Few things I didn't care for about the car.

1) Automatic.
2) The mirrors. :facepalm:
3) Tinted front windshield?
4) Sirius antenna at the top of the windshield. Could have mounted it inside the hatch for a cleaner look.

I didn't mind the headlight toooo much. While I would have stuck with the OEM ones, I don't think these looked toooo bad. lol. And the Volks look great on the car. :)

My roommate had those mirrors on his FD and I thought about buying them from him because my Ganador's are made for Japanese cars so I have to lean to see out of them lol. At least these would be functional lol.

And when I lived in Vegas I had every single window of my car tinted, even the windshield. The car was black inside and out, and I had pretty much double tint on all the windows and then the lightest tint across the whole windshield and a dark strip across the top too. You couldn't even see in the car LOL, but I loved it. Then my Mom got pulled over driving it back in Missouri while I was stationed in Japan, I would love to have seen that cop's face lol.

I didn't even notice the antenna. I agree about that one for sure. And normally I like TE37/LE37 that are more aggressive, but those look really good on that car. But those headlights would have to go too lol.

Ever since joining this forum, I've paid a lot more attention to (which is to say "noticed") FD RX-7s. They are pretty beautiful cars, and for the money, I kinda like that one a lot. Then again, for the money, I'd probably want him to include everything he's listed as "not included".

As far as the headlights and the overall lighting up front.... I'm not going to go so far as to say I "don't like it", but it definitely looks busy the more I stare at it. But I'm nitpicking. Those mirrors definitely don't add any style points.
