RE-Amemiya bodykit

RE amemiya is selling the 2005 JGTC championship bodykit for the rx7. Price for the whole kit (including the hood) is for $698.000jp ($6500).

Not bad considering the 1997 kit is $10,000 @ rotaryextreme









IWANNA SEE WHAT YOU GUYS THINK ABOUT THE KIT!

Yeah, I'm not too pleased with that bodykit. I'm a huge fan of bodykits, but I want something smooth that blends in. That looks too chunky.

the aero parts used on the real GT car are much wider/more agressive than RE's scaled down street versions. still cool though.

IMO... It's baddass! Although, for a streetcar, it may be a bit too much... When I was at JGTC, I was at the Amemia pit watching the crew do their thing. I was in complete awe of the car. (This was however before I had an FD). Badass none-the-less, badass...

The street version is more tone down. it needs the JGTC lights to complete the kit as well as the wing.

I think we're missing the point of this aero kit.If you want something for the street or just for looks then there are plenty of options out there,but this kit ,even scaled down,is still meant for those who compete and want the additional downforce and aren't part of a major race team.If you like the look and can part with the cash then go for it,but PLEASE don't rice it out like another infamous orange 7 with enough dimestore crap on it to qualify as a carnival ride!I'm okay with big wings and stickers but somewhere you have to draw the line.

Not the best looking kit in town, but probably useful for racing

Absolutely. If they released THE ACTUAL JGTC kit, I would very well might have to sell a sibling and get it. But this kit looks NASTY. It's literally a toned down kit that looks horrible IMO. The actual JGTC car looks very wild, but it goes well w/ the car, and believe it or not, in person, the car looks like it flows very well. Or maybe that was my drool all over it smoothing out the rough edges LOL

Bottom line, I'm disappointed they even bothered to release such a half-*** job of the JGTC kit.
