Tri Point Wide Body

I've searched google, yahoo, ebay and about every rx7 store i can find, but to no avail. Can anyone point me in the right direction for the tripoint fender and quarterpanel kit? or at least a knock-off?
thanks guys

They don't make them anymore but there is a knock-off company that makes some poor quality replicas of them.

Or you could check out what I have available, They are wider, look better (imho) and actually cover up the wheel and tire.

i honestly think an rx7 needs to look like an rx7, and the 8 extra inches on the sides makes it look way... ugly in my opinion

those are the ones i was thinking off

Those are kiddie flares for wannabes and you could achieve that by rolling and flaring the stock sheet metal which looks a whole lot better...in my opinion.

The Tri-Points the original poster is asking about add 3" to each side and don't even fully cover the wheels making rock chips a huge problem.

To each their own.

What does it matter what your opinion is if the intentions are to have wide tires/wheels fit legally, and safely, for street use under the fenders. Function over form means more to some people.

alright thanks guys, i found what i was looking for. raceonusa does make a replica called a 338. Anyways, i didnt want the fender package because they have all those silly vents and slits. I just wanted something that retained basic body lines with a little more aggresive stance.

i gave my opinion and a link to some wider fenders and quarters

i do believe that what is it 30mm? adds to the width of the car and allows for wider wheels and tires correct?

just because it doesn't add enough to run a 12 inch wide tire, doesn't mean that its form over function
