i dont even know where to begin..um rx7's dont have low beam light cover there called flash to pass(FTP) covers..your body kit will not have the holes for them most people leave them out with a kit anyway and no your kit will not just bolt up you prob need to drill holes in the FG to make it work then use double sided tape on the sides to make it fit snuggly to the fender/quarter panel...that would be the basics then most aftermarket kits fit horrible and it will not look good(rice)... its a lot more complicated than you think...just throw on a front lip(shine,corksport) and lower it then call it a day..our cars do not look good with body kits for the most part. if you want to make it look good than the body shop has to fill in all cracks with putty and prime/paint which will cost twice as much as your kit in the first place..

No body kits fit right on. They need a lot of preping and adjusting before they go on.

You'll need a body shop or someone experienced with body work.
