Try the interior/exterior section man. If you search around I'm sure you'll find some pictures. Anywho, the bottom of the bumper will sit alot lower then the sides/rear of the stock body.

i personally think it looks a bit off do to the front being much lower then the rest of the car but at times it doesnt look bad. Pettit's 3 rotor is like that but it does have the flares but you can get the over all idea.

I don't think it flows well with the rest of the body stock. I'm not a big fan of the GTC's, I know alot of people like them but choose for your own tastes not anyone else's. I just don't like how it looks like a gaping max directly under the turn signals.

im guessing you want a pic in red since your car is red??

id upgrade your wheels before your front bumper if you are interested in looks. body kits look odd with stock 16s imo.

also.. look for pics of ernieT's car

How about doing it like mine

The side skirts bring the center of the car down which makes a huge difference.

I'm not sure what type of tires he has on in those photos, but the wheels are the Kinesis K29 in 17x10 all around. Those were the wheels that came with the car when he bought it, but he has now upgraded to CCW's.

thanks for all the comments and pictures. Damian's car looks nice but idont think that it follows with the rest of hte bodies lines. It looks like the bumper goes to low compared to the rest of the body. I think im just going to look into getting a 99 spec bumper if i can find one in my area at a good PRICE!!

I personally don't like the GTC front bumper with any side skirts or rear skirts. It isn't really any lower than a stock front end with 99 sepc spec lip. The white car on RX7store.net has the gtc with stock body also.

They are fiberglass FEED side skirt replicas. A friend of mine is producing them.

I've seen Pettit's GTC version and a Mazdaspeed replica version up close. I liked the Pettit 3 rotor car because it had the fender flares out back with 12" wide rims which made it look very aggressive. The other car was lightly mod'ed on some 18 inch ADVAN's but looked very nice as well . . .

I personally love the GTC front and will more than likely go with it by it's self or with Pettit's fender flares. Good luck.

EDIT: a2zpcwiz . . . you've prolly seen the black 3 rotor up there at Pettit; Cam took me for a ride in it!!! That thing is MEAN!!!
