What if a C5 and a 3rd gen RX-7 had a baby?
Saw this for sale on FB Marketplace. Never seen this body kit before. Also has a hint of NSX.

That would be a big no. Not impressed by the body mods at all.

I kind of like it, has hints of Mazda (I drive one).
I'll be interested in the mod list, if it exists..
Any swerve that is not obnoxious, is good thing!

The add says the FD3s bumper in not included in the price. I'm guessing that is the front end. WTF is up with that. So he is going to take it off and sell you a car with no front end for 25K. oh and if he is taking off the CCW's if you bring wheels he needs to knock off another 3K.

Melting Slicks
FD3s body parts are almost all aimed at Japanese cars, especially, guess what, RX7's. Never seen that part advertised anywhere for a C5. It's not a brilliant look, but IMHO no worse than the 1990's era Firebird style C5 twin nostril design.

Mods List
Mods list looks good - I like it. Purposely built for upper RPMs, as that cam is huge for the 5.7 (along with the large intake manifold and headers).
No suspension mods, and no listing for the front tires. Curious.
Good news new clutch, just beware the LS7 clutch will feel (and is some) heaver overall. Many replace/upgrade to the RAM aluminum flywheel, to bring the weight/feel back to normal.

It's just an RX7 bumper grafted on to a C5 bumper. People were hoo'ing and ha'ing over the idea a few years ago and this guy actually did it. I think it looks terrible, but a lot of people seemed to like it. Kind of funny that it doesn't come with the car, it's kind of the only thing that makes the car stand out....especially asking 25k for it.
