Ah, cool. Those are all the kit ideas i can come up with. I did some research on this because i liked deep dish rims but i don't have the power to back up meaty tires. You have good taste so whatever you pick should be awesome, good luck

 

I think you need a new monitor. The only similarity between them is that they both have two vents. The "center hole" is actually a side-marker.

On the white Border wide-body, the front fenders actually stick out from the doors without any flow into the doors. The space between the door and the outside face of the fender, is where the vents are located, not along the outside of the fender, as they are on the black fenders.

 

LOL...Oops.

Yea I noticed that. The regular Border fenders def. aren't my taste... I see what you mean about the fender not flowing into the doors. Ditto w/ the RE GT fenders on the orange FD. Looks real nice from this angle...but then again, I'd have to see a side shot and a front angle shot. I don't wanna give the car an edgy/choppy look. Want everything to flow smoothly...

Anyone have any more pics of the Border Widebody kit??

 

Go figure...lookie what I found? Whatcha guys think?? (Just fenders and 1/4 panels). I'm keeping my C-west front & Rear and MazdaSpeed Skirts)

 

From what I understand the front and rear fenders have been discontinued by the company that orginally manufactured them. I had to get mine from someone who bought a few sets to sell.

 

John, you have them on the car by any chance? Have a pic of 'em?

At this point, I'm really leaning toward the Border fenders and 1/4panels, but it doesn't look like the fenders will work w/ the Mazdaspeed sideskirts, cuz of how far out the stick. In fact, it looks like you'd have to use the Border skirts only...

The rears look like they can be molded in w/ a bit of work, considering I wouldn't be making that rear vent they have. My only concern is it makes the car look a bit on the heavy side...no?

 

No not as of yet but you can look here www.evo-r.net/FD_WIDE to see them install'd on a car.

 

Looks very clean. You gonna mold in the entire peice, or just rivet it in like on the blue car?

Any opinions on the Border widebody kit??

 

I will be molding the rear quarter panels it looks cleaner that way. The Border wide body has the quarter panels and the rear mold'd right? I went with the MSport so I can go with 12" rear wheels and still be able to remove the rear bumper.

 

Well I haven't seen the quarter panel peice itself...but I assume that you can just attach it or go ahead and get it molded as well. Personally, I already was gonna have the skirts and rear bumper molded in...

 

I just had it handed to me Chuck informed me that the Border kit isn't sold in parts...only the entire kit as a whole. So that's a negative.

I found a couple pics of the FEED 1/4s molded in...still looks a bit fat. But it looks like my only choices are this or the Panspeeds on the orange car w/ the RE kit. Here are the only pics I found of the FEED kit molded in. Hot, or not?





Still looks real wide IMO. Looks very similar to Crashunit's car (in the sense that it's fat in the rear) Apparently, it's really hard to do this w/o totally changing the lines of the car...

Jason's way is looking pretty good right about now





Very nice, very subtle. But the question is, just how much more width is it gonna give ya?

 

I THINK I FOUND WHAT IM LOOKING FOR! Someone tell me - is it just me, or did they pull the fender out on this car a bit???

You can see the fender area is a little wide here...


And from this angle there's an obvious bulge:


You can see it here too...


Here you can see how it kind of extends out a bit over the wheel...


Last shot:

 

So hard to tell on that pink car but it looks like it a bit. I too like JT's car but im not sure if i wanna screw with the original body parts.

here is the orange RE car again for ya.........

 

that pink kit looks sick

but im getting this kit early this year

 

Yea esp. cuz a 1/4 panel isn't exactly something you can replace easily

Yea I like the car, but I dunno...the 1/4 panel on it looks too fat/abrupt from the front angle IMO. I don't have the best angle pics of the pink FD, but it looks PERFECT so far. I wonder how hard it'll be to find out more details about the car...

Mike, you gettin the Vertex kit, eh? Niice... (BTW, you don't have to quote my entire post, which reposts ALL the pics LOL)

Hey guys...if anyone's interested, thought I'd give you a head's up that I found a place that still sells these, and some MSport parts: http://www.renovaauto.com/shop.do?ac...s&c=143000&m=0

On that note, who makes this spoiler? Cuz it's def. not the RE GT spoiler (like the one Chuck's now selling)

(Oh, and did anyone else spot the pins on the rear hatch? Someone's running CF hatch, and/or a detachable spoiler... )

 

I actually bought that kit from a Garage at the dock in BKK, Thailand. That's where they imported all the wrecked cars and parts (aftermarket including) by boat. Boys!!! it's like the Aftermarket flea market for all of us. Well this is my 2nd FD and my 5th bodykit already. Well i'll take you guys through the steps till the present then. First bought the RE kit about 6months ago for $2,000 (80,000baht in thailand)

 

That orange RE is pure sex...

 

Ok so i got it, then here's the installation....she went from this to this. Oh minus the kazama door..i took that off a month later (it SUCKED)!!!!!

 

Okay, the back fenders had to be shaved off extensively. Since i decided to keep the FEED II front so the shop had to added the side to the front bumper. Then i got the Scoot hood on...and woila!! ( sorry, took pics with my phone...wish i got some real photographer) oh and interior is Recaro limited brown from Porche (from the flea market as well) Overall i paid about $1,000 for the installation, fitment and paint. Labor is kinda cheap here. Oh check out the scoot hood ($300) and the Feed II ($300), they are thai made. Not the best quality, but given the road conditions here....who cares...Anything on the road of BKK will BREAK!!!...

 

Just wanna say thank you to all the wonderfull infos u guys been given me for the last 5 years im here in BKK, thailand. I owned a silver FD back in Queens, NY. Now im pretty much satisfy with her. Oh, thanks for the interior idea from Jspec7 with the Defi guages. I'll try to keep u guys posted if i see anything cool from the dock everytime i go. My name is PK. Im a radio dj for 88.0 Peak FM,and a R&B artist from the same company. ( So i get to play my own damn song ALL DAYYY hahahah) the 7 was just recently a part of the music video from our group. Kinda funny looking at her from the screen. OH, just found out that 1 of the 1500 2002 rx7 spirit r was wrecked and they chopped it in half, exported to the dock and i just bought it. Since my baby 7 is everything '93, now i guess it's gonna be all 2002. Im going to the 7 shop today to get the swap. I'll take some pics of the wrecked spiritR (exterior & interior) and the swapping process. Should take a week (120,000 baht or $3,000) Okie, im off to the shop then..take care everyone!!!

 

Your car and story are interesting, but man, I have NEVER seen such blatant, out of the blue, and OFF TOPIC thread hijacking as this... just WOW.

 

Did you get the seats from the Spirit R? Car looks good BTW

 

Ha ha have to agree with you there. Forgotten what this thread was about.

 

Well, now I'm just tryin to see what spoiler is on the MSport orange FD...
