As far as I know they still sell them. I emailed Ken a week or two ago and got ahold of him. Do you have an email address for him? I don't think you could get them from anywhere else, these are exclusive to Shine. Unless you bought them from someone that already had them of course haha. No way to get them from another business, as long as no one has copied them haha.

Speedjunkie I do not have an email address. If you could PM that would be great.
The cut at the bottom of the wing looks slightly different to the one on the white Sanai Works car. Is that something that Shine decided to do or is there another type of Sanai wing?

I discussed with my team before we started the project about whether we should provide a 20mm wide front fender or a 25mm.. 25mm wouldve been a much easier project because the feed fenders are already 25mm. However, we wanted to create something that would work well for those who wished to flare their rears and for those who didn't. I think 30mm wide front is too aggressive for the general market.
We do have plans on producing our own front bumper/front lip combination some day as well as a rear diffuser. I think we have a strong understanding of what the FD market is looking for.

The front and top profile of the feed fenders are very attractive and updates the car very well. I was considering modeling this profile to the oem fenders, but getting rid of the "lip" above where the tire sits so it will match your oem rear or a subtle flare. Since I've had the opportunity to compare the oem fenders vs feed fenders....... I think feed fenders look way better in terms of profile. Some like the cutout, some dont, which is why we're making something similar with the oem look. You might not be able to tell a difference from the side, but you should from the top or the front of the car. We'd prefer to have the vent attachment separate since we sell a carbon or kevlar replacement, which I feel ads a nice touch. Any competent body shop should be able to mold your vent in if you wish to do so.

IMO RX7 nowadays without the cutout looks way outdated and rounded and starting to show its age. In today's design/lines most cars have the cutout even most of the exotics like Ferraris, Lambos, Porsches etc.
For this reason I am planning to get the burnout rear fender flares soon but my only problem is finding a front fender
Burnout and Feed too aggressive, oem +20mm too rounded
