Hi, Can anyone tell me the difference between the Knight Sport side skirts and the Wings West side skirt? I believe that they are two different companies however their side skirts for the 93-95 rx7s are the same.

Those are actually the Racing Beat skirts:

They are basically the same as the Knight Sport skirts.

The Racing Beat, Wings West, etc. are knock-offs of the Knight Sports Type I side skirts. Knight Sports came up with the original design but as far as differences, probably the only difference is the materials... Visually they should look exactly the same.

Yes. actually what I meant was their site used to reference Racing Beat, as they were just a reseller of their FD kits.

The air dam they are selling also looks like Racing Beats, so I believe their other "Knight Sports Look-Alike" parts are really Racing Beat parts (which of course copy the Knight Sports design).

ive heard that the Wings West parts fit better and are made out of stronger and lighter materials.

hey, are u sure that the Wings West are better than knight sport because I believe that Wings West are much more cheaper. Usually the expensive one is always better, but i can be wrong......hehheh

JoeD is just being sarcastic.... He dislikes replicas (or knock-offs, whatever people care to refer to them as)...

Like I said, I don't believe Wings West actually makes those body kits for the FD.

The Knight Sports look-alike kit I believe are just Racing Beat parts (which from what I hear are great fits), and the Aggressor kit I believe is just the VIS Racing kit.

Obviously, if you are concerned with fitment, then you should always go with the original if that is a concern. If not, get the replica/knock-off and just deal with whatever fitment problems may arise.

thanks..but i'm dealing more with what kinda material its made of because i'm planning to mold it onto my rx-7 and i heard that it is really easy to crack...That's why i need the company that makes the most durable side skirt(knight sport style side skirts).

all of them are made of fiberglass but not all fiberglass are produced equally. if you're very much concerned about durability, get the original knight sports type i but i doubt anyone has the originals in stock here in the u.s. since the cheaper copies are more available. you might have to order them from japan.
