Body Kit Help .. 2 pics comparison

I was wondering if some people could compare the following body kits for me, they look close to being the same but I can't tell for sure, the cars pics are taken at different angles.I ask because im looking to purchase a kit for my Rx7 and there is a very considerable price difference between these 2.

The first is Veilside C1 kit while the one following was only labled as 'Invader Style'.
Are they the same?
If not - which would you prefer?





Thanks.

Please tell me you aren't going to buy that body kit.... Buy something different please!! It's really your money, but I am just tired of seeing that kit. It's almost not deserving enough to be on a FD, and you have soooooo many other choices.. Oh and yeah both kits have the same "look" but the VIS one is a knock-off or copy of the original veilside one, which is in the other pic...

the first one is the real veilside made of quality and the second one is made by vis racing, a cheap copy that usually doesn't fit very well.

the vis racing kit is a copy of the veilside so it "looks" the same but not the same quality.

i would suggest looking at an other body kit though if i were you.

I believe that the Invader style is actually the copy of the Vielside kit, but since it is a copy they named it something else. Its out dated and vielside has a new version of that kit, if that is the style you want to go for.

As the others have stated they are the original and copy..and I wouldn't personally go either either of them, they are just way to aggressive and completely do injustice to the FD styling. There are many other much nicer kits that enhance the inherent beauty of the FD. I would suggest you do a little more looking around..

hey man, don't buy off of ebay, I know that's where you are thinking about buying one from. I got one from the guy in Canada that you are looking at. It was a 300zx front bumper though. It was a horrible fit and ended up costing me big $$$$. Moral of the story....you get what you pay for. Just my experience with it.

Where I live anyway its pretty rare to see a really nicely moded car or a nice rx-7 for that matter, my first time seing this kit was only a couple days ago. You guys really think its a totally over done? I kind of like the aggressive look, although it changes the overall look of the rx, at least its different.

The front alone for the Vielside costed as much/more than the entire vis one, the vis pic looks like a good fit, you guys say its **** quality for sure? If later on I do decide on this look veilside is quality?

I'm really considering your opinions so can you guys link me to some nicer kits? , because this is all I could find that looked nice, some of the others looked so basic I really couldn't tell the kit changed anything. I would rather a agressive look than a passive one, I also plan on bringing it up near 350-400hp.

dude, look at QUALITY kits made by C-West, FEED, RE Amemiya, R-Magic, Mazdaspeed, Knightsports, RUN Racing, Veilside and Border just to name a few. even though i hate the look of Veilside kits, they still are quality.

you drive an FD...not a ****** Civic.

Click on the banner for the RX-7store. He has a good amount of kits in there. Also look at www.rxecret7.com and www.takakaira.com .
