your bumper guard is BAD *** looking. it helps protect the paint and it looks MEAN AS HELL!! that's why i made one for my car back in the days.

what type of front end is on the white FD? it looks kinda like the Sanai (as do the side skirts)... you can get the body kit the red one has on it from RotaryExtreme.com look under the imported from Japan section.

jpandes, I believe that hood is one of the VIS hoods. Check them out at www.visracing.com.
also I think the white car looks bad ***. I like the fact that it has all that carbon on the bumber, it adds character to the car. It shows that they use it and doesn't sit in a garage somewhere. Just my $0.02

This is the first time I have liked this kit. If it was more affordable, I would seriously think about getting it. Beautiful. Really updates the car.

Approx $300-$400 for the set of 4. You'll need to find someone in Japan to get them for you, unless you feel comfortable wiring money directly to Little Garage's bank account. Jason/jt-imports.com was suppose to have contacted them.... I thought the fronts would have worked well with the Pettit flares. Maybe if they were molded into the sheetmetal.

i dont know if its just me... but dont those flares make the 7 look REMARKABLY like an rx8????


im almost digging them although i kind of want to keep my stock lines.... only problem is i want/need to run 335's in the rear, and i think just having the rear ones would look strange.

does anyone have a picture to compare the pettit flares to these flares?? also i remember seeing a picture of the pettit flares MOLDED to the car.... if anyone has a picture of this car you post it as well?? thanks much, heath

Yep I was mainly interested in the front flares to go with the Pettit rear flares since the Pettit's cover up more of the rear tires. Now I got to find a hook-up.

Looks like it is the Vertex rear bumper and Vertex sidestep like the Apexi drift FD.
