Figured I would toss my car into the site since I haven't seen any RMAGIC kits represented yet.
It's slightly tweaked w/ my own mods, but you can still see the basic kit.
(except for the rear fenders- pretty much completely remade those)
But included a pic to show what they looked like.
Still under construction;

This is the Raceonusa RMagic full 8 piece wide body kit.
Purchase price normally, $650.00 or so, I got it for $400.00 Ebay bid online.

Fittment as expected, had to grind and cut to make fit.
Some thin spots that broke through.
Overall: ok kit though.

"and now, for something completely different" - for those Monty Python fans out there:

Don't get the front end confused w/ the Erebuni Demon kit - this one is much longer and aero looking.
It was my biggest fear when I purchased this kit, but it fits the car great. - but it is definitely a bold change in the look.

The kit gives you a different back piece than what is shown in the ad.

The rear piece was kinda lame, just a thin piece you can see in black in the 2nd modification pic.

So I did this:

Which I highly recommend, cause it winds up like this:

General response:

RX7 fans love it or hate it, it's a very black or white opinion type kit, no real gray area - personal choice.
Basic car enthusiasts response: can't drive it w/out getting almost always positive comments. Usually have to leave 10 mins earlier than needed cause I will need to talk to the guy who stops me in the parking lot that wants to check it out.

Great thread idea!
But need more selection of kits posted instead of pic's of the same one's.

THreshER7, that modification you did makes the rear fenders of the R Magic kit looks better than the original, but why did Raceon send you a GP Sports rear end?

yeah man that thing is beastly / madmax looking, I love it!
I think the front bumper would look 10x better with an undertray so it looks more professional and finished... just a thought. I never liked being able to see the ground thru aftermarket bumper vents and the wheel wells.

red_s5_fc3s THreshER7, that modification you did makes the rear fenders of the R Magic kit looks better than the original, but why did Raceon send you a GP Sports rear end?
Right, it is a GP rear section. If you go to the website, it will show you the full race version in many pics w/ a rear section that angles up from the rear tires to the stock bumper. One of the major reasons I wanted this kit. - to have a slightly upper angled exhaust w/ twin tips. BUT_ - when you look at the kit piece details, it shows you a pic of the GP rear section. It looked absolutely stupid on the car. Bulbous and round when the car is angled w/ long lines. Still not happy w/ it, but it's something I can work on next year. Getting hot out and want to get the car done before the end of the month.
Wow, just went to ebay to get a pic of the rear section, and it's not available any longer. I think that made this a 1 year only kit, unless you get it through RMagic now.
And that's about a $3,000 or more investment + shipping.
I suddenly feel special!

Thanks for the compliment on the rear fenders - yeah, I have to admit they turned out much better than I had imagined.

owen is fat yeah man that thing is beastly / madmax looking, I love it!
I think the front bumper would look 10x better with an undertray so it looks more professional and finished... just a thought. I never liked being able to see the ground thru aftermarket bumper vents and the wheel wells.
What area are you asking to make look more professional? - I have the two larger open areas where the front signal lights fully vent into the dual IROC Z ram air system.
Looking at the pic, you must be referring to the smaller ducts at the bottom - ok, I can see that. Good suggestion, I'll see what I can do. It would look better if it wasn't see through as well as functional.

racex7 I bet Bruce Wayne is wondering how and why someone broke in the bat cave and stole his hood
Yeah, and was he ticked!
(not nearly as beasty as your motor, but that's still a work in progress as funds allow as well)
hah - found you on the V8RX7 forum - "Horsepower: 635" - that's serious HP!
I am at about 340 HP at this time- but that's a different topic.


Toyo Kogyo - Looks half assed.
I suppose that's why I said it's:

"Still under construction"

panels are not perfect, the body is as exactly as the kit came - wavy.
Parts are not lined up perfectly yet - it's still a mess.

But, no mention as far as I could see in this thread about the car needing to be in show condition.
It just said to show your favorite 2nd gen wide body - so I did.

Thanks,

Troy Fitz.
