It was a surprise for all of us to see Jim Pan, president of TuningWerks Competition (TWC, TWCompetition), and his new creation you see here, a Mazda RX-7, at SEMA.
We've talked many times, in person and on online, with regards to business, personal and upcoming builds, but he neglected to hint this.
A few days prior to SEMA, Jim had leaked a few photos of his RX-7 on social media, hinting that it was almost ready for its debut in Las Vegas. As a result, not only did the freshly BASF painted Rocket Bunny body styling trend but the new Enkei X Kei Miura TRA Kyoto 6666 Customs 2-piece welded, "built to order", gold mesh wheels staggered the masses and "broke the internet'!
I tip my hat off to you Jim - this FD was definitely a (big) suprise! In addition to the aforementioned, teaming up with Jim on this project was Nitto, Optima Batteries, What Monsters Do, Takata, Bride, StopTech, AutoRnD and Diamond Autobody. #pasmag
