I was looking at my 86 N/A RX7 and thought that it would look kinda sweet if I could do a body mod of puling out the fenders at the line by about 4 inches. And when I say at the line, I mean at the crease in the fenders. I want the fenders to sit out from the door by at least 3.5 inches.

My question is...Has anyone seen a body mod on a FC like this before?

88gt 06-29-2004 06:03 PM

Let me make sure I understand you correctly.. you want to "pull out" the stock fender for a wider look??

Jing Bad Guy 06-29-2004 06:13 PM

Im not sure I could "Pull out" the stock fender...I may need to cut and add new metal. I want the "entire" fender to sit out by 3.5-4 inches. Not just the wheel wells.

88gt 06-29-2004 06:19 PM

Ok I got it now.. Don't do it! I just can't imagine what that would look like..Go out and buy a pair of Mariah Motorsport fenders, Tri-Point wide body kit, FEED fenders or even Corksport..

The time and energy spent on what you're trying to accomplish is better spent buying one of the above.

Jing Bad Guy 06-29-2004 06:29 PM

Hmmm...I'll take a look at the prefab stuff...although, I am on a budget and most of those kits and fenders are really expensive. As for the look, I was going for something like a car I saw in import tuner.

The first car on this page....the hipermax car. You cant miss it.

88gt 06-29-2004 06:34 PM

That's certainly not a "stock fender" rolled out.. Check out [URL=www.mariahmotorsports.com] These aren't as expensive as you think..

89 Rag 06-29-2004 06:36 PM

Save up, work overtime, do what ever, just don't waste time and money trying to fab something that already exsists, fab time will cost you much more in the long run-trust it. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

Jing Bad Guy 06-29-2004 06:38 PM

Yeah...the mode 6 os sweet...But I was thinking more squared off where the fenders meet the door. Again...it's just an idea that was rolling around in my head the other day. But thanks for your input bro. I'll think twice befor I make any sort of decision.

88gt 06-29-2004 06:39 PM

So true 89 Rag.. That's what I'm trying to get across to Jing Bad Guy..

Jing Bad Guy 06-29-2004 06:43 PM

Well...I did come here to find out what works...so if you guys say I'm better off going with something thats already in production...then I've just scraped me cheesy ass idea. Thanks for the input Bro's. I'll go with your flow. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/beerchug.gif

Her fenders aren't wide enough for me, but I'd sure as hell wouldn't mind riding her, I mean, taking her for a ride, I mean... ah damn it

Jing Bad Guy 06-29-2004 07:06 PM

those fenders look like ****. sorry. i like the FEED widebody kit. If it were me, I would keep the fenders and just upgrade the front bumper with the RE Amemiya FC2000 bumper that www.rotaryextreme.com sells. Keep it wingless. I just don't like the stock FC front bumpers. Everything is fine. Squared fenders, and squared rear end. Just the front bumper, is so godly gross.



I hope one day I can afford that front bumper. It is so SWEET!

I dont know about any of you, but this is the body kit for me. Sooooooo sexy https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/boink.gif



Works out to being about 3/4 of an inch wider in front and 2 inch's wider in the rear. Nothin to extreme, nice and clean https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

cymfc3s 06-30-2004 11:46 AM

im not a big fan of the wide body look. It changes the whole look and lines of the car. I am also not a big fan of slapping bondo on a perfectly good car....

Hahaha...Bondo. I emember my familys 1964 pontiac grand prix. It was like 72% bondo. LOL Thats what living on the oregon coast will do to ANY car. LOL.

I do agree that it's kinda silly slaping bondo no a perfectly good car though.

Aside from the front fender vent, its rather subtle too.

Jing Bad Guy 06-30-2004 03:18 PM

Yeah...it looks subtle....Too subtle. I like the more extream look. like the mode 6 from mariah. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683894.gif

88gt 06-30-2004 06:39 PM

When I mentioned the Mariah Fenders I was speaking of the Mode 5 Flared Fenders(about $270 a pop). These are simply bolt on. They actually use these on their EP 2nd Gen. Look Killer! The Mode 6 flared Fenders(about $500 a pop) you have mentioned is part of a larger kit. All molded.. and looks awesome. Lot's of man hours, then paint and don't forget about the custom rims!

Jing Bad Guy 06-30-2004 06:46 PM

88gt...the way I see it...If I'm even gonna go with the mode 6...I'll go full package. I like just about everything about that kit...even the options a killer. Although, I'm not sure about the hood...I was thinking something with a scoop would look nice and serve a better purpose of cooling the compartment. Pluss the scoops seem to add a more aggresive look to any car...IMO.

djgiantrobot 06-30-2004 08:59 PM

i think it looks like a peanut, i'm not really a fan. You either love it or you hate it, in most cases, people loved it or hated it about 15 years ago....

88gt 07-01-2004 01:41 PM

Have you ever seen the Mode 6 in person? Pictures do not do this car justice!

Jing Bad Guy 07-01-2004 01:43 PM

88gt...Unfortunatly...I've never seen ANY widbody kit on a rx7 before. Although, I heare there not to far from me so I may take a trip to there main shop and look at that black turbo 2 they have...it looks sweet in the pics.
