Widebody Kit Were to buy
 

So i have been looking at fender flares for my 500hp ford 8.8 build and was gonna just end up doing the ZG flares. In my searching i found this body kit that i have never seen before surprisingly. Andd well lets just say im in love and need to have it. Is there anywhere that makes a rep of it or produces it at all any more???

That looks amazing!!! Sorry I can't help but I had to say it. :D

mariah but expect to spend around 4gs. my buddy sold his Mode 1 and bought a GTU widebody kit

I don't think that's a Mariah kit. It's significantly different. The fender flares all bolt on with exposed fasteners and transition smoothly into the sills. The chin spoiler maintains the OEM '81-'85 front fascia.

I definitely prefer the bolt-on version. Whenever composite parts are bonded to steel, cracks are likely to eventually develop. With a bolt-on installation, this problem is avoided.

I think this is the best looking setup I've seen for a 1st gen. I'd like to see it fully painted, with the car sitting at ride height. I'm definitely interested.

The best chance you have is to call JDM Legends and beg for a lead, they had the kit brought over from Japan and said it was incredibly hard to source, the rear wing is from Mariah.

Yeah, good luck finding info on that one. Really hope you can find it, and if you do, let us know!!! Better have a build thread.

Gorgeous car they made.

IF YOU BUILD IT, WE WILL COME: JDM LEGENDS RX-7 - Speedhunters

That is the Japanese version of the Group C kit you see on a bunch of AUS cars. The JAP flares are a little wider it seems.

JDM Ledges got the flares and air dam from p40p0, and the wing is from Mariah.

p40p0 sells the flares for just under $400 give or take exchange rates. He seems to not have any listed at the moment.

What is the p40p0 website? I just googled it but couldent find it. Ill contact them. And im assuming thats 400$ a flare correct?? Thanks for all the info guys.

Nope, its around $400 for all four flares not including shipping. You have a PM.

You are just like me my friend. This was tied for first as my favourite widebody, I ended up with my other choice. However I was trying to source this kit for a while, and I was speaking to SelectMaz when I found that they made the kit.. Check them out. Hopefully they still make it :)

That is one badass kit! And like you said elwood, having it bolt on is such a nice feature versus doing all that bonding fiberglass to steel work. Would be a sick looking ride when finished, props on the find!

I just sent selectmaz a enquiry. When i find a source for this kit i will make sure to post up. So much better looking than any fender flares and it doesent seem that hard to make in comparison to normal flares as well. Thanks for all the replies guys.

Too bad this guy doesn't want to ship to the USA, I have already asked.

my buddy got the same response from them so he went with mariah gtu

That body kit is a IMSA widebody originally for the '78-'80 SA rx7's. It was purchased off of Yahoo Japan auctions.
The kit was modified slightly to fit around the fb style front bumper.
On their blog he was complaining how the kit didn't fit and he was forced to modify it. -_-
That Rx7 is the shop car for JDM Legends. The owner used to work for Rotary Performance in Garland Tx.

For those interested, here is the car all painted up.

Gods i love how this kit looks it really looks amazing painted. Select maz said the company they used to get them from went out of buisness years ago. So there a bust. Looks like im gonna have to either learn japanese or get some of my military friends in japan to source one for me. Too bad they know nothing about cars lol.

Here is a potential business opportunity for someone out there.
One day I would like one of these kits too.

I know someone who does a lot of vehicle/parts importing and he is based in japan. I will try to contact him and see if its worth bringing some over..just a quick market test...how many of you will actually buy one if I can get a hold of it?

I could do the moulds if I can put my hands on a sample!

Heeh ill see what I can do about procuring a sample :)

Let me know if you find anything! info@carbonrx7.com

:)

Want. :nod::icon_tup:

Just talked with my buddy in japan. He is going to do some research and see if he can locate a full kit or at least the molds. We will see what happens after that.
