Decisions about body kit..

[Twistedrx7]

Well as im sure all of you know the body kit on the car is butt ugly.

 

I have the C West body kit just sitting in the garage. Now should i take it back to stock and throw on the 99spec bumper or just put the C West kit on it?

 

Let me know what you think?

That front is terrible sorry

 

what does the new kit look like

 

the stock with 99 spec bumper would look nice

 

that current body kit makes the car look like you want it to bee cooooler than quick but its not cool

Take it all off and make it look like a normal RX7.

99 spec stuff looks nice but alot of people have it right? i mean no offense but anything is better then that, I mean stock fd's are sexy so looks are not hard to come by.

This is the only route I would go (personally).

Nothing wrong with function AND form. If you like the kit, go with it. It's your car.

 

And besides, when that mustang pulls up next to you at the light and laughs at your body kit, it'll make it that much sweeter when you beat him.

I'd think twice about that statement

maybe if he pulls up next to a v-6 one....and that if a apex seal dont get lost between shifts

[Sparky]

Is this the kit you have? I like it, but stock is better than both imho.. unless you really do need a big IC opening.

Jake, if it was my car I would go stock front bumper with a 99 spec chin spoiler

stock rear bumper with a 99spec wing to compliment your 99 spec tails

forget about any body kit. just get that thought out of your head altogether

[Smokey]

there are a few options that I like. One of my favorites is the 93-95 front bumper with the R1 lip and no wing in the back. I often wish my car didn't have the R1 wing on the back, but I don't feel like going through the trouble to fill the holes.

 

99 spec is touchy as I see some of the plateless replicas look goofy, but I'm not completely hot on having the front plate either. I go back and forth on this.

 

Are you planning on a repaint of the whole car or just the new stuff? Are you staying CYM?

Do us all a favor and sell it to someone that doesn't see the world as yellow body kits.

Completely stock. An RX7 with a body kit is like covering fillet mignon with A1 steak sauce.

Yes that is the front bumper, C West N1 kit. Just not with those lights. The stock 93-95 bumper has a very small opening, and having a larger opening allows more air flow in, and helps with reducing under hood temps.

 

The door jambs and everything are all painted. The only things not repainted are under the carpet.

 

Kenny, you really need to come up with some new material it is getting old, just like your cars.

Yet their body panels still fit better. Isn't that a mother fucker.

[sol740]

The rx-7 is one of the few cars that I think looks better with a tasteful/functional body-kit. That fascia doesn't seem to have any disruptive lines, and overall looks to flow more efficiently. IMHO definitely better than what you got on now.

All mine fit fine...

Just from the low quality sig pic,

 

Hood doesn't line up even all the way across, the gap is larger at the middle than the edges. Fender doesn't meet up with bumper correctly - look at the line by the driver side headlight.

 

Fail.
