I need to know in the next year or so. I think that by that time I will need them. I have yet to find a place that has them except cp racing. I agree way to expensive. I have heard that 280's fit with a little modification. Sorry I can't be of more help I haven't been serious enough to do a google/rx7 forum search yet. Have you tried searching the forum yet?

I bought some rear fender flares on ebay today... I'm not saying what they are until I get them on and see how they look... Let's put it this way though: I'm spending about $20 on 'em, so it's a cheap gamble.

I was going to do that, or make some myself, but it would be very, very pricey, unless you have a hook up. The ones I bought will need some alteration, but I think they'll work.

I'm looking through my VB catalog right now... They have a wide body kit for $1300, but I don't see any fender flares.

Only problem with Selectmaz is that its australian. Shipping for anything from them would be outrageous, especially for something the size of a body kit. They do make nice stuff.

Yep I know....but hands down they have the best body kit IMO. Granted that does not include the GTOII widebody that mariah sells. I would pay the difference to have something that is totally dofferent and unique. Man more people would probably ask me if it is a porsche though...dang

Aren't the CP Racing "rip offs" based on the A-RF over fender flare design? For CP's price it would be just as well to buy the originals from Japan.

I like the SelectMaz ones, though. Everytime I visit their page I always overlooked the picture noticing they were just fender flares. I thought they were bolt on fenders. If they were completely fiberglassed to the body making it smooth I would go for those, too.

I'm still looking for 240z ones. I can't seem to find the right ones.
