    door seals from Aikens fit great and it was their aftermarket ones and not one's from Mazda. They sent a door to manufacture to get fit during making of the seals

    The RADX7 is coming along great! I definitely vote for the custom stick on the rear glass trim.

    Really enjoying your restomod on the 79, looks the goods, hopefully you have plenty of leftover leftover red paint for those touch ups.

    You can get new RX-7 decals for the small rectangle piece on the rear window, they're on ebay.

    Looking amazing, one quick question, what front lip are you running, I have a 79 SA I am restomoding. I need to replace my factory front valence because the previous owner pretty much trashed it.

    Looks great man. Did you use the trim black on the bumper trim as well or just clean them up? Can’t wait to redo the trim on my 79 this spring

    Hey 7 is looking great! Question though, for the top of windshield did you have to purchase a weather strip to prevent rain or water seeping in from the top of the weather strip. Or what did you use to prevent this from happening?

    The windshields are glued in, I put a fresh bead of windshield glue at the top, but otherwise that's all you can do less cutting the windshield out

    Not expecting an answer but I'm needing to replace the majority of coolant hoses on my FD (I read there was 17!!??). Some are quite small and have bends. Have you had to source these hoses? Where did you get them from? Any help appreciated

    For finding OEM replacement stuff. Mazdatrix website is super easy to navigate and will show you the mazda part number. You may be able to find a better price somewhere else after getting the numbers

    Mazdatrix has started making their own window seals and door seals. I have both and they fit good. The only thing is that the door seals needed some wearing in. I would need to slam the door for it to shut. After a while I wouldn't need to slam the door shut.
