Looking good so far. I noticed you had white panels in the interior, are you going to paint those blue as well?

actually they are a three stage white with blue pearl...these were the first thing i painted and it didnt come out as good as i like. i actually am considering going stock interior? gettin old i guess lol or if i do paint the interior it would be another color? you think i should keep the rims silver or black or gunmetal? i recently kinda scratched them up a bit cleaning them so im going to spray them.

Gunmetal should look fine imo. I wonder what it would look like if the rims where a bronze color......might look good or it might look ricey.

I think if they were bronze it'd look too much like a Subaru or Nissan.

Yeah that was my thought too...im smoking the taillights, side markers, turn signals so i think im pushing towards black but a mettalic black with blue flakes? flakes that you can only see in the sun.

The CETA is the cleanest thing you can do to a t/a. Doesn't add to much to the car, but enough to where it stands out alot at the same time.

Nice! I might be looked at like a weirdo, but I think that car looks good without a spoiler. I think its because I like the way RX7 FD's look, I think 4th gen T/A's can pull off the no spoiler look. The squarish 3rd gens look like **** with no spoiler, but that last picture of your car looks damn good to me.
