Haven't updated my project thread for about a year, but here's some up to date pictures of the Rex now...
Freshly rebuilt, run in, and resprayed
Wheels and calipers re-done too:
Yes, I felt the bow was a nice touch from my bodyshop guy

I'm not actually sure
Originally I was going for Nissan K11 Smoke Grey, which is the closest off-the-shelf paint to the GTR wheel colour. But then my bodyshop guy showed me the paint he'd used on his Evo, sprayed the wheels and then decided to matt lacquer them. Turned out quite well I reckon!

Yeah I tried my mate's bronze TE37s and they didn't look right, this ties in more with the carbon colour.

It isn't the best, I agree. But that's how Mazda designed it, there's a big scoop for the intercooler just behind there. If you move it down to the lower bar, then it hits the floor, higher up blocks the radiator, and to either side blocks the oil coolers, so there's really no other place
