Kit I've Never Seen Before

Found this on AndysAutoSport and ebay. I like how it looks, but I've never seen it on an actual FC. Kinda debating the bumper and flares, paired with TII skirts and Shine rear half bumper, and maybe the Shine rear diffuser on my vert. Would probably have to go wide rears, though......hmm.......

Anybody have this, or have information on it? Replica? Original? I've searched for a few hours now and came up empty for forum results. I know Duraflex has become pretty common in the past few years, but that's about it.

1986 1991 Mazda RX 7 Duraflex MTP Wide Body Body Kit | eBay

It's kinda ugly in my opinion. It's that hard line. I don't know. If rather keep it stock and add a lower diffuser or something small.

I'd pass, actual pics and somewhat guaranteed fitment are not offered. If you don't stand behind the product you make then why sell it.

Speaking as a owner, I wouldn't recommend the shine rear half bumper. I have it and it catches a lot of drag in the rear. Had I not already finished my exterior I'd do a stock s5 rear with a RE Diffuser.

Extreme Dimensions in Fullerton is the maker of Duraflex products, an FYI.

In those pictures it makes the FC look a lot like a kouki S13. Which is not my cup of tea. It is a smooth looking kit, but I think actual pictures would be a big help.

Eh. I'd just never seen it before. It'd be really nice to see a pic of it installed. I'm a newbie to body work, so I don't think my attempt would be best served for that purpose. But it's a weird line, no questions. I just wonder what it might look like done well.

You're probably right. Besides, I'm still biased to the Odura lip cause of your vert. It's just odd that I can't find a single picture of a 7 with it on. Not even in any of the "Kit Identification" threads I ran across.
