Feed Replica Side Skirts?
These are the nicest side skirts I have seen. Nothing huge and bulky traveling up half the side of the car. Nothing you have to paint. Just clean and subtle which is what my car is all about. I like the stock look, with just a little aggression.

But...... I don't want to pay near a grand for the Feed Carbon Fiber Side Skirts, or Side Defusers I have seen some websites say. I just want that clean look, I am not racing my car, I am not concerned with weight.
I did a few searches but came up with nothing.
Thanks,
Joseph

Since you decided to have the other one deleted, here is the url again. https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...highlight=Feed
I searched for "FEED" in the Interior/Exterior section. It was the second result...

If you want, get the replica from rotaryextreme which is around $500-600 if memory serves me right. Anyways, here is the site www.rotaryextreme.com

Thanks Diablone. i did many searches but didn't search specifically in the exterior section.
That thread you sent me is ok, mentioned Rotary Extreme but I don't like the sounds of the deal or his previous work. I have read many other threads where he argues with customers or others etc.
Sounds like a bad Ebayer if you ask me and I won't do business with him.

I have seen some replica kits and they looked crappy. The fiberglass was really wavy and looked horrible after painting. Are these different? If they are, post pics. I do not want to spend money on a real body kit when I could put the extra money into performance with a replica body kit that looks the same.

I don't see why replicas are still so expensive. I just want plastic ones I can paint.
We should do a group buy, and have that up front money buy the actual original Feed side skirts and then make molds from them. Make them in plastic and it shouldn't cost but 30 bucks or less for a set.
Not that I want to take money away from Feed. But I think they should have a non carbon fiber set. I would pay 200.00 for them if they existed. But not 700 for replicas.
It can't be that hard.

$30 or less for a set? You obviously have never had any experience creating anything like these. Even though they are just replicas of another companies work, materials are going to exceed that cost alone. Also, Rotary Extreme replicas are generally reguarded as as high of quality, or in some cases better than the original.

Sounds like a challenge. It might take me a year, but I will try. I travel for business monday through thursday. So I won't have much time.
I'll keep you posted.
