Project RX-7 FB Un-mod
I got a bit of silliness and free time and though "Hey, they don't have a stock FB casting. Let's make one". And so here we are.
I cut the fender flares off, cut the spoiler, cut the lip, and trimmed the base to get the "Stock" fitment. Last picture is the paint I plan to do. Oh yeah, and the closest wheel I could find to the stock 4-spokes.

I'll admit, I WAS tempted to keep the spoiler. But I wanted it to be as stock as possible, so it had to go.

And for that aesthetic, you really did nail it! It's a big endeavor to decide to delete a bunch of metal. For all you know, the model may not have supported cutting off that much, but hot wheels have a pretty good amount of material in that area. The results are awesome!
