Maybe it's just my mind slipping, but I actually think that kit looks good... it actually fits on the car for one... and it doesn't **** with the lines much either.. the side skirts are a bit off.. but that front bumper isn't bad... atleast in the picture...

i dunno whats the big deal over changing the body of the car... i don't have one yet but i am planning on getting one and i am not saying the first thing i would do is pretty it up but if you think about all the weight you can take away by replacing bumbs and hoods with either fiber glass components or carbom fiber then it would make sence to do so. exspecially if you want your car to be a speed machine.

Just my 2 cents!

As long as its not a 4foot wing... I personally like kits I want one just cant find one for a reasonable price The only thing I dont like on my Rx7 is the factory front bumper, way to plain it needs to be more aggresive. Does any one know where I could get the one pictured in "another"

One of the Best looking kits made for the FC in my opinion. It's a Knightsports.




The RE Amemiya is also a Looker. Sorry Chuck I stole it from you site cause it's the only place I knew of that had a good pic like that of it.

replacing the factory's small, light, URETHANE parts with thicker, heavier, far-less aerodynamic body "kits" or add-ons (like the skirts, "wings" that don't work, "wide body" kits, etc) is not going to help you build a speed machine.

the only bits i'd think about using are competition-derived RE Amemiya and the like... even though some are ugly, the above kit is pretty ok, but you seriously SERIOUSLY don't need the canard diffusers on the front there... there are much more clever ways to make downforce on the front than that (those are what're allowed by the rules, however).

If the kit is worth half or more what you paid for the car it is rice!

Um most all body kits are going to give you any performance gains unless you see alot of high speed turns.

BTW- If you get a really $$ kit, get the GP sports kit. Its nice, oh and dont put a wing on it.

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!

So many people keep saying that.

FYI if I did decide to make them they would be $200 or less. No plans to do it, though.

The aluminum hoods are damn light as is, not worth 500$ to get a CF one IMO. The fenders and bumpers are damn light, getting cf ones for weight reasons is the stupidest thing ive heard.

What? But they make carbon fiber fenders for my eclipse, but they are pointless? He He

Getting a lightweight bodykit sounds gay to me. $3000 for 20-30lbs, ya that makes sense...
