Cool New 1st Gen Body kit on the market

Found this full page ad in Nov 2007 issue of Super Street page 87.
There was a thread earlier in the year on the development of this kit.
Nice to see it on the market, looks real good!

Item number: 200164130979

I'm not sure I trust the website you have posted. Try to do a check-out. It's the small things, like attention to detail, that help me determine if the end product is worth it. Based on their website, I'll pass.

I saw it up close at sevenstock. I like it for the most part. Not crazy about the rear, stylish yes, aerodynamic no. But nice fit, not too over the top. If you look at their FC kit it looks like they simply adapted it for the 1st gen.

Not to sounds like a jack-***, but that's been in the past three issues of SuperStreet. I've been looking into that one as an idea for my FB.

Check out works as far as the credit card info....not ready to lay down the$$$ on this yet, got other priorities.
Haven't bought a issue of Super Street in a while, had a RX-7 on the cover.....I weak when it comes to all things rotary.

the rear is the worst part. Pretty ugly.

The front kinda needs getting used to...I guess I have to see it in person.

Funny, I look at the rear and see a blank canvas to fab up a sick rear diffuser.
It would be perfect!
Brilliant minds.....think outside the rotor housing!

By the way, Duraflex... are they the guys that advertise the whole polyurathane embedded body kits or something like that?

I can't remember, but there's an ad in SuperStreet for a FB body kit. The company has this like little show off by having two guys twisting one of there body kit fenders into a spiral, to show off how flexible it is...

Anyone remeber who they are? *runs off to check his stack of SS for a name or scan*

I have no freaking clue how they do it, but it is Duraflex, I was wrong about the polyurathene, prolly either another company or getting bushings confused...
