Dude you want a supra style wing....


Find a supra and rip off the wing. Our cars are not rice rockets man they are rotary rockets. I know this is an area of personal preference but "kits" come on.

Sounds like a honda owner

Forget Interior. Forget Kits. Forget Wings. Go out and buy yourself some performance parts.

heh, fuel injection is still what the car runs on, as for wanting to look different, these guys all want cars that do nothing but go fast, I'm fairly sure they'd all strip their cars to nothing in an effort to be more race-like. Supra wing...you can probably also order one of these maybe from a Toyota dealership? As for body kits, look up Knightsports, Re-Amemiya (sp?), there's a actually quite a few kits for the car, just none of them are very cheap...nor are there thousands of different kits like a certain Ricer type of car

You're starting off on the wrong foot. First, learn how to maintain and keep the car running good, oil change, filter change, coolant flush, tune-up, plugs, plug wires. Start there, you'll be glad you did, oil changes ever 3,000 miles (be sure to check your oil often as rotary's burn oil), and you'll have a car that lasts a lot longer than if you just started bolting **** on from the start!

OK, first of all, you need to understand what you have. It is a Mazda RX-7. The main nemesis of the RX-7 is the Supra. Putting a Supra wing on an RX-7 is like putting a Chevy sticker on a Ford. You could certainly do it, and it has been done, but I suggest choosing an RX-7 or universal wing instead. Also note that RX-7 owners are typically "old school", and generally don't like "rice" add-ons typical of the non-sportscar owners who try to make their car look like a real sportscar.

Here are some more body kit and spoiler links:

http://www.gpsports-na.com/
http://www.takakaira.com/
http://www.aerodyne.net/

I suggest that you spend your time and money on basic upkeep, and then move to hotrod parts and pieces once you understand the car better and are fairly sure that it is in good working order. Two web sites currently offer a free online service manual. Please be sure to check out the service schedule in the front of the manual.
