Arrow FD body kit

Hey all,

I'm pricing together a rx-7 project at the moment and I'll likely be picking up a beat up roller for it...meaning I'm looking for body kits for the rx-7 that aren't super outrageous and aren't super outrageously expensive

I stumbled across this picture on the internet and I absolutely fell in love with this car:




upon further searching it looks like the front bumper is a C. West bumper, but I can't figure out what any of the side body panels are...even the doors look different!

so could anyone tell me what the following parts are?
hood
front fenders
side skirts
doors
rearview mirrors








and does anyone have any recommendations for other good looking kits, I'm highly interested in a widebody kit as long as it isn't super outrageous (and expensive) like the veilside...something clean that gives a little more 'curves' to the already sexy FD body

thanks guys

Thanks! I believe you are right arrowspeed

anyone know where you can order re-amemiya parts from? I've got a bit of a mix of parts I'd like to order...

and also, anyone else notice that the rear bumper looks kinda boxy-ish in that pic, and not as round as the stock bumper is? any guesses at what that might be? (lol, I know it is nearly impossible without seeing the rear of the car)

zhe: thanks man, I'll take a look at those
I do like the burnout kit

Yeah it's pretty hard to tell what the rear may be, I just think it could be the kit making the car seem wider.

The hood isn't RE Amemiya. It looks like the Mazdaspeed R spec. It's my favorite hood,but very very expensive.

Here's a thread about it: https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...daspeed+R+spec

Stealing your old post...

hood = Mazdaspeed
front fenders = RE Amemiya AD GT
side skirts = RE Amemiya AD GT
doors = looks like costum
rearview mirrors = APR mirrors. Can be purchased at Vivid Racing.


front bumper = C-West N1-Spec Type 1
front lights = C-West, I know that's the style, but they look more like the Ebay specials then the real thing

PS: can anyone find something out about the colour?
Who and how can paint that colour??

Thanks in advance!

none of those parts are re-amemiya, the kit is from brs designs. The color is from BASF.

BASF is the company who makes the paint, I believe they are actually a chemical company. I dont know what the color code is, just that the paint was ordered from BASF. Just like House of Kolors is a paint company and you can order paint from them.

I've actually replicated the Burnout rear fenders in steel, if that's a route you're interested in taking. I'll be doing the same for the front fenders shortly. Just PM me if interested and I could provide details...

pardon my n00bishness when it comes to body parts, but I am a performance minded guy and never really dabbled in body work lol

but why would steel fenders/flares be advantageous? wouldn't it be really heavy compared to a fiberglass type setup like shine auto offers? I'd also imagine it would be harder to get that mounted up to the body...but again, I am an exterior n00b lol

haha, what's up natey!

oh, what rotary shop did you go to with your car? I think I remember you saying you had to get some work done on yours....I'm weighing out my options, and I think it has narrowed down to an evo or an rx-7 FD and I'll only go with the later if I can get a rebuilt motor by a pro shop dropped in (possibly with a few upgrades teehee, single big turbo?)
