Looks good, but most countries won't let you have exposed rubber like that, add mud flaps or track only!

That level of Photoshop is carcinogenic.

That car is hard to improve upon.

Every time I see "Rocket Bunny," I picture a Japanese chick on roller skates wearing a red tube top and Daisy Dukes. Yes, I have a very vivid imagination, and yes, I'll be in my bunk with that thought.

just yesturday i was staring at a customer's FD and thinking how anyone could flare it. Pettit's looked weird, Re Amemiya's all look weird.. and i literally thought "how would 6666 do it"

...though after starring at it for a bit, i cant help but nit pick. im sooooo against any kind of exterior mods on these cars, and i am in a rough spot here. But i think i understand my thought process. i love modern style with the huge bolt on flares, slammed and purposefully designed. but the FD doesnt quite benefit from it, it simply moves sideways. its no better, and could age, but in the right circumstances i would do it, if i wanted a time attack car, or an otherwise terrifying street car that i wanted to be different that those around me, id do it.. but the whole thing would probably come off one day, and id be right back to a stock bodied car... you just cant improve on perfection.

Never quite got the gaps on the back side of the fender flares... extractor vents... I get. Fender gaps... not as much.

Gorgeous form, otherwise, graphics not required. I actually like the duck-tail spoiler.

I like the tail too, too bad Mazda can't make a car like that again. It seems to me a bunch of cars just changed, I can't tell a VW from an Audi at night anymore, lots of cars ripping off others and with such modern form today they are more similar than in the past I think.

You're looking at the past through rose tinted specs.

We have these things called design trends. That Mazda wasn't some breath of fresh air during in the 90s. It looked like a lot of other shit of that era.

I don't think those RX7s look like anything else, there are several features on that car that are unique. I saw one the other day and they are so much rounder and smoother than anything else, the front flows right to the back, the door handles and shape of the roof flow into a rounded rear end. Its like water was poured over it.

You're being unfairly selective. It's a 2 seater coupe with pop-up headlights and smooth, rounded edges like a lot of cars of that era. Sure, it has has distinct characteristics, but so do modern cars.

Purity of form is not that common. The temptation of over-styling and adding too many decorations is too prevalent, and the restrictions of using shared chassis families precludes such sublime proportions, even before the form is rendered.

FD-3S is one of the rare ones that get both the proportions and the sublime status of the styling right, simultaneously. There were other 90's cars that didn't do too bad, but none were better looking than FC-3S, and crash test standards prohibit anything newer with the engine in front of the cabin, from looking like that now.
