Pic request, EREBUNI FD widebodykit

Like the topic says, my car is black now and after getting it back from storage and wiping it down, i remembered how much black sucks! time for white, and might as well go a little more wild on the body!
I wanna go with a widebody kit for the obvious, wider tires/wheels which ill need with the ls1 engine.
I like the Erebuni WB kit becuase its not all boxy and sharp angled like 90% of other kits out there. The boxy-ness ruins the FD's overall look. this kit keeps the round and smooth curves throughout whilst giving the widebody option!
----I know someone is gonna get all fruity becuase bodykits are rice, but this bodykit serves a purpose asdie from asthetics.

SO, POST THEM PICS! all colors, white preferably!

P.S. anyone have any experience with Erebuni's kits?
i do bodywork, so im not handicapped when it comes to that field. Just curious on the quality of their kits!

Whys that? ive seen pics of a silver one, its was sooo sweet, not the cheezy pics seen on spoilers.com. I cant see how a $1000 kit is going to be shitty, i paid 400 for a civic full kit and that was shitty, it only took me 3 days to make it 100% mint/show quality.

PLUS, like no one has that kit on their car,i like to stand out and do something different. I was gonna go black veilside kit, but i dislike black very much...

Are you talking about this kit from erebuni? If so it's a replica of the Mazdaspeed kit. I would recommend getting replica pieces from another source like rx7store.net or rotaryextreme.com.

Erebuni is overpriced crap...seriously. The fitment is terrible and the quality is poor. Just not worth it. Get the 15th anniversary kit from Mazdaspeed.

**does anyone have any first hand experience with Erebuni's kit, especially this one? or is it all internet hearsay? just like how the ls1 swap throws off the 50/50 weight dist, and the 20b doesnt **

PS, brian hinsons ls1 FD swap is still 50/50

internet hearsay?? Just because I have not had one personally means I can't have an idea of what they are like? They look like crap, have you seen one in real life let alone some of the kits in pictures. (I am talking for any car here, not just RX7's).

It is an old kit, so you may have trouble finding one.

hey just cause it's got fenders doesnt mean its a widebody kit. most "widebody kits" you see arn't widebody at all. go look at the top secret supra widebody kit or RE amemiya rx-7 widebody kit (see mazdaspeeds fd3s's avatar) thats widebody.

I've seen alot of bodykit's from GTP, the fit and finish is horrible.

i like to stand out and do something different. I was gonna go black veilside kit, but i dislike black very much
If you want to do something different, and stand out, the VeilSide kit should be your last option.

LOL, yeah now thinking about my 99 hatch with a full bodykit,,, **** sucked. SCraping everywhere, tryin to get a jack underneath it was a joke, fiberglass sucks as well.

http://hometown.aol.com/dynamit4u2/

i may go with the stock bumper, smoked turn sigs, carbon fiber lip or 99 spec. then RE-feed CF side skirts and maybe a RE rear diffuser in carbon fiber as well. Knightsports hood will top it off. Now, color is the question, stay black and sweat in the summer and have high paint maintanance.
-or-
spray her yellow or white and have the rare color, minimal paint maintance, and stay a little cooler in the summer.

PS can you even use the RE rear diffusor without the stock MAZDA gas tank? im going to run a fuel cell. i think the RE diffuser connects or butts up to the gas tank to get the air smoothing effect?
