www.raceoneusa.com ???

I am looking at their site and everything is so incredibly inexspensive. I am looking at thier body kits and the front ends are about $150.00 each.

http://www.raceonusa.com/index.asp?P...ROD&ProdID=505


What is the quality of their stuff? How much does it actually take to get it to fit? How tough is it?

The same bumper from rotaryextreme is $650. How does the quality compare?

Thanks!

I am in the same boat as you my man. I'm in the process of ordering a kit and some other goodies but no1 really know's anything about that site cuz no1 has ordered anything off of them. well no1 i know of anyway. somebody said that one reason it is inexpensive is because they have cheap labor in japan and so they can sell it cheaper or some crap like that. i think im going to give them a call this thurs. and ask them and see wats goin on. or ill just order like a front bumper and let u guys no later.

Race vs. Show

Those are race parts. They "look" like quality from the stands but they are not show quality. I would only drive them on the street if you want that "look", I certainly wouldn't try to show them off.

How well do you think a $150 dollar knock off bumper will fit? There's a reason the originals cost more. Quality =/= cheap...

When you say that it is race vs. show do you mean it is wavy or that something like that?




Where can one get a "real" GTC concept kit for a reasonable price in a reasonable amount of time?

I can tell you that Japanese labor is not cheap and those knockoff kits are not even made in Japan.

Their kits are questionable. Sometimes you'll get an ok one, others will fit like absolute crap. I've known 5-6 people around here that had them on various cars over the years. I've never run one for that reason. I am looking at their headlight kit though, because I have actually heard some good things about those. Anyone had them personally?

PLEASE don't put any of their products on ANY FD. They are absolutely garbage and I'm speaking from experience and second-hand observations. Fitment on their parts is usually horrible and customer service is substantially lacking.

I got one of their c-west sleek mount headlight kits, and it fit great. I think that it looks just like the original also (my friend has a genuine kit on his car). I would NOT suggest purchasing any body pieces from them, though. I am sure that they are crap for those prices.

I bought a gtc bumper from them a couple years ago. The fitment sucks, as well as their customer service. Steer clear of these clowns, rx7's are not worthy of their crap.

I will use it as a track only bumper now that the car has fresh paint.
