I would be a bit careful with Extreme Dimensions. Make sure that the kit you're buying from them is made by them and not outsourced as some of their parts are. I've seen two kits come from them that were not left on the mold to cure long enough and the fiberglass was all f'd up. Turns out they got busy and sent some of the stuff out to be produced. Just beware.

I have it right know and they are the biggest pieces of **** I have ever seen. If you try to fit the front bumper into place it starts to crack because its so hard. It should be a little flixible. The sides skirts didn't even fit. The only way they would fit would be if I cut the panels . The back bumper would be the only thing that works a little but has some areas that are thicker than others (this is also on all the other parts).
If this isn't enough (which it should be), the parts are not even an exact copy. The sides skirts, front and rear bumper aren't the same as the real c-west. If you want a cheap but perfect replica ask Chuck about it at Rotary Extreme. He will hook you up. Tell him that Gustavo sent you because you were thinking of buying a blue fiberglass kit from Extreme Dimensions. He saw my parts and said they were ****. Jason at www.rx7store.net then saw the pics and said the same. Then after talking with Chuck for a while he said that his was a "plug and play". I then asked Jason and he confirmed. When the sides skirts came they fit like a glove. After that I ordered the front and back without thinking it twice. That my friend was some good quality fiberglass.

GOOOOOOOOD!
I took the other fiberglass out and put the rotary extreme one on, it was like a glove. The rotary extreme fiberglass is a little flexible so it won’t brake as soon as something hits hit but hard so it stays in place. It kind of looks like a rubber or polyurethane bumper.
I knew I had lost my money on the first kit when the rotary extreme fit like if it were a 99 spec bumper. Extremely happy on the results.

a) actually increases performance or at least doesn't decrease it -- the Kazerra KZ-S only fits the FD in 18x7. That's 1" skinnier than the stock wheels. It's a Civic wheel.
b) doesn't look like the kind of wheel you see on every Civic coming down the street....

You can spend alot of money, and get some fikse FM-5's, Volk CE's, or for that matter, any Volk wheels are fine, any advan's (get the RG's). You have an FD, save up and get some good wheels.

Truth US Fiberglass
For all of you guys that either can't afford JDM or original manufac products. Here are some helpful hints to know who has what and what is decent to buy from who...
GTP - in the american aero market Import Fan is one of the cheapest, most unreliable companies to deal with. They do not manufacture enough parts to supply most of the time and even the parts they stock 85% of the time they do not fit. Sure they offer a lot on their web site but usually when you call to check stock they wont have the product coming in any time soon 40:60 fitting ratting and are not getting better
Extreme Dimensions - pretty much ED copies everything from the company they buy parts from... Import Fan. What happens when you buy ill-fitting parts and copy them.. you get an even worse product. Their application list is about 30:70 for the parts that fit and are not getting better. As well they buy from many other companies out there
VIS - very well known company that has the name over the products. From most manufactures in the market they have a decent fitment. Since there name is large in the aero community VIS feels they dont need to imporve on quality since they dont suffer in sales... still a pretty good company 70:30 fitment, good application list and getting bigger but quality is luke warm
Versus - if they have urethane for your car its cheaper than wings west and not that bad... it isnt the greatest urethane but its ok. there fiberglass is not much to be desired. as you can tell the money is in urethane and they do not concentrate on fiberglass which is made for most of the FCs and FDs fiberglass 40:60
AIT - this company is coming up in ranks, yet there fiberglass is still 65:35. but this company is striving to compete in the fiberglass market along with some carbon fiber products. they will soon offer true wide body kits for the FCs and FDs this fall. company is young but on the right path, still a lot to improve but as far as fitment and quality its not bad and very comparible to VIS but makeing exclusive designs to keep it fresh

And who the **** are you? I love how new companies troll our forums trying to bad mouth their competitiors. Nice try buddy.
Can't wait what kind of ricer things AIT will provide for the FD's

Ok Fumunch
If you weren't so quick to loud mouth you would learn something. I never said anything that wasn't true about any company. Sure, if you have money to waste why dont you test out all of differnt companies out their and you will come to the same conclusion that i previously wrote.
I didnt take any one companies side, if they make a good product ill use it, it just seems when people call these companies to buy parts they may not know what to expect and thats all i was doing.
anyway im not apologizing for anything.. go ahead buy away! some people cant afford Uras kits or mazda speed but they still want there car to look good. Im just shedding some light. Sorry if i offended your company... and yes i do have experience in the market
