Imsa RX7 paint
 

After 3 years on this project its finally getting painted later this month. The rear quarters came out awesome, looks factory. They still need to pull glass and finish the front fenders and flairs

Going with a deep mercedes black on it. Should have it all complete for winter.

looks amazing

congrats!

WOW, I love it!!!

Can't wait to see the finished product

Looks so sexy without paint!

I love it!!!

Love the wheels, keep the pics coming!

looking good! what color are you going with?

Wow, that really looks great! Keep the pictures coming as you progress. How's the rest of it?

Wow a widebody with proper wheel fitment! Looks amazing.

That looks great, what body kit is that?

those wheels are nuts!!!

looks great!

I wish my wheels filled out that nice! Excited to see the fresh paint.

I may be repainting mine with IMSA colors next year.

What's under the hood? 20B?

ccw?

Thats going to look sweet in black

few pics
 

I picked up some of the panels yesterday as I will be building it once the rest is done. The black is awesome very deep.

Nice car, can't wait to see it all together finished!

Beutifull!!!

Which rear spoiler is that?

Love the look of that kit - and kudos on the installation lookes amazing. I have the same spoiler and used to have that air dam until a small accident. I did not go widebodly but had to modify it to fit a non-widebody. Hated to get rid of it.

@ rwatson5651 - it is the IMSA spoiler from Mazda; or at least that's where I got mine. Technically its the Mazda widebody IMSA kit and includes everything....except on how to keep the functioning gas cap lid........


Very nice install. Those fiberglass parts are a bit hard to work with to make it look so seamless. FWIW, I blended in my spoiler because I was having problems with water getting under it and rusting the metal beneath it.

Again - dnam nice looking install. Can't wait to see the paint.

Also - what are the specs/offset on those wheels? They fill in perfectly.

Sorry for so many posts, but I don't think I can edit when I do a quick reply...

Is that the Mark I or Mark II kit? I can't tell if the rear fenders go into the door jamb or if you just did a perfect job of blending!! I'm guessing a Mark II.

Imsa body
 

Its actually a Kent body from the 80's. I believe Dave Kent was a chief designer for the racing development in the 70's and 80s

The flair does not go into the door, those are a bit wider than mine. I have 12 inch wide out back, i believe the other you can run 13 or 13.5

I have a friend who actually raced a car in 80's with a similiar body. Its amazing how much wind tunnel testing they put into the body kits back then. Well Mazda dominated GTU and was a force in GTO. Hard to steal that from Porsche but they did.

I get a kick of all the cheesy widebody's they stick on cars these days, complete junk. Ugly and not functional.

I love old Porsche widebodies, mazdas etc. from the IMSA days, it was a great time for racing

ljpviper,

Who installed the body kit? I have a new, never installed Mariah widebody kit I have had for over 5 years now,
and I've been looking for someone reliable with quality work in Miami, and those two things are hard to find together in a body shop down here..

By the looks of the background, looks like your near Lopez Racing?

Thanks,

Youre killing us - where are the final pics?
