Pricing isn't available...........................yet, as I WON'T be the one to determine pricing if this goes through. This is just to get a feel of how many of you like these sideskirts, and how many would be willing to buy a fiberglass replica kit.

I know. Some people tell me they aren't screaming enough for them, and some people tell me they fit perfectly to the RX-7.

I love them - it was down to my Apex or the OEMs specially imported here. Economics won out though, as that I could not justify $1000+ for them. If the replicas fit as well as the originals, you can't go wrong IMHO.

Are the oem ones that hard rubber material? I like those sideskirts but not for $1000. If the fiberglass was cheap enough I might get some.

Brand new, the OEMs are $1200+ in Japan. They ARE made of a hard but flexible rubber. The replicas would be made out of fiberglass.

Like I said, I wouldn't have an idea on pricing, since I'm just trying to see how many people would jump on it if there was a group buy on it. Chuck, from rotaryextreme would be the one to decide what the pricing would be. He was asked if he would be interested, and he replied yes if there were enough people interested in them.

Thx Flybye

Thanks for starting a new tread, Rotaryextreme did mention that he can fabricate replicas if there's a minimum order of 10. I'm sure that the price will be reasonable and I wouldn't mind having fiberglass as a material for sideskirts.

I agree Flybye is one lucky bastard

I guess everybody is still recuperating from the holiday expenses. IMO the OEM sideskirts complements the beautiful lines of the FD especially if you like the JDM look.

This is why I like the Feed front end. It's suttle enough to flow beautifully with the curves of the FD, but agressive enough to show that you have a race car
