Hi i just found this pic. Could anyone tell me if this is a Mazda concept car or if it is a show car from a tuning company? Thanks

OIC. Looks bad *** tho. I also found this pic, from the Tokyo motor show. It was at the Mazda stand, but it looks like a Mazdaspeed kit (GT-C?). Any feedback appreciated. Also I'd like to know where I can get the R-spec kit.

Jason at www.rx7store.net has the R-Spec kit, buy from him, he owns this forum.. And the second pic you posted is the GTC kit.. you can get that one from him too.

here's the one Jason has, it uses the 99 spec lights, overall it costs a little more than a real C-West kit..

You are right Johnny, I didn't even think about that. Sorry. So are two versions then? Hmm.. I guess he could get that one if he wanted to use the 99 spec lights and didn't want the R-Spec headlights.

Yeah I noticed that the spot between the top of the headlight cover and the hood, theres an air vent that comes out on the top of the hood. Plus I've never seen that light kit before. Might be interesting to those guys looking for an OEM-type light kit.

everything on that car is mazdaspeed....including the light kit...

and the answer in NO to the sticky thread about light kits, we are not interested in anything that does not fit the existing area..

Jeez Johnny. Sorry, but I still need to find out where I can get the lights. They weren't on (www.mazdaspeed.net), so where do I go to get 'em?

that's the old MS concept. They decided to ditch that and went with the ones that Jason sells at the rx7store.

yeah i think the one rx7store.net sells is the real deal.. if they are not then that is pretty expensive for replicas don't you think? But i do think they are eral.

here is a link for the r-spec

I dont mean anything bad buy it ...it's JimLabs requirements to keep it as simple as possible...There is lots of interest in his upcoming light kit...and well if you have to get a new front bumper with it...interest would go to pot

For those interested in the R-Spec stuff I talked with the distributer and they dont have a ship date yet. That means it wont reach the states for a couple of months.
When it does im getting this for my car
