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

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

hood = Mazdaspeed
front fenders = RE Amemiya AD GT
side skirts = RE Amemiya AD GT
doors = looks like costum
rearview mirrors = unknown
front bumper = C-West N1-Spec Type 1

Who and how can paint that colour??
Thanks in advance!

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

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?)
