New to RX7's just got love it but need help on widebody's

Hi all I am very new to your site and RX7's in total. But today I bought my first 1985 GSL-SE stock in very very good condition, and I an now hooked. This car has all the stock and dealer accessories you can think of. I will submit photo's when I get back my digital camera in 6 days time.

I have see on this site and a few others photos of widebody kits but I am somewhat confused as to the names of the various widebody kits and where they can be found.

Question: How many widebody kits both PAST & PRESENT have been made for the 1st Generation. Also what are the names of them?

I would love to import one over to my country in the caribbean. There are 5 other 1st gen's owners here that are interested in kits but also confused like my self.

pacific is no longer in business and thats too bad because they used to have a real nice widebody kit. it wasn't too wide either just perfect.
I can say that mariah makes and sells products that are made very good, and fit good. a but pricey but worth it . IMO. ya'man

If you want a nice looking widebody, check these guys out. http://www.piner.com/japco/
This kit is not going to break you and it keeps the shape of the 7 while giving it some muscle.

From what I understand - the NOPI widebody kit is a direct copy of the Old Pacifica kit..

While thats a very convincing argument, you think you could give a little detail as to why I shouldn't buy from them?

I must say that I HATE ford engines, no matter what it is. I've had a bad experience with a few different ford engines and I have lost all faith in them since. Only ever hear bad things about them. Nothing really that good.
