Who makes the best and cheapest wide body kits? Looking to do it on my 88 and need advice and hopefully pictures to check out.

 

maybe try ebay i saw some for 500 duraflex i think

 

A good quality, decent fitment body kit will not be cheap. The cheaper the kit, the more problems with fitment and durability you will have. When it comes to body kits, it's true you get what you pay for.

 

those 2 words dont belong in the same sentence. cause if its cheap, its probably gonna fit like garbage, be thin and just not worth the $$$.

 

Body kits in general tend to fit like garbage though. It's just a general rule of thumb that any kit will need some degree of modification to fit correctly and match the stock body lines. It just so happens that the cheaper the kit, the more must be done to make it fit.

 

I am a custom bodyman so making something fit is no issue, but i was looking for something along the line of a urethane kit. You can check out some of my work here---> http://s23.photobucket.com/home/steve69stang

 

If you can do good work then get whatever kit you want then reinforce/trim it to your needs.

 

Well in that case I would go with ebay.

 

I wouldn't. support the REAL RX7 community, and but a decent kit from corksport or mariah ($$).

here, this should give you something to do for a while:

Thats just what i was looking for, The mariah kit is the one, thanks.

 

I guess I should have clarified "Cheap" meaning who to buy from in the competitive form not in a cost issue, I would expect to pay more than 2k for a good kit but want to buy from the cheapest source. I hate when i buy something from someone and see it a day later 100 bucks cheaper.

 

To get the crap perfect that is bought off ebay you need to do a few things to it first.
1- Lay on ground and jump on it until you her alot of cracking
2- Find the box the kit came in
3- Pick whats lift of kit off ground and throw into box
4- Find dumpster to throw box into
5- Find reputable company that doesnt mass produce and knows not to remove parts from molds until fully cured.
Hand laid fiberglass or carbon fiber is great when urethane kits are not available.

I have had many customers ask me to install the "ebay crap" and it usually costs them more for the install than they wanted to spend, most of the time you have to cut these kits into pieces and rebuild them to get them to fit properly.

 

Ha I went to that Wiki link under Mariah they used pics of my car

 

HA! i never knew such a place exsisted... thats pretty darn cool.

 

Witch one is yours?
How is the fit and finish?
And most importantly, ANY MORE PICS I CAN LOOK AT??

 

mariah has a bunch of pictures on their website.

 

The blue one in that wiki link is mine. I did all the body work & had no real problems getting things lined up. You being a body man should have no problems at all. Be prepared to spend a little on a set of wheels to finish off the look.
