A stock First Generation Rx7 for me anytime. I don;t like any of the body kits. I feel that these kits look cheap, and, obviously , the ones pictured don't fit. Theres a sucker born every minute though and although I hate to waste my precious money some do not.

I really like the way the rear end is skirted on the red Ultima style one. I just wish it was possible to keep my widebody fenders and have the skirts like that. What do u guys think?

I think this front end is starting to grow on me. It really has a modern look.

The hot coolant out hose looks a bit warped, but other than that it's lovely

IMHO, the kit is ugly. It makes it look sorta like an MR 2. Now I love MR 2's but i dunno it just doesn't seem right to me.LAter

Hmm...

Thats the only front end I like, besides my Kaminari.

I wouldn't mind picking up a front section, if they sell them in separate pieces.

If someone finds a price for just the air dam, please post it here, or email me at ThePartsYouNeed@aol.com.

Thanks for all the info Paul. Too good to be true I guess. Again I'm left wondering tho, where did the bumber on that Silver car come from?

It looks to me to be a bumper from a mid 90's Mercury Capri. I saw a pic of a 1st gen rx with a convertable conversion and it was very similar to the body lines of a Capri. If that bumper didn't come from a Capri you could probably get one to fit, I've had both my cars side by side and they are very very close to being the same dimensions(without measuring).

the front clip on the silver one didnt look bad at all , but the red one looked like they bolted one side and then kicked the **** out of the other until it fit and they could do up the bolt
