Who can pick this bodykit?

I finnally got a pick of my car, i picked up this body kit (rear spoiler, side skirts and rear skirt) from a wrecker for $150 AUD and i haven't seen it any where else before. The rear skirting is similar to the EuroSS but has Rx-7 molded into it above the exhaust. What do you guys think?

i thought it was that one to but notice the Rx-7 molded into the fibreglass over the exhaust. I wasnt able to the the front spoiler and don't even have the standard front spoiler/bar on it. Dual exhaust would be sweet but i cant figure out how it can be done, the fuel tank is in the way. And no it isn't lowered, the suspension is just 22yrs old.

Maybe its just an older or newer bumper, cause everything else looks the same to me...Selectmaz uses that same rear bumper on 2 or 3 of their kits too, so without the front, its hard to ay which kit it really came from.

I think he just meant a dual pipe muffler, not true dual exhaust .

Oh, I had heard some bad things about the Ultima body kit from them, and that it mounts really horribly...How does that rear bumper mount? Is it a nice fit? You know, all that good stuff .

The rear bumper fitted pretty well, just 2 bolts onto the original bumper and 6 screws in the wheel arch, doesn't fit 100%, there is a slight gap on the side between the body and the bumper but that may be just because mine is old and warped. The rear spoiler was really warped and when forced into position there are some big gaps between the spoiler and the body of the car, like 1cm. I talked to a guy at select maz about how to prevent water getting in it and i don't think he knew what he was on about, at first he said he put nothing between the body and the kit, then he said he put silicone between to prevent water getting in, the i quizied him about where the attenna sits and he said not to put any silicone at the back so the water can run out. Atm i have rubber in between mainly to hide the gaps.

Let me get this right, the kit costs $200 to ship to the US. I find that hard to beleive it costs that here to ship a full kit via freight in the US.

Mike thats $200 each for a bulk order sent to one location. You would have another $200 for US distribution.

A practical problem is that the order would be delivered in a large packing case. You would then have to organise seperate crates for local delivery.

Here is the body kit I want since seeing this one....

I want the back and spoiler of this one. I will make my own sideskirts. And possibly front. This is only if I have time. Otherwise I will go with the back, side skirts, and spoiler of this kit, then take an aftermarket honda front, and make it fit my rex.... .should look goood.....



BTW, That orangy/bronzish car looks SWEEEET!!!!





Thanx, Laterz, Andrew
