What Side Skirt is this??

They came on my car and people always ask me about them but I have never seen them for sale before. Anyone know what they are / where they came from?

Is this a question? or a test? You tell us, they're on your whip.

Yes I know they are on my whip. There were on the car when I bought it and I don't know where they came from so I am asking in the hopes that someone might recognize them.

i think its the body kit they sell in the Victoria-Brittish catalog. I don't know though, I've been wrong before.

They look very close to the Kaminari skirts, except for the horizontal groove. Are they fiberglass or urethane and how old do they appear to be?

The side skirts don't look like a piece ment for the Mazda, the lines just don't fit the car. it looks like something not for the FB, but instead someone found someting that would fit the part, and quite well might I add. It could also be part of the illusive ultima kit.

They're fiberglass and appear to be pretty old. They do look similar to kaminari but they are more rounded off around all the edges.

They look similar to a lot of skirts except for the giant chunk that goes back to the front vertical line of the door.

They are for the first gen,Ive seen them before.The chunks on each end look odd,but they are supposed to be like that.Ive seen them on other RX-7s,I just cant think of the brand......
