RE AD GT kit fitment

Hi

Has anyone got any pictures or advice on fitting the above kit, i.e how much do you roll the rear arches or do they need cutting out and how do you space the petrol flap out?

Regards

Mark

I rolled my rear 1/4 panels, but you don't need to. I've been thinking of pulling them a little further out to fit some wider wheels, but it's not necessary.

I had the body shop custom make a little bracket to extend the 'petrol flap' out a little bit. Nothing to hard.

Just wondering, does the wide fender fit with a stock front bumper?

Some of my fitment pictures are in this thread: https://www.rx7club.com/jkl-engineering-271/gb-re-amemiya-ad-gt-widebody-kit-who-want-725944/
I've since pulled the car apart down to the bare shell and am doing a full overhaul on the car, so it's still not finished. Hopefully, I'll have ti down to debut at sevenstock this year.

I'm not sure about the stock front bumper, but any aftermarket bumper should mount up just fine. My FEED front bumper from Shineauto fit when I decided to try it one day when I got bored.

I've looked through the thread at your car and it looks like you had a few alignment problems, apart from these was it fairly easy to install?

Yea, most everything else bolted right up. Just a few little adjustments here and there made everything come together perfectly.
