iirc, they got some bad input on this board. try searching here and the interior section and also the feedback section.

Its hit or miss with raceon, the 240 guys say their stuff fits great, several members have said they had fitment issues with the 7. Either way im not a big fan of the bumper, check out the stuff shine auto makes, great looks and great fitment.

"99 spec bumper", man. Series 8 RX7. Don't think there's anything better than OEM quality and fitment.

Steer clear of raceonusa. I have one of their gtc replica bumpers sitting in my attic, it mates the the fenders okay , but does not follow the curve of the hood. This will require some surgery to make right, their "tech" support Hugo said I need to go to home depot and buy a 5 gallon bucket of bondo and also claims this is normal for their parts

I bought a pettit gtc for 700, had it painted and bolted it on. Rather than take the partial refund they finally agreed to give me, which would have netted me maybe 80 after shipping it back to them, it gives me much more satisfaction to keep it and bad mouth these hacks every chance I get Someday I will fix it and plan to use it for a track only bumper!

That sucks, I bought the Vertex kit from them, carbon fiber hatch, and carbon fiber hood and everything fits great. the car is in the body shop right now.

I'm supposed to get it back next week, when I do I'll post pics
