That wing is nice as hell though (not the convertible one). You might as well get a testarossa kit..

I hate it. You can tell right away it was made in the 80's, it really dates the car.

kit

i'll have to disagree. personally i like it. yes there are better looking kits, but you'll have to mortgage the house to buy them. that kit could be updated. cut out the slats in the front maybe add some grill insert material, put a carbon fiber splitter under the nose piece.

i heard they don't make the back anymore.

The kit isn't too bad. The wheels and the '80's haired lady really do make the car look '80's though.

I think it's alright- not too wild. The wheels REALLY ruin the looks of the car though.

I like it as it fits the flow of the basic lines of the car. If it doesn't look like it could have been stock, it looks like an add on.

Wheels, absolutly need updated to current trends. Also, send the girl to Nordstroms for an updated body kit (clothes and hair) and definitly wouldn't mind taking home to meet mom. :-)

My opinion, the add on look makes the car look like a bastard child.

My opinion, so take it as you will. :-)

Yea, their warehouse caught fire a while ago, and the mold to make the kit was ruined. I think the only peice you can still get is the front....dunno, maybe the side skirts too....but deffinately not the rear!

Ha ha, it's easy to see that none of you have actually seen this on an FC, in real life and not in photos. Best looking kit I've ever seen for the FC -- the pictures from Kaminari make the kit look like crap. Pictures never do cars justice...

Rx7style: I have seen the kit on your car and it looks good, I think IMO the kit looks better on a darker colour car.

Yes, the pictures on the website don't do anything for the kit at all, I never even considered it. When I saw rx7style's car in person, it's one of the nicest fc's I've ever seen with that kit and spoiler! Way better than the Kombat kit available for the FC.
