pics - OEM bodykit rears??? any clue??

Well this is new. The add say's they're part of the OEM bodykit for the fc3s, but I've never seen these before.

Ever seen pics of these on a car?

These are 2nd Gen supposively.

The other accessory I'd like is a glass moonroof for a 2nd gen - but those weren't made that I know of.

That's not all the peices that were included in the OEM "Mazda Aero Kit". There's a black rubber? spoiler asd well, and a chin for the front bumper. Someone posted a factory picture of a stock RX7 with all those pieces on it, and that was the first time I'd seen them too!

Maby it's just the way they're turned.

Guess they go in the A postion and not the B postion like I thought.

Update: - no, they couldn't go A position because the 2nd piece is in the front of the car - now I'm really confused.



Just bought the 1 piece chin (aka vanity skirt) and I've already got the 2 side skirt pieces on my TII (see pic below). So where would these go on my car?

I have those! They are mounted in front of the rear wheels, with the fat end facing the rear wheel well. On the subject of the Sport model, can someone point me to a site with more in-depth info on this car. Was this the model previous to the GTU? Lighter weight and same power?

Thanks all,
Brian

Hey, that might be it. Could these be mudflaps? - they sort of look like the 1st picture.

BTW - what color is that? I'm assuming it's not stock. Very nice.

Unlike some, I like the bodystripes.

It was mazda idea of a Aero Kit. They were designed to force the incoming air down below the tire not straight at it. They felt that aerodynamicly they could pick up a 10th of a second on a long straight for racing. We have run them on and off of our IT car and never found a difference.

Yeah, that wouldn't do much for downforce. Maby something similar to the integrated Lamborgini spoiler would help a bit.
