Question I need YOUR help! RE-Ameniya parts...?

Ok, this is the car that I'm going from. These parts are probably not even available, but I thought I'd try anyway. I know they're all RE-Ameniya, but I also know that this is a professional car and the parts may be made for the specific vehicle, although I have seen these same parts on a few of their cars. I'm most interested in the side wide fenders and the front bumper and hood. I know that RE puts out wide side fenders, but if you notice the ones on this vehicle have a straight cut-off bottom for aerodynamics while the ones I have seen are rounded off. Any help at all would be very appreciated! Thanks a lot, -Joe

Check out http://www.jt-imports.com under the RE Amemiya section (obviously). I believe that first kit on there is the one you're looking for. Say goodbye to your bank account though ($$$$$$).

It's similar, but I don't think it's quite it. It could be though, it's hard to tell from those photos. I know the front is different, but the front on the yellow car looks like it could be custom. Anybody know of any knock-offs?...lol I don't have $8000 just lying around...let alone I don't have space for $8000 US in my head for dreaming...I'm in Canada, think about double

I met Mr.Amemiya today.
I can get the lowest price.
But the shipping is a big problem.
If you really want to buy, I can organize.
It is order-made kit.
It takes time.
PM me.

I don't think these parts would be obtainable. Get the stuff from Pettit if you want widebody.

Why does everyone have to have Japanese parts???

HaHa I think so.
US people want to get JP products.
We want to get US made products.

I use Red Line, B&M, Autometer, Earl's, Hurst, MSD and so on.

Personally, Red Line oils are much better than HKS or Greddy.
Autometers have big face compare to JD meters.
They are easy to check during races.
MSD oil coolers are much cheeper and lighter than HKS or Greddy.
Hoosier tires have stronger grip than Yokohama and BS.

Wheels are pretty good in Japan.
But most Japanese want to buy German or Italy ones.
And Japanese love Recaro seats very much.

I agree with you a little inukai.

Earls is very popular here, BUT it is in the states too.

Those big face Autometers were popular here, as they
were in the states. The only people that I see that even use them now are some 0-yon drivers or Drag racers.. I havent seen any curcuit drivers using them, because its not that important, and cuts down on vision.

My mech is crazy about REDLINE, and I know a lot of people on here like it, but personally I think it sucks!

I think im rambling, Im tired.....

Daemon--- That bumper on the Yellow FD wide body at the top isnt sold for street cars. Its only made for curcuit. Im sure if I ask RE they will hook me up at usual.

I will be at RE on wensday, I will be leaving my car there while im in the US, so if you have any questions I will ask while Im there, if I cant answer them now....

Sorry for the long boring post... Im tired and it probably doesnt even make any sense...haha

I look for Japanese parts because Japan usually has better technology than here in North America, plus this car was made there hence the reason why they would understand it better Also FD3Boost, does Pettit have a wide-body kit? I haven't found any body kit parts from them, just the 99 stock parts and rear spoilers. I identify better with the Japanese culture rather than American culture, it's something different. Plus, these parts don't really have a cultural value to them, do they?

Curious...what size tires do most of these RE cars with the RE Wheels run? I ordered them but in 18" the biggest appear to be 9.5". Why then the rear fender flares?

They didnt look to be that wide of a wheel though....
