How did they make this?
I found this picture of a 7 on the Internet somewhere. How was it done? I think the front is a 3rd generation, I know the rims are third generation for sure. What about the wing on the back, what is that off of? Then the side skirts and the lower valance on the rear bumper....anyone know what these are from? How did the person use a third generation front end on our cars?

Kaminari Body Kit. Dunno about the tail (I like it),
Custom Drilled Rotors for the 5 lug conversion. Used to be on Sale about 9 months ago here in S. Florida.

They just make the side skirts though right? I just checked out their website and the only thing that resembles the picture is just the side skirts. Maybe I have the wrong address. Anyone have another address?

Well it looks like a third generation front, doesn't it? It might not be, but it looks to me like it is. Too bad there wasn't a pic of this car from the front, then I could tell for sure.

I remember about two years ago there was this guy on ebay that was sellling the front air-dam for first gen that he and bunch of his friends made from third gen, looked pretty sweet.

The front end is regualr 1st gen except the addition of an air-dam. The skirts are Kaminari and the wing I believe is Mazdatrix. I've seen that rear for sale on the net before.

I was mistaken, the wing can be found here:

Tennis, anyone
For the wheels. it's just a conversion kit,like DF said.
i like that cars profile,,the duel exhuast gets me,,
i've looked under the back and the gas tank doesn't
leave much room for exhuast piping,,on the drivers side
however,it was done,and by whoever,,did a cool job.
if i could i'd like duel exhuast..maybe the body kit opened up enough space to be able to do that...maybe
some heat shielding to i would think...no 3rd gen, FB all
the way..are those real 3rd gen wheels,,or just look
real close to them..nice car though. the guy whos wants
to buy a GTO body kit,,you might do some research ,,
for the street may not be a good thing,,and **** man,,,
a mariah full blown GTO body kit is ******* big bucks..
for the price of the body kit,one could buy any gen rx7
just about.

Hey "the 7thguru", I've got a Mariah Mode I wide body kit on my '82 RX7-GX (canadian version). I've also incorporated side skirts into the design which turned out to be very very nice and 'one of a kind'. Even Marah Motorsports (Jim) doesn't add side skirts. The complete installation and pearl paint took 7 weeks. So be patient if you decide to go witht he Mariah package.
The guys at Mariahmotorsports are great and very helpful.
Oh I forgot to mention, I also incorporated the 'warp-around-skirting' into the body package also.
Very cool result, if I don't say so myself. What do you guys/gals think?

Maybe. I wonder if it has the Braje light LED's in it. I need more research. If I could get it, I would sell my brand new, (100% original, never painted) Mazda OEM Polyurethane 3 piece wrap around tail for it.

Interesting: the plastic trim between the tail lights has been removed and a license plate mount added in it's place in the pic DF posted - a Series 3 trying to look like a Series 1? Where do you put the license plate light? (legally required in every province and virtually every state)

It has lights too. They don't have the plastic piece like
they do here in North America.

Thanks for responding guys. Now I know how to make mine look like that 
Just one thing though, the front, someone said it was just an air dam....know which one that is? Just so I have it right, the side skirts and the rear bumper part are both from Kaminari, or is it just the side skirts from there?
