If I were to *happen* to know someone with the facilities to make this out of carbon fiber, would there be a market for it? If not c/f, what about kevlar, or fiberglass?

Yes Chef, but drop the silly supra wing if you do make it! CF might be too expensive, you might have to go with fiberglass.

This is a custom kit, here is some info on it http://www.mazspeed.com/purplebeast.htm Here is the guys web page. It does not have that much info but it does have his email address. I have never emailed him so I don't know if it is still current but if you like the kit you may want to give him a try. http://turbo1rx7.freeyellow.com/

says right on there the body kit is custom. Which means, BTW, that he owns the body he's created, and anyone making a kit of it would be ripping him off.

No, Porsche owns the design of the 6 lights on the front. Porsche makes no panels that fit on the RX-7. Those are custom. The fact that they make the RX-7 look more porsche-like is immaterial.

Whoever designed and sculpted those panels, or contracted to have them sculpted, owns that design.

I like the whole thing, but once more than 1 or 2 people have it then it'll end up just like Veilside. "That thing's so rice!" "It's ugly!"

"Fugly POS!"

You all know how it is...

So instead, let's all find other ways to make our 1st gens look perrrty.... preferably after we've all got 20b turbo cosmo engines in them, of course.
