GP Sports



GP Sports just debuted a new FC3S body kit...and surprise surprise - last week the US Distributor opened up their web site! I have a GP Sports body kit for a 240sx. It's pretty nice. Kurgan: prices aren't listed but they should be in the low teens.

I just called them to get some pricing... the kit will be available next month

Front end - $700
Skirts - $575
Spoiler - $450
Rear end - $615

The mirrors on that car are not FC mirrors, and they are not GP mirrors... the guy said that he didn't know what they were but that they weren't going to be offereing them... I like my mirrors more anyhow...

Just FYI for those who might be interested....

The side skirts look like R-Magic side skirts, but they're not quite the same. Very similar though. I have the full R-Magic kit for FC3S.

That looks nice, and it's good to see an FC body kit which is actually available in the US for a change. Too bad it doesn't have flares for 20B-sized wheels. Maybe they will offer an FC widebody kit soon?

Off to the 2Gen forum where it belongs so that the 13B proletariat can check it out.

So, I'm not the only one looking for rear fender flares that aren't rediculously sized? Last night, I had a conversation with E6KT2 about this... this fall, expect some rear fender flares available from us... I only want 3" on each side... are you looking for something more drastic?

OMFG, that is abosolutly Buetifull, i've found the kit i want. I must get that once i get my Rex, I know that will get the chix (not the point of having a schweet car, but definetly a large bonus)

Is it just me, or do i see serious Camber probs on that car.

I want something that matchs the stock lines, and just extends the stock flares (they are flared stock very slightly) about 2"-3".... The closest thing i've seen to this so far is the feed kit, which is just insanly overpriced and still a bit too big...

I hate body kits that you can look at and say "Thats a body kit"

LOL, this isn't an option, as we are going to NEED flares on our 20B cars in order to accomodate the tires. In my case, I will need wider front tires, too. My car isn't exactly what you would call a sleeper or a show car, so I'm just interested in being functional. I'm probably going to go with a GTO-style kit.

OMG that car is so hot

I am speechless. Sign me up for the front at least!

That kit looks amazing. It flows well too, everything matches! Looks like it belongs on the car, not mismatched or anything

god i love it

Whats the phone # to this company!? I will set up wholesale with them (if they do it), and get that front ASAP!You win some you lose some with wholesale discounts, but if its a worthwhile price drop maybe I can save you guys some $ on that kit.

Is it just me or does that look a lot like the B&N kit in the last Option isuue?

This instantly became my new favorite kit. I like a lot of body kits but there is always one piece I don't like. I can't say that about this one. I love everything from the front bumper to that beautiful wing. I have something to save my money for now.

First off, I'm a newbie, and I read the new post rules. I ran a search and didn't come up with an answer. Anyways, I'm assuming that that hood is stock?

Kurgan, you mentioned prices for everything except the hood. So again, I assume its stock. What year/model RX-7 did that hood come from?

My uncle has an 88' that I'll be buying soon as a PJ car, but his and the other models I've seen don't have that style hood.

Hmmm....the car does look really interesting however the only part that I like is probably the front end. The spoiler, for what it is, is completely over priced. But I think it would look killer for the front end to be on my car but it is a little over priced for my likes. But hey it is cool they are finally bringing some body kits over here. Oh and the reason why I havn't been asking stupid questions and pissing people off is because I have been in Okinawa for a couple of weeks.

you lucky little!!!
the bumper isn't really overpriced, $550 or whatever inukai is advertising is great for a shipped price on a japanese piece

GP has a US distributor so we'll compare those prices to the gray market prices. I have a friend of a friend who is the owner of the company acting as the US distributor. I will be contacting them tommorrow.

I will let you know.

thanks, Rishie
