hahaha, a viper front end conversion and buying it from dodge. It would be Alot cheaper to buy the RE wide body kit !! Man if you have the money go for it, im sure it would be bad ***. Vipers are alot wider than fds. There also longer to. good luck though

i miss read it, thought he meant the front bumper..., if you have the money to buy the 14,19k rx7, then pay another 10 to buy a viper base, then another 5-10 to fit it on, save yourself the tool time and buy a viper.

You guys are funny... He's talking about a body kit made for the FD that looks like a viper front end, viper hood, etc..

Here's more on it..

https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showth...t=top+fuel+kit

Seems to be some contridiction whether it's made by Revolution or by Top Fuel Japan though.

Sorry I don't have any pics but you're welcome to search and try to come up with your own.

The kit is made By Top Fuel in japan. But the tuning company Revolution is currently using it on a couple FDs that they tune and use to compete. the only way to kit it is if you have some sort of hook up in Japan because im not sure if they are offering it too the public or even on their site.......so i dunno. your best bet is talking to Jason at Jt-imports.com

BTW i attached a good pic of the kit for anyone who hasnt seen or heard about it yet

Poser. That looks like crap. Don't ruin your lines of the FD with a Detroit design.

I won't be as harsh as Ryan-Rex, but I agree. I never understood why anyone would try to make their car look like another one. Oh, maybe because I'm not a poser.....(guess I did get as harsh as Ryan-Rex... )

BTW, do you think it's funny that someone would spend money on a kit to make their FD look more like a Viper when the FD is already seen as a "mini-Viper GTS". Several guys attending the drags this weekend thought my FD was a Viper at first until they got a closer look.

Personally, I'd spend my money on performance upgrades or a rainy day fund myself, but oh well, to each his own.

Thanks for the replies people. I didnt really notice that it was a viper front bumper till i viper afterwards, honestly. I like the way it looks on the game "tokyo extreme racing" , but it looks different on that picture, and tell u the truth, im not crazy about the way it looks on that pic. Im still undecided about what front bumper i wanna get, so any ideas wit pics would be nice.
