Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone here could give me some specs on the Fortune kit. I dont have an rx-7, I own a ford probe ...lol but I am wanting to fab up a kit that looks close to this for my car. What I'm hoping you guys can help me out with would be the dementions. I believe I read somewhere this kit adds about 5 inches to each side of the car. Can anyone give me measurements from a few diff points, such as the rear quarter part that sticks out a little further, and then the door section?

If anyone could help me out I would greatly apretiate it. All I have to go on for now are some pictures and guesses. I'm also wondering how the pieces are attached to the car. Is it molded, or bolted, or both?

Thanks alot guys
If you guys have anyother tips or info that would be great to.

Some of you may want to know why a probe... well, it's what I have. There is no realy wide body kit made for the probe, and enjoying body work and the like, I have decided to try my hand at a custom wide kit made from scratch. Just to see if I can do it. So I went searching online trying to find a good looking kit to base mine off of. This one looks amazing compared to the others I have seen. That is how I found this site, searching for more pics and info. I did find a thread with some install pictures, which should be pretty helpful.

I know the probe is nothing special, not even a quick car. But, like I said its what I have...

thanks zack!

anyone know why the rear fender needs cut? I saw in that install thread that they cut the rear fender some, and couldnt figure out why...

Well..... considering that the kit was hand crafted, I'm sure you could do it too, provided you have the skills.

You could always buy the kit from us and try it out!

rear fenders are cut because the owners put wider wheels in there.
if the stock fender is still there, it's going to hit the tire.

^ Thanks for the info, and as far as buying the kit, I'm pretty sure there would be less work trying to build a similar kit than fitting any rx-7 kit to a frod probe. There have been a few bumpers (not from a wide kit) that have been fitted to a probe, with a lot of fabrication. Judgeing from the pictures of rx-7s versus the probe, I think starting from scratch would be easiest. If veilside has problems with people attempting something like this, then i'll come up with another game plan. I could understand why they might.

I assume your affiliated with the company? If so, do you see any problem with this?

If you wanted to buy the kit and put it on a Ford F150, that is totally up to you.
Once you buy it, it is yours!

The only problem I see is the hassle of making everything work right.
