Talk about a body kit....

Would you believe this is a 81 rx-7? Granted, they killed it and put a chevy 350 in....about 330 hp. They have plans to sell a 406 kit. Can you imagine 450 HP in a 1st gen body????? Anyway, I just like the side pipes. I've always wanted to take headers straight into sidepipes on my little rotary....luckily, no one makes them :P BTW, incase you were interested, the body kit sells for 4300 canadian. That's about 2700 american dollars....

That's the CanFiber kit made in Ottawa.. been around a while. The Miata headlights are different. I never liked it much but that's probably because all those cars have V8s...

The headlights, the foglights way off to the side, the fender flares that aren't smooth or properly blended into the body, the front license plate hanging below the bumper. The whole design just sucks. But look on the bright side: at least the wheels are cool.

Wheres the hood line? Is that a whole front end off type of thing?

See one positive if it is, would be easy to work on

It's a sad way for a 7 to go. I'm going to admit though... gulp... I like the car.

I'd like to get that car and have some fun with a flame thrower and a steamroller. That would be a better way for a 7 to go than that horrible body kit. I hope the makers rot for that. Poor 7
