Ported or bandpass box that is the question. I think if I make a bandpass it's gonna take up my whole trunk space though haha so I just answered my own question.

it'll be drift spares anyway even just the face of it would be good enough. I'll check them out.

Not sure I think it's like a Halloween orange haven't seen the color in person someone had them on their car on the forums looks similar to the ones they posted pics of yesterday that were plastidipped. They are quite a bit lighter than the stocks too. I ended up selling my stock wheels for 400 so mine only cost me about 250 which is cheaper than painting the stickers would've been and saved me some weight and I thought they looked a lot better than the stock wheels

If they are just spares and you dont care what they look like why dont you do it yourself. The secret to a good paint job is a better prep job. Just really prep well with the right cleaning supplies and tack clothes. Then just prime, paint, and clear coat.

Maybe you can ask @Yruyur to use his gun.

Well I don't trust myself painting yet. Maybe I'll do it myself if my new wheels are here

The paint prep is true as you are stating but there is a lot more involved into a good paint job than just prime, paint and clear.

So I've been discussing an FRS fantasy with a friend of mine: 13b-REW from the RX-7 into the FRS. Use the RX-7 engine and tranny then mate it to the factory FRS rear drivetrain. Sure, you'd lose the low center of gravity, but I'd think the possible weight shift rearward would be beneficial. Sure, the rotary motor isn't always the most efficient and it tends to burn oil, but those issues have been mitigated by upgrading apex seals and proper tuning. I think it'd be a fun project...if I only had the money.
