FD: BN kit or slammed stock body... need help

Alright,, im having an issue what to do now..

I originally planned, to run stock body with awesome fit ment wheels, Slammed, basically stock body over all( front lip, side steps, and rear diffuser..).

but im starting to like the BN (defend kit) a lot more and more..

if i do go bn, i plan on keeping stock fenders(with an aggressive roll/pull)


(No Wide body for me)


Current set up: 93 bumper, 99 spec lip, JDM fenders(have to pick them up), roof/hatch spoiler(have to pick it up), feed side steps, rear mud flaps, Apexi GT-Spec exhaust.

Wheels i plan on getting: SSR MS1's 18x10 +15 18x11+12


now idk what to what to do.... haha


my other option is to buy another fd. so that way i get to run both styles

heres some pics of both stock body(mostly) and bn and similar kits..

Stock 99 Spec. And boo for slamming that ****. Make it drivable. Last I checked in Japan, nobody is into that stuff anymore. The economy is bad and everyone was driving fuel-efficient cars. Start modding your hybrids, that's the next big JDM thing!

Im probably doing a bn sports defend kit with oem pulled front fenders and greddy rears. I dont like the blister kit all that much. I also dont really like any of the FD front widebody fenders. I come from a burnt out 240 scene where every car almost looks the same. Im starting to find the same in the rx7 comminunity, but weaker. Its either FEED, RE, or burn out and the are all way over priced. Even the replicas kits from vendors on this site are over priced.

i feel the same way.. those are the same reasons for doing this..

im glad to see some one else i can see eye to eye with..


every one chooses the same kits over and over, all to common.. thats why i left the 240 scene back in 07..

yea, the blister is tooo much, but the defend kit looks great. im plan on just flaring the **** out of the fenders and pulling off some 18x11's in the rear.
