the C-west kit!! lol, i cant find it anywhere, i dont really wanna pay c-west's retail price, b/c its like over 1,000. so if u can find a replica of the c-west body kit, that is made w/ good material, and a reasonable price, post the link.. appreciate it.

 

PLEASE buy the authentic one. C-West has worked hard to setup distribution here in the states w/out jacking the prices that they sell for in japan. I got mine from www.kansaimotorsports.com. Only took a couple weeks to get.

 

here is a pic of the kit im looking for.

 

how am i suppose to order off that web site when its all in japan dude??

 

Fritz Flynn just sold his, he had a full c-west kit for sale, all original, for like $750

 

Google the website, or use babblefish to translate.

 

goto http://www.c-westusa.com/

Looks like you want: n1 front bumper, side skirt type II, rear bumper. Call kansai motorsports to place your order. Your parts will be shipped directly from c-west in cali. Unfortunately c-west doesn't sell direct, so you need to order via one of their distributers.

 

dude they want like 650$ just for the front clip, thats ridiculous, i found the kit for like 400$ lol.. its the same material.. =/

 

You get what you pay for. $400 and i can assure you that the parts will be low quality, poor fitting, will cost more to install, and will break the first second it hits something (unless you get it reinforced).

No matter. It's your car. If you have the cash you can make it work. Good luck

 

You will get what you pay for and if its a full kit for $400 I don't think the quality will be very good, plus the reason the C-West kits cost so much is because they are wind tunnel tested to be aerodynamically sound, create necessary downforce, and are basically OEM quality fitment, you can't get much better.

Damn, to late^^^

 

well.. when reality hits u, body kits dont add much aerodynamics.. regardless how u look at it.. its for looks.. any1 knows that.. and plus, my rx-7 is mostly 4 show, weekend car, not a daily driver, wont be going over any speed bumps/ rail road tracks, no dirt roads.. just flat road, cruisin like a rx-7 owner should.. and how can it be cheaper material.. fiberglass is fiberglass, the descriptions say the same thing, 7oz Fb, with a gel coating to finish it off.. i read it everywhere.

 

Cool man. You're right and we're wrong. Enjoy your bodykit

 

I only mentioned aerodynamics because C-West kits see use on many racecars. I would really only be concerned with fitment which may be poor or may be decent. Good luck with the kit.

 

this kit has been one of the most copied kits around... poor c-west. their price for a very well made kit is pretty damn good.

 

I had the original c-west front end back in the day. Fit like a glove.... can't say the same for knockoffs

 

You seem to be contrary with everyone... we're trying to help you out here. What are the chances that any of us have any benefit in you spending an extra $600 on your body kit? Honestly do you think we cut some sort of "screw the newbie" profit?

"cruisin like a rx-7 owner should"?

I DD my car. Every day since December, and there was snow.

This car is meant to be driven. If you want a show queen then by all means build a show queen with a fake copy of a name brand kit. You're not going to get urethane or FRP for less than $500 so you better put some money aside for cracks and paint.

 

the rx-7 was meant to be daily driven, HAHAHA, thats the funniest thing i've seen all day, thanks 4 the laugh.. wow.. big deal if its a knock off version, just as long as its a good kit, honestly, how much is the c-west kit?? the full N1 kit.. FROM C-WEST.

 

I didn't say the rx-7 was meant to be driven daily, i'm saying i do. There isn't any particular way to drive any car. My grandmother could drive a Caparo T1 (pictured below) to get groceries on Saturday and church on Sunday. Sure, there are other ways to get to the grocery store but a car is *meant* to get you from one place to another. Fin.



I remember thumbing through a Motor Trend mag with an advertisement picturing a Porsche in a garage with text that read "Every moment wasted..."

I'm not wasting any time, every drive to work is as fun as your little "cruises". Did you ever get that idle problem fixed?

 

The authentic c-west kit comes in PFRP, which is NOT just fiberglass.

Pliable Fiber Reinforced Plastic:
This material has similar properties to those of FRP, but is a lot more flexible. The front bumper and Front Half Spoilers made with PFRP are much more difficult to crack due to its flexibility. Side skirts and rear under fins are much more pliable when installing. Depending upon the paint, PFRP aero-parts are much easier to repair, even with damage received while the vehicle is in motion.

good luck!

 

you could try raceonusa.com ive heard some of their stuff fits really good, hit or miss i guess.

 

what a

whats funny is how you find it funny that cars were made to be driven >.>

By all means, go for the paper mashay kit. just dont post a sob story when it gets shredded. for some reason i already picture your car being one of those with endless cracks in the bumper and chipped paint all over the place. have fun!!

 

rotarich, 6 posts, dont post in my forums, noob.. thanks.. and the rx-7, if u wanna get really technical, was meant to be a drift car. DUH DUH DUH DURRR!@!! rear wheel drive japan tuner?? COME ON!! u wanna get technical, i can sit here all day and listen to u 40 year olds fight w/ me on this, ur not going to win, stick to what u guys know best, american muscle.. rotarich, ur gonna envy my car noob.. were's ur RX-7?? pics?? mmmm... no pics?? ok, SHUSHER!! and again, if ur gonna post non-sense bullshit in my forum, dont post at all, post a website w/ a cheap price, or gtfo.. simple as that.. dont come in here and start flaming everywhere, no1 wants that.

JAPAN BABY!! JAPAN!! THATS ALL THAT MATTERS!! i dont see why i get flamed on, all i said was, i dont wanna pay 1/4 of wat my car is worth for a body kit, thats just ridiculous, im a guy who has common sense, not some small ***** wannabe w/ money!! all im asking for, is some simple advice on were i can get a decent body kit, for a decent amount of cash.. not that hard to post a website, or give me good advice... THANKS 2 THOSE OF U WHO HAVE LEND A HAND AND TAKEN TIME TO POST A GOOD REPLY!! and im working on the idle problem, i believe i have found the problem, the TPS.. so hopefully later this week, or weekend, ill get to tune it w/ my volt. ill post how it goes.. thanks again 2 the good members of RX7club.com.. *(i'd love to sport this website on my 7, u know, w/ a sick *** sticker, but, for some reason i dont seem to want to put this site on my car)* waste of space?? or just not a good friendly site??? hhhmmmm....

 

I'll give him 1 month of driving before he ups the boost and blows the motor. Anyone want to take bets? Vin Diesel here is making my day (comical).
