Talking Pacifica Widebody for 1st Gen Information (SA22C FB3S SA FB RX7 RX-7 Body Kit)

Hey guys,
I'm searching for some very hard-to-find information on the Pacifica Widebody kit for 1st Gen RX-7's.

Here are some pictures to entice you:







I need to know the following:
1. Does anyone know of/have heard of/have seen/maybe their uncle said one time about a mold set for these parts?
2. Is anyone still making them? I remember seeing a thread maybe a year ago that a company was going to be making these parts again and can't for the life of me find it.
3. Would anyone be interested in a full setup? Front air dam, front fenders, side skirts, rear fenders at a minimum? I'm contemplating making these again...
4. Is there any information floating around out there about the company or installation manuals/information?
5. Does anyone have a set of rear fenders sitting around in a back barn somewhere I could buy? Mine need a ton of repair and would rather start out with new ones if possible.

Any information would be extremely helpful, thanks guys!
Austin

I’m going to chime in so I can track the thread. I like the kit. Perhaps someday my car will be driving and I can begin think of body kits.

At the risk of sounding like an ***, the name of the bodykit is in the subject. It's the Pacifica widebody. It's apparently rare and that's about the limit of my searching.

One letter can make all the difference; THIS IS a PACIFIC Avatar conversion. Pacific was the name ofmthe design company, and Avatar the name they gave the conversion. You might get more hits searching on that. Pacific also made whale tail rear spoilers, of which I have one.

It was one of the nicer early widebody conversions, but was eclipsed by Mariahs Mode 4 and Mode 1 widebody parts which had easier installation and a better design, in my opinion. The other widebody conversions over the years largely mimic the IMSA GTU bodies which were plentiful and ppular, though not on street cars. Happy hunting,
