you think.

3 years after I first saw that kit from Jacquemond and they BEGGED me to buy it or refer them customers its STILL at the $7K price tag?

I dont see anything wrong with it except the price...

Go for it man & remember...only ONE PERSON has to like the car, YOU!

That's it, end of story...you gotta drive it you gotta like it.

I'm 5''11 so i'm not real short........but i have thought about there not being enough head room...I must say the chop top is the only thing i haven't completely made up my mind on if i'm going to do or not.

I say reinforce the body with a cage, and then targa the top. That would be different.

Man you guys are being to nice... all I gotta say is that jacquemond kit looks like sheer ***. Just because its expensive or unique doesn't necessarily mean it looks nice. I mean the huge scoops on the side are just rediculous. Besides WHAT THE HELL IS THIS DOING IN THE RB FORUM!!
