thx for your input

 

There's always some minor fittment issues with body parts, but some are better than others. You should search as I'm sure others have bought stuff from them.

It costs quite a bit to get widebidy rear fenders put on.

 

I'm a noob on RX7 cars so I can't comment on the items, but looking at his feedback history, I'd shy away. Too many neutrals and bad feedbacks for my liking!

 

with those over fenders it is pretty much all about body work RACEON is a pretty large brand so im sure they are of reasonable quality all u gotta do is find a seller that isnt going to screw u on shipping price or the amount of time it takes to get to u

 

the bad feedback probably comes from ricers who think they can bolt these things on in 10 minutes and have it fit perfect.

 

Good point!

 

Raceon Usa products fit like f***ing trash. Worst fitting aftermarket **** I've seen in my career.

Will they work? (if you're a body man and can work with fiberglass and have alot of paitence absolutely.

 

it took me 10 hours, without paint, to get a FC2000 front bumper fit perfectly.

body kits take time

 

anyone tried the b-magic fenders? They look the same, i wonder if its the same manufacturer?

 

No idea on that.

But honestly - I doubt there's 5 or 6 places with a mold for a vented fender for the FC. So more then likely - its the same.

 

or one copied the other's part and made thier own mold


some poor slob puts hours and hours into a plug and a mold just to have
someone splash a mold from thier finished piece.

 

Honestly, I have the Raceon 30mm fronts and they fit fairly well. The driver's side practically bolted up. The passenger side needed some massaging, but the car has been hit on that side too. There is a nasty ripple on both of them, but it can certainly be sanded down if I could be bothered (bought them to clear 17x10s for auto-x). For $250 or whatever they want for them its not a bad deal.

 

Garbage, plain and simple.
If you want some real flares, pm me.

 

Can you explain why they are garbage, or are you just giving yourself a plug?

 

Friend has the b-magic kit and there are a few minor gaps and such but from far away it looks perfect.

 

Yes to both

I have seen first hand the lack of quality in their kits. I know someone, a former member of this board, who ordered a kit of theirs to save money instead of forking out for the "real" kit or quality knock-offs (such as Shine Auto). He ended up spending the savings and then some on getting the kit to fit and it still fit looked like crap imho. I really believe they made molds of the original fenders in their loose form not attached to the car). This caused them to twist and warp.

Also, I just don't see why anyone would go through all the trouble and expense just to add 1/2" to 3/4' to each side. Seems pointless.

 

ive decided i just want the fronts... lol so many mixed reactions.. its a good price, and if it take a couple hours for me to coax them into place im cool with that, also my cousin a professional body-sculpter, so if i need ne help he will lend a hand no problem...

so whats the overall consensus here?? they're ok??

 

The overall consensus is they fit like ****. I don't know what you're not reading?

I'd ask the guy who said they bolted up no problem to post a pic of all his gaps and fitment around the fenders on both sides. If you're fine with gaps like that then buy them.

 

raceonusa is a very good company, no issues there.

 

The gaps aren't great at all. They do bolt up easily. They are NOT in any way a show quality piece. I got them for auto-x and haven't even painted them. They were just supposed to be functional flares to replace my rusty stock fronts and they do that just fine. If I had a digital cam I'd be happy to post pics.

 

I've heard of this company way before I heard about shine auto.
