Hey Rx-7 peps, would it be possible to put a C-West FD front bumper on a 86 Rx-7?? If so how much modifying do you think you would need? Thanks

 

In the interior section i've seen a FC with a whole FD front end. I'm sure it tkes alot of work but search for it there.

The FD is about 5" wider than a FC so you'd have some work to do. Anything is possible though.

 

do you think that would look a little tacky on an FC?

 

i think if you just do the front bumper and not teh whole front it might look a little strange. I know RE sells some of teh bumper that are for FDs for FCs. But where in KS is neodesha?

 

really where could i find the place that sells the bumper that are for Fd's for Fc's???
Neodesha is in southeast kansas, about 150 miles south of kansas city.

 

I know that I've seen a pic floating around here that showed one. Seach for it. It was about a year ago that I saw it.

 

good idea... so people will be like: WOW thats a third gen rx-7 even though its not... imo thats ultimate rice putting a fd bumper on an fc... its like putting skyline lights on an accord...

 

its totally doable

first you gotta get a cwest kit which cost a lot, then you gotta mold it on. i suggest just buying/renting a fd, buying a cwest kit, then making a 1 peice front end with the hood and lights integrated, then put it on the front of a fc and mold it to the fc front fenders.

good luck

 

damn , sounds like a lot of work, whats the est. of cost this project would be?

 

I have a c west fd bumper on my miata. Me and my buddy have about 40 hours in so far and we still have to fix a few cosmetic spots on it. You can do anything if you got the time.

 

I remember seeing you at dropjaw greenville. I had the red RX-7 with the veilside kit that did the donuts at the greenville event.

I saw you at myrtle beach too. It looked like you had put a veilside wing on you car. I never got to see it up close but it looked good rolling down the strip.
