Yes, Rotaryextreme does...send him a PM.

Chuck makes nothing but quality products. He even made an all C/F version whereas the FEED version is Carbon in the center only. It's all about taste and what you like though. Personally I think the FEED wing is the nicest and most stylish wing on the market, it's the only thing that would ever go on the rear of my car.

That car is so beautiful. I love the new GTUs. Got a thing for mesh. Been waiting for someone to jump on them. I can get the higher offsets for them to avoid rubbing up front in case he's rubbing. PRetty aggressive fitment, but beautiful if you do the mods or can avoid the scrub.

We offer this fiber images hood as well for the FD.

Very very nice,

Rishie

Rich (GoodFella) those lights work really well. When I was outh in LA last month I popped down to see Loi, and had a really good look over the car.

In the bright daylight that you lucky buggers out there have, they still managed to put stars before my eyes.

What seats are those? (It looks like it says JIC on the head rest?) Do they fit without problems? Thanks.

JIC's are perhaps the highest quality Japanese made racing seats and one of the few seats that will fit in the RX-7. Just make sure you buy the the right size seats (they have many different sized models) and use a tape measurer if need be.

I've had the JIC's in my GTUs and they were very supportive. I doubt they have the technology that say a Bride would have. They are however pretty lightweight as well.

I had the black ones. If you guys want a better look i think i have pics:

http://groups.msn.com/AutomotiveRD/a...to&PhotoID=717

Talk about some major support. They mimic the Bride Brix seat. I have a set of the brix also and teh material is definitely different. The bride material is soft in comparison.

I'm pretty darn sure that Brides will fit in the FD. lol. They make their mounts to be extremely low. Super down. hehe.

I had the JIC's and now I have the Bride's. That's all I can really say. They cost more but you can most definitely feel it in the outer material and foam. I think I lost it when driving the GTUs back to NorCal from SS last year with the JIC seats. After those 350miles that was it.

But they are very supportive and not badly priced at all. They do look very nice as well. Even the fixed ones.

I have a Bride bucket in the drivers side (not sure of the model), coz I like to be strapped in. The passenger will have to wait until the funds are there to get them something that will hold them in.

Out of curiosity, do the GT-U's appear to have any coating on them whatsoever? I'm interested in them but only if they won't look like garbage after four months due to water spots and other ailments which seem to have afflicted my bronze SE37A's.

To me, they look like they have a clear coat of some sort on them, really smooth and glossy.
