I love the way this looks. Too bad I cant afford it. Just wondering what you guys think of it. Here is the website for Erc. ERC

I have seen that before...Looks just like Mariah's

Rx7Roadster 04-14-2003 10:17 PM

I dont think that looks like Mariah's at all. I like this one much better. Mariahs has a different front end, door covers, giant rear wing, different rear and is much more gaudy in my opinion.

vosko 04-14-2003 10:20 PM

looks very nice

Rx7Roadster 04-14-2003 10:23 PM

Here are some of the Mariah pics. You will see what I am talking about.

i like the Mariah's better, more exotic in my opinion https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/boink.gif

and the wing is optional

1Revvin7 04-14-2003 10:47 PM

lose that wing on the mariah rear and damn its purty!!!

relisys190 04-14-2003 10:54 PM

The Mariah is probly the only body kit for the FC that says "Get the Fugg outa my way"



It really changes the Looks of the FC.. and makes it look very dominating on the Road.



It is by far the best kit if you looking for diehard looks. Very Exotic/sportcar/ WTF is that kinda look to it



I allready get that 'having no Mazda badges' you'd be surprised how many people dont know what the Mazda Rx-7 is. Let alone a rotary engine.



https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683621.gif --- I'm at advanced auto parts today... with my hood up checking my oil. Two rednecks (No offense) pull up in an 80's firebird and say. Damn, where's the rest of your engine. I gave them a very brief explination on a rotary engine. And at the same time they both turned their heads like little puppy dogs and said. Whu? I said no more. you should of seen their faces when i said it's a 1.3 L https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

I never really liked the front end that much. That is my main complaint with the kit. Here is how it looks on a vert if you are wondering.

I actually kinda like that. It is nice to see what it would look like on a vert since that is what I have. What I really like is that it gets rid of the black nody molding on the S4 car. It makes it look a lot newer then it is. I cant afford it but its always nice to dream.

Seppuku 04-14-2003 11:31 PM

if a 20b swap didnt cost so much i could buy the mariah kit. Ive never liked it that much but it does look good on that vert which is what i have also. Maybe later after stage 2 of the swap ill buy a kit for the car but it wont be the mariah.

ROTARYROCKET7 04-15-2003 02:12 AM

https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif i think it has the same concept design as the mariah but i dont think it looks like it you can tell its not the mariah the mariah has a huge price tag and looks more wild.. you say WTF is that. When i drive around NYC alot of people start to look at my car and they go str8 for the end of the car cuase they dont know what companie makes it. RX7 are hard to find why??. I know most of em are in junkyards cause people crash em but in NYC i barely see em. I see them a little bit more now but not as much as other cars

CrazyAssRX7 04-15-2003 01:16 PM

the yellow guy has my spoiler!!!!! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif

CrazyAssRX7 04-15-2003 01:17 PM

but i also bet.....

they both cost an arm and a leg, i sure know the mariah sports one does

ChainSawOnSteroids 04-15-2003 01:27 PM

the Mariah mode six wide body kit costs $4,999 (parts only) figure another $2k to install(at least)

CrazyAssRX7 04-15-2003 01:35 PM

with that kind of kit.........

you better have a crazy or extremely nice paint job and for that, the install and paint will be way over 2 k

ChainSawOnSteroids 04-15-2003 01:36 PM

i said at least

im sure someone will do it for 2k

Leetheslacker 04-15-2003 01:48 PM

I like the yellow one, i never really liked the mariah front....

ILUVMY88CABRIO 04-15-2003 02:22 PM

I don't like the Mariah wide body kit. It looks like it was designed back in the 80s. Not worth the $5k IMO.

j9fd3s 04-15-2003 02:54 PM

the mariah widebody looks like a peanut



mike

ChainSawOnSteroids 04-15-2003 08:31 PM

all a matter of taste. everyone has it, not everyone agrees with it

Rx7Roadster 04-15-2003 08:52 PM

The ERC kit costs 328000 yen or about $2800. That is before shipping though. I wonder how much it would cost to get it over here.

mazdapower 04-15-2003 08:54 PM

Half those kits are just too much, They are too bulky, too many worthless designs, and in turn make the car look slow and heavy (like the 7 series beamer). These kits take away form the natural good looks of the factory rx7. A little front spoiler and small side skirts would make look quick and agile, and save a bundle.



...but thats my opinion

CrazyAssRX7 04-16-2003 07:23 AM

i would defenetly rather get the RE kit with the headlight conversion

a lot cheaper and i think it looks better too

gazellis 04-16-2003 08:29 AM

I agree with mazdapower since we're in to giving opinions here. I think those body kits take away too much of the natural good looks of the RX-7. I like owning an almost stock looking fc because I think in the last year I may have seen 2 or 3 still on the road around where I work. They just aren't around here and it is nice to have something others don't. (A little selfish I know https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub... )

CrashFactory 04-16-2003 09:16 AM

i think the Mariah kit makes the 7 look like a Ferrari, they're of asian descent

not italian :P the erc doesn't look too bad, i like the RE a lot better than both

tho, if i was gonna get a kit, i'd prolly go custom, that way i got all the things

i want in a body kit (cept for low price........ https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R )...

CrazyAssRX7 04-16-2003 10:20 AM

ill stay with my molded wing, which makes a huge difference and then throw the rest of the money i could have for a kit in my ENGINE!!!!

https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif

YucA 04-16-2003 10:40 AM

i like the kit a bit better than the mariah...

75 Repu 04-16-2003 11:41 AM

I don't like either front end.. Both kits are nice though.. But you guys are also forget a third expense on the kits.. After buying the kit and getting it installed and painted you will need rims to fill those wheel wells.. can you say $$$$Cha-Ching$$$$

CrazyAssRX7 04-16-2003 01:02 PM

hell yes 75 Repu is right

you can just get any rims

you need Wide rims and ofcource very good looking for a kit like that with the wide body

which equals = $$$$$$

ECKO1980 04-16-2003 05:25 PM

IMO I think the Mariah Kit looks like ass. It may have been cool back in like 1988, but it just looks dated and makes the car try to look like some thing that its not. A good body kit will accentuate the looks of a car IMO not discuise them.

Nemesis 04-16-2003 05:28 PM

I would really just like a nice simple front bumper and side skirts. Something clean, accentuates looks of the car, and is somewhat reasonable in price. There doesn't seem to be such a kit for this car. Please let me know if there is.

75 Repu 04-16-2003 05:49 PM

Another problem I find with kits.. is that they are fiberglass which breaks easy.. I want a Urethane kit so it can take a few bumps and scratches before ever breaking.. I know that won't actually make the cost go down but it will keep my repairs down.. Out here in LA you have to park in lots just about everywhee and other drivers are stupid and bump into everything..

Apex13B 04-16-2003 09:47 PM

i think modifying a car is stupid...



just buy a faster one
