Final Konnexion bodykit - Where to get it?

I've been wanting the Final Konnexion bodykit for my FD since before I even got the car. But I'm having a hard time finding out where too buy the kit.

http://www.finalkonnexion.co.jp/

I sent them e-mail many months ago, never received any answer.

The kit is the same as what Calvin Wan used to have on his FD. I'm also interested in the extra lip that he had.







Red one, which is the color of my own car:

joastarlet, to me it looks like exactly the same kit But I noticed that RaceOnUSA uses their car to sell the Raceon Hiflex kit: http://www.raceonusa.com/index.asp?P...OD&ProdID=5096

The 93-97 RX-7 VANISH FULL BODY KIT from streetconcept looks similar and has potential I think. $749.

Anyone shopped from streetconcept before?

Calvin Wan's FD is awesome with that kit.

I'd def. send an email to Ramy at FDNewbie Imports though for getting the kit.

I would rather like the simpler (non-widebody) kit from BN Sports kit:

http://bn-sports.co.jp/2door/fd_rx7_t1.html

scrubolio, the Vertex kit is used by the Japanese APEXi car, and not the US one which is what Calvin was driving. You can see the difference here:



I do like the Vanish more and more, it has a longer/higher tail (closer to the ground) than the Final Konnexion which Calvin had, and Vanish is pretty cheap compared to a full Vertex which is $2100. Widebody version is $2625.

Someone else in this group posted a thread asking about the same kit as we're discussing here, with some better photos so I'm posting them here.

Vanish is more open in the front than the Final Konnexion, which would mean more air for my Greddy FMIC.



versus




But I'm not to sure about the "***"... it's pretty big and not too good looking.

I have not seen an aftermarket rear bumper on an rx7 that looks good. For some reason they all look terrible to me.

Ah, thanks. Anyone have experience with autornd.com? The price on the full kit from AutoRND compared to directly from Final Konnexion in Japan is more than double... and I'm sure they don't keep it in stock. Better take a lightning-course in Japanese soon.
