Advise on 1988 Convertible Front Bumber Selection

I think I want to use an after-market front bumber on my 1988 RX7 convertible street-only car. I have done a lot of body work, fiberglass mechanical and painting on other cars and boats in the past. I want a front end that can be made to fit well and is not too far out in its design.

I like the looks of the bmagic front end because it seems to have a fairly modest air dam.

If the front end goes well, I may add the sides and rear.

Is this one any good. Can these things be installed to look like an near-oem quality fit ?


Any other suggestions ? Which looks best for a street car, which has the best fit ?

everything will need to be fitted right and nothing will fit with OEM quality. That b magic kit is the best thing if you plan on keeping your series 4 moldings.

I would suggest swapping to series 5 moldings and getting a Shine Auto Project kit they have for FC's. They have great quality and the fitment.

Body Kit Fit

Thanks for input on fitment. I have seen photos of some great looking RX7's with body kits but none in real-life.

QUESTION: My car is white so gaps will show more than on a dark color. Are the joints between the side kits and original car tight, or are there gaps that vary in dimension making it look like alot like an ad-on product ?

I might play it safe to start and just put on a Shine project front bumber lip.

Thanks
