Name this kit!

I'm trying to find out which body kit this is for my FC. I was told that it was finish line, but research told me that that would be a three piece front and rear bumper made from plastic. This is one piece and frp.

I haven't seen any like it. Let me know what you think.

I'm not sure. I know Mazdatrix sells the kit though. You might try calling them to see who the manufacturer is.

Doesn't look like the same kit. Looks like the old Finish line kit that you could get from the factory. Maybe Mariah?

I had the Finishline kit and that is not it.
As I said in another thread,I think it is Kanamari..or maybe Erebuni.

So it does look like the one on the mazdatrix page near the bottom. I cant seem to find and erebuni or kaminari kits that look the same. I do believe it is the mazdatrix one. I will try giving them a call.

I looked through the Mazdatrix link again and somehow missed the one towards the bottom some how. It does look like the same kit

i called mazdatrix about a car that had the same kit once.

as it turns out the molds were sold from one manufacturer to another over the years. they told me that at one point wings west owned them and a few other companies. now, mazdatrix owns the molds.

in effect they are mazdatrix pieces but its anyone's guess who the original manufacturer was.

Hmmm that is interesting. Thanks for the bit of history. What are people's thoughts on the kit? Would you say that it is more desirable with a mystery manufacturer?

if you want something thats "valuable" then just buy something veilside or over priced.

otherwise i think its kinda cool. suits the vintage of the car.

Pacific is the original producer of this kit.
Here are some vintage ads, excuse the horrible quality.

Speaking of this kit, have any of you ever seen the wing in person? I don't know if I like it or not but it would be cool to have the complete kit.

I've seen it a couple times over the past 15 years. Very rare. Just as rare as the Pacific glass sunroof/moonroof.

I have the spoiler on my car. It is subtly different from OEM but not as extreme as the Kaminari.
I don't think it had provisions to mount, so it was riveted to the car by the original owner.

It does match the sunroof though!

Awesome! Do you have any pics? It's really difficult to see it clearly in the ads.

The Pacific one has 2 tabs on each side that enter the inner edges of the hatch sill.
I had that spoiler and just screwed the spoiler to the car with round headed screws.
It did not hit the glass or hurt the hatch seal and secured the spoiler just fine.

it was actually the easiest spoiler I ever had to install..like a 5 minute job.

I've got the spoiler.. And a glass moonroof. However mine is saratoga as it doesn't have the plastic round pieces in the glass like pacific. And mine is bronze tinted.
