Why is it that your posts are never helpful? He's looking for comparison pictures and opinions as lower quality kits often require much more work to fit well.

I get tired of seeing the whole, "google it" response. This is a forum specifically for rx7s. Whats so bad about this guy having a single thread with narrowed down pictures of replica kits where people are welcome to discuss? If everything was google'd there would hardly be a reason for this forum at all right?

Not trying to make this a pissing contest, but if you spent half as much time talking about rx7s as you do about google searches we'd already have some interesting info in here.


Back on topic..

When I get home I'll post some pictures of my knock off gp kit. Just be prepared with flaws that come from the molds. I had to do a lot of sanding to my rear bumper as there was a lump a fiberglass along the trim line. Pics soon.

The front bumper was actually pretty good, but I have a feeling the side skirts are gonna take a lot of effort to fit right. Those are next on the list. I remember seeing a build thread where someone fitted an aftermarket gp kit on a vert. It took a lot of work but the finished product looked great.

Oh and also, the ftp and turn signal holes required some sanding so the lights would fit properly.

justin pawlacks kits are pretty nice. i bought the BN version 2 from hotline. fit is almost perfect. packaging was great. he is easy to work with.

no pics of it fully mounted but here is an idea with the kit half falling off. no sideskirts that are 3" too long. no twisted bumpers. no raw fiberglass


halfway through a color change and nothing mounted solid yet.
