Yeah thats UOFA, ahaha.
the hole kit out here 1200 canadian dollars.
I would get it off EBAY, but I'm really bad with ordering stuff of the internet.

Special mods are needed to properly install on the 80rx7.
so im pretty excited to see what challenge awaits me ahead.

it wont fit as nicely as say a kit off of mazdatrix designed for your 1980 rx7, which cost about the same.
also isnt this kit for a 81-85 rx7?

I hear yah Slider, it is "made" for 79-85. But 79-80 models need special mods.
I previously posted, how i got a free 84 rx7 for spares.
so i'm going to mod my 80 with those body parts, or try to frame my 80's body to fit the kit.
I like the look of kits like that, not even being a ricer.
I think it looks really classy.

but I'll post some pics, I don't get it for 6-8 weeks.
when I do, I'll get her on there. and we'll see if I can get it Flush.
I hope to god though, lol!!!

You will need to swap fenders (maybe) and the front metal bumper assy, and parking/turn lights. I think thats about it. Should be fairly straight forward with not too much trouble.

dude. you got screwed. royally. heres why:

the whole kit is on ebay for just a little more

youll have to swap all the stated above from your FB to put the front bumper on. basically changing the front of your car from a SA to a FB.

you could have gotten a bumper that looks about idenical from ISC for $175.

BUT

if im not mistaken, its that bumper some form of polyurethane? thatd be a bonus in my book. also, its your money and if youre happy with it, thats all that matters.


sorry, im in a bad mood.

ISC?
may i ask the website for that =) for future preference.
and yeah i also think i was over priced, but it's all good for the time being.

yeh its polyurethane, I'm pretty sure.
I also saw the same kit on EBAY, that's what made me fall in love with that look.
BUT I have no experience with ebay, and maybe I pay a little bit more, for locals that I trust.
and I'm all good with that.

Thanks guys, I'll keep you all posted.
