don't expect to get many positive opinions about this sort of thing here, the majority of the people one rx7club still act like an FD is a some super special rare exotic car

I like the stock look more but i think the BN kit won't look that bad if you use stock fenders.

It sounds like you want to have something different and the BN kit suits that well(not a lot of people have a BN kit).

that really has nothing to do with the original question, it's similar to me saying "your opinion is invalid because you actually own a hayabusa"

see? it has nothing to do with the original question either, but it's still relevant

Well about 90% of the cars on the post your FD thread are lame. Im sure when my car is done it will get a lot of flack. Do i care ? not really. Stock body fd's look good when the owner adds the right stance and wheel fitment.

I think the URAS front lip spoiler would compliment the slammed look with the 99 sides/Feed undersides/RE-A pro diffuser with side generators......

if your goin for the drifter look, go with the kit. the slammed on stock body look would put you in the "poor drifter" look category. that would be hypocritical lol

Pop, stock it, drop it.

chicka chicka

Yeah, serious note though...Rolled fenders on stock body with '99 conversion, tucked 18's or 19's....yeah, full of win.

I'm saving up to have my Burnout fenders painted/installed on my FD, then I'm planning on running some 19's and dropping the bisch to the floor. :P

:Facepalm:


reason fitment isnt superb, is because most of the time bumpers are ziptied, theres not point in bolting on the bumper well because most likley your going to smash it ...
