Mazda RX7 finished

After so many hours of work, the Mazda RX7 is done. But there are a couple of things to point out.
The most obvious is that the model is not 100% accurate.
1) While this is a Savanna, it's not the exact model that ran in GrA. The real car had a slightly different bodykit.
2) The exterior and the interior are done, only thing I'm still optimizing are headlights. The mod comes with closed headlights, open headlights and glass-race headlights (And I'm not entirely sure the latter was ever used, but oh well..) and I'm looking at a way to have them dynamic instead of static (Which means using genstring to change style). In poor words, I'm looking for a way to make them open and close when pressing the headlight button on your keyboard/joypad/wheel. I know it's possible (It was made as a "proof of concept" for the DRS in some F1 mods), but I don't know how.
3) As mentioned in the #1 point, this is not a 100% replica, but it's as close as I could achieve. All Gr2 and GrA skins from 1979 to 1986+ can be done without problems, they just won't be 100% close to the real model.
4) Most of the real cars were RHD (Right wheel drive), but this model only comes in LHD (Left wheel drive). It's not a disaster, but, again, nothing I can do about it.


It needs skins! If you want to paint something for this car, let me know and I'll send you a paintkit with the template and a basic 3D model you can load in 3DSimEd.
