Personally I prefer the RE Amemiya AD Facer N-1 and AD-GT side skirt/rear fender flair/front 1/4 panel. The red SCOOT car features their front end with the carbon splitter/dive planes, but the older version of the AD side panels. www.re-amemiya.co.jp You can see the full kit on their white car. The whole kit is essentially;
AD Facer N-1 front facia
front facia undertray/splitter(carbon, kevlar, frp)
dive planes(carbon, kevlar, frp)
rear undertray diffuser (carbon, kevlar, frp)
AD-GT side kit (skirts, front 1/4 panel, rear fender flairs)
GT wing
RE light kit
I can't remember what the total is, but it's around $5K in Japan total. It's also highly functional and is used on their 2000-spec Tsubaki circuit champ (57.3 seconds or something crazy like that)


Mazdaspeed's new GTC kit (A-spec?) apparently doesn't look like the blue car we've all been seeing. There's a new GTC, as featured in RX7 Magazine #11 (Japan) and it features a totally different nose. Same side skirts/rear/rear wing however, but no HID light kit.

The FEED stuff has always been nice. They have a type III now too, not nearly as elegant as the Type II. One could always take the type I and have the front combo light area modified to take the 99-spec combo lights. In Japan it cost $950. Here, $1800. Takakaira can ship it for $380 ocean freight or $550 airfreight. www.pac-gate.co.jp/feed

Actually Mazda is calling that the "R" spec kit. Got home and pulled both RX7 editions (No. 10 for the kit with the HID lights and #11 for the "new" version) to check out the differences. Both feature that same "bottom feeder" look, with the mouth and oil cooler passages. The main difference is a) the lack of the HID lighting, standard pop-up lights and b), whereas the first incarnation of the R spec features that single round, orange turnsignal, the latest version has the 99-spec combo lights in it's place. I believe the second version, sans HID lights, is the one being offered for sale.

The R-Spec also features a new, one piece carbon fiber intake/intake duct.

IMHO, hopefully they don't let the same designers who designed this body kit design the lines on the new RX7...

I thought they had it up on their web page...I saw it in #9 or #10 RX7 magazine...Scanner isn't hooked up at the moment. Maybe tomorrow if I get a chance. It looks a lot like the R-Magic N-1 front end but with the normal 99-spec lights. I really don't care for it at all.
