Some goodies for the rx3

Finally arrived after a long hunt for these parts!!
FEED replica fender flares
Front lip spoiler
and some fender mirrors.
Hopefully will get around to install these parts on the 3 and get a new paint.

Happy Holidays!!!

I got the fender flares and spoiler from Japan. Also, the fender mirrors are from a 1970 ish datsun bluebird coupe. The flares run me about 150,00 yen, about $150 not including shipping.

Sweet I got the same flares and front spoiler for the same price. But mine are still in Japan waiting to be shipped here. If you dont mind me asking how much was the shipping by air?

Guys if you don't mind post the source of the flares I would love to be able to use some on one of my threes, if you don't want to post it please PM me with it. I wondered about the mirrors they appeared to be earlier than most Mazdas but are similar to the Cosmo 110s I wouldn't have guessed Datsun but cool.

I got my weatherstripping from Scott rubber I've also purchase some from Rarespares both are great source for rubbers, rare spares sales badges as well. For front suspension parts like ball joints and stuff Rockauto.com has them, but for urathene bushing you can find them at Scotts rubber.

I think if we can get enough people interested in the weather stripping, we can definitely get a group buy going.

Just bring your car over, but be sure to bring plenty of cardboard. I know exactly what you want.

look what I found in my pile of junkparts. I forget about these but IDK if I will use it or sell it for $1 a piece. I dont think it will look good in my RX-3 since I want the stock look with killer instinct plus I have to assemble another set of epsilons to match the fender flares

I like that idea better.

But here's the other flares that Santa delivered. The flares are about 1.5 smaller than my home made flares, so my wheels will be sticking out a bit..But I haven't had the chance of installing them on my car to see how they look. But the rear spoiler is not what I was expecting it need lot's of work and I think the other one looked much better. But the front spoiler is freaking huge, check it out.
