Am I the only one?
 

Who honestly does not like 90% of the body kits/exterior modifications RE-Amemiya makes?

Everyone always shits bricks over cars with RE kits and I really cannot stand how most of them look.

Soooooo, in an effort to see if there is any hope for me liking RE-Amemiya's body work, post some pics of FCs with RE-Amemiya shit on em'!



Disclamer: I really love RE-Amemiya as a company and a professional rx7 tuning company.

Sidenote: veilside on the other hand has never made anything good for the rx7 and I hope they all die.

I use to think that way to, actually iv detested about 90% of the worlds aero market for any vehicle maker. Anything OEM looks good and doesnt need anything done to it but just a good paint job and decent wheels.

Then when i found out function vs form, and took my stance in the ideals of function over form...i found that many things that i would normally find ugly, seemed full of win.

I find this a good mix between form and function

I hate pretty much any body kit on a fc as another member pointed out, I hate on others fcs but post nooby thread lmao!

OP, your sig pic I'd say looks gret except the side skirts, love the bumper but I don't like where the sideskirt just seems to go flat where the door starts, also the flat bulky look at the bottom doesn't attract me.

Am I hating on your car? I don't feel so

As WingsofWar said function over form, I don't see a bulk body kit helping in function, maybe a better bumper and rear diffuser, etc.

Youre not hating on it, its ok to have a general opinion on the way things look.

I think the picture in my sig is a little discieving, the angle and the low quality photo (damn sig file size limits) may be distorting it. It looks much better in person haha

I think everyone has their own opinions about bodykits. Just run through some threads and you'll see that the members here run the gamut in terms of function, form, etc. I personally think RE Amemiya make great parts but there are other companies that make parts that are equal in terms of function. That being said here are some pics of my FC...Enjoy.

I like the RE especially on a white FC

anyone else feel that the color of the car determines what type of kit will look good on it

The canards make that front bumper work, they look ugly without them.

That bodykit reduces aerodynamic turbulence that is created by air bouncing around and especially underneath the car

cwest i saw your car parked outside of the boso garage grand opening, i like it *thumbs up*

ePH C freak in my opinion has one of the cleanest FCs. The wheels and stance make or break a car, and his is done nicely.

Alot of the RE stuff looks like its from the 90s when FCs where in thier target audience, and now they concentrate more on FDs so they dont particularly design new stuff for the fc.

One of my favorites, the whole car.

Diggen the widebody and sideskirts, but the headlights just kill it all for me.

Also I really cannot tell if I like that wing or not...if it was just a little shorter ahhhhhh

not a big fan of the wing on the red beast but love the rest of it

Thanks Hypertek...It's been a work in progress lately so hopefully by December I'll be close to done...now if I can only convince Blimp to sell me his rims...lol

Ouch, I hope I don't DIE just because the company I work for.
:(


bummer.

Tell them to stop being a bunch of horrible ricers.

oh man did you look at your sig yet? lmao

Base model with 4 lugs and a body kit. Rice.

Nope.
I haven't said that.

yep.

I bought the car like that and any money I had was going into getting it running 100%.

I think the engine is more important than the wheels but if you guys feel differently.....shit, youre more ricers than i am!:crzyeye:

Annnd im buying wheels this week haha


I bought the car mostly for the body work already done because I fucking hate body work with a firey burning passion. The car had a few problems with it and I figured having a running car with shitty wheels is better than a non running one with baller wheels

still 4lug and NA though *hahah im fuckin wit cha*

4 lug forevvaaaaaaaa


And I have plans for a nice and powerful N/A streeported motor in the future....


I dont make enough money to properly tune a turbo motor to where it wont blow up every week haha

Ok back on topic you bastards!

Me personally, I really like the stock pop-up head lights. Any other head light kit looks like garbage. EXCEPT for the RE-A kit. It's the only flush mount head light kit that I like. Come to think of it, I don't think there are many other kits like that anyway! :lol:

cwest fc3s badassness. I like most products offered by re amemiya just not that shopping cart looking wing thing and the prices. Very tasteful for the most part though.

hate on.

I think RE stuff only looks good on an FD. However CWest's car is the exception.

Thanks guys...I appreciate the positive feedback...

Make sure you don't get front wheel drive 18x7 +50 offset (or something like it:icon_tdow) wheels, or it will look just as bad.

you know Brandon i think you should just give me those Mazdaspeed seats you used to have sice you got these beauties :)

Hey Matt,
How's the R Magic side marker hunt coming? PM...I might be able to help you find a set of those seats however lately the black ones have become harder to find but if you're interested I did find a set of red ones and white ones...You're gonna have a harder time trying to find the brackets. Hit me up LMK

Macz: I love that Tamon kit and originally I wanted to do the full thing unfortunately I can't get past this not wanting to drill into an original white S5 T2 sentiment I have...maybe one day though...
