I'm buying the front end in a couple of months (have a couple of other mods I need done first). I'll post some pics when it's done.

Not sold on the side skirts yet though...

anybody know a japanese company that sells the clear side indicators?

I like the old N1 better even though it dosen't flow with the Fd lines very well. The FD is starting to look outdated but with the angular look of the old N1 it brings it up to date. I still hate the side skirts though.

Never liked C-West. Overpriced, ugly (especially the rear bumper and side skirts, so nasty). The kit doesn't flow well with the FD body like montego mention. The only kit that looks nice IMO is the RE-Amemyia FD3S AD Facer-2 and these side skirts made by them too but i forgot the name( the owner of RX7 Secret has them). That is probably as close to stock but abit better, without over doing. And flows nice.

But thats just me. Most kits for the FD i don't like. You look at them long enough and you'll find something that sticks out or something that shouldn't be there. IMO, stock look w/ 99' lip looks the best.

i agree with 20B. i believe i was one of the first to have the original cwest kit. bought it and it took four month's of waiting for it to come from japan. i then was paid to let this shop make a fake duplicate out of it. i agree with 20B. the stock rx7 is a beauty. i just put my stock bumper back on, had it painted again and deng it looks good. now i'm looking for the classic r1 lip and rear spoiler for my car.

p.s. the feed kit looks nice imho.

Looks good to me. I like the width of the lower lip.
