Technically, it all peels off so it’s one pull away from being a normal-looking RX-7 with a rare Mazdaspeed nose and pricey silver BBS wheels.

True and it’s purely for shock value. Not sure how you’d remove that horrible vinyl from the wheels, though.

Then have to get the wheels rebalanced. Those Dealers know how to make a lot of extra hassle.

Same way you do the rest, heat gun and time. Or if you're feeling particularly lazy and brave I bet acetone would work.

You sell them as the “wheeler dealers RX7 wheels” for way too much money and buy back stock ones for cheaper... By a 6 pack with the extra money you made :)

The episode was on Velocity again last night. The kid they purchased it from had seller’s remorse and bought it back with the wrap for twice as much.

Plus it was 2.5 years ago

Yeah, this was terrible.

I love the show for the how-to bits, but their taste in customization is always awful.

They gave a Skyline similarly tasteful modifications

Kinja'd!!!

And the WRX they did.....

Kinja'd!!!

And the 944

Kinja'd!!!

I love the show but good lord. They really need to stick to restoration and leave modification to someone.....anyone else.

I wanna meet the kid who bought it back. Hopefully he took all that awful wrap shit off.

He loved the wrap TBH. The episode may or may not rebroadcast this week (check your cable provider’s listings).

It is on YouTube but you would need a VPN to watch it because it’s REGION LOCKED TO CANADA:

It was an old Zenki model, so nothing of value was lost.
