Fitment may be awful on the bumper but the headlight fitment doesn't look that good either. No offense but they don't exactly sit flush, at least in these pics.

Damn and it's funny how the pre-auto site says..
"re-amemiya front bumper N1
rare find, perfect fitment and quality guaranteed. we are the ONLY vendor to sell this in the us. this sells for $489 on pre-auto.com disregard any lower price."
Doesn't look like perfect fitment or quality to me...

Why can you still buy it from their site though? Or at least it's still there to be able to buy. They even have a special for the undertray going on.

Not to hijack the thread, but I wonder how you even get the undersweep off if you need to work on stuff from under the car? Put screws in the front part that attaches to your fiberglass bumper and just unscrew them to take the whole undersweep off? I would think you'd end up with a bunch of cracks in your bumper after doing that a few times.

as far as i know Re-A didnt give any dealership rights to the states so no company there should have legit products. also i think re stuff only works well with only re stuff.

Regardless if the fitment was good or bad, a good body shop wouldve been able to fix it. But in the end, you pay for what you get so dont expect perfect fitment on a replica.
Edit: Oh wait, is your hood closed all the way or still open?

the fact is that rx-7 owners have to stop being so sheisty about their cars and stop buying replicas. if you really love your car you'll take into consideration the engineering and development that went into the aero parts for the car. third parties that make replicas are basically not doing **** other than taking a copy of someone else's design and plagarizing it. they shouldn't even be able to do that.
i just feel that to own this car means taking the responsibility of respecting everything people put into it, and this is just a sad example of what can happen.
i'm going to second stokedxiv and just say, dude, keep it real. its what makes FD's what they are, and ownership is slowly degenerating into a penny pinching group that will disregard everything other than cost to make the car look good and run decent.

I have been saying most replicas suck ***** for a long time. If the fight continues im sure the thread will be closed. Its useless talk, but it is funny to see another replica looking like ****, bummer for the buyer though.
Replicas are inferrior for the most part, they are a copy off the original, plus you can return the original in almost 100% of the time if not satisfied. PLUS the lower cost replicas usually buy the mold too which has been passed around for ever and they use inferior materials and dont take the time to fix the mistakes since they cant afford it since the bumper sells as $100-$300..
Im tired so sorry about the spelling.
Just becareful what you buy..
