I went to the body shop today to check up on my FD. The body shop guy said the insurance company is paying for all the brand new '93 parts needed for my car.. which is mainly the front bumper, hood, fender and pop up light(s) and to have my entire car re-painted. I have an option to go ahead and get the '99 spec kit, from SR Motorsports, that I was wanting for $3K. If I go ahead and get it through the insurance company I'll be saving about $900, so then I'm looking at $2K for a '99 front bumper (w/ turning lamps) the rear adj. spoiler, round tail lights and the new looking emblems.. I've thought about getting just the rear adj. spoiler, '99 front lip, and round tail lights.. but not sure.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/dunno.gif So.. should I go ahead and break out the extra $2K for it or save the money for something else? Any suggestions? Thanks.

PM me... hehe What color do you want? If you throw that all

in 1 box, I can make you a deal granted the 99spec lamps will

be new, and maybe the lip, but everything else will be USED

Ya PM Jason.....then if you want Pm me too. Why, I don't know, just to say hi. HAHA

as for the body, go with the 99 spec. Do it now and get it over with. It looks a lot better, and seeing how the car needs paint and ****, you can get it all done at once.

**** I wish I got a deal.

I asked about used parts a long time ago.

99 spec....... i just bought mine https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

FikseRxSeven 02-13-2003 12:02 AM

i got the whole front with lights, rebar, lip, and ducts from rx7 store for 1699 dollars

rx7machine 02-13-2003 12:06 AM

That's what I was thinking.. :smirk: but still unsure.. since the insurance company would only cover 900, and I'd have to pay the 2K..

Not bad.. Oh yea, another thing is that damn license plate holder.. I dislike it... and the body shop guy wasn't really up for taking it off..

JT-Imports 02-13-2003 12:14 AM

BOOST---Thats a different story, since we are trying to do the GB, the GB would be much cheaper

FikseRxSeven 02-13-2003 12:19 AM

hmmmm i never really gave the license plate thing much thought....... now that i think about it.... im not too fond of it..... oh yeah, it came with the fog lights as well

Mazdabation 02-13-2003 12:33 AM

well here we have front licence plates, so the front holder would be put to use.

I dunno...put a nice "RX-7" plate in there, you know the black one from the factory demo cars.

Or you could always put on that plate with the flag on it. The red plate with the blue cross and stars (sorry can't remember what its called), Like I always see on the american honky cars.

HAHAHA https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Do you mean the Confederate flag (rebel)?

FikseRxSeven 02-13-2003 12:41 AM

yeah here in jersey we gotta have plates front and back, so that lil protruding thing will be put to use

Mazdabation 02-13-2003 12:42 AM

Ya thats it.....HAHA

I always see it on the cars when in the states.

Not trying to make fun......if someone likes them. Its just every time I see them they are on some rednecks truck.

They make me laugh when they step out and have all their teeth missing

and smell like pig ****.

I know some people that are mildly like that.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

badk to the topic........... i would go with the 99 spec(i mean i did already) but i think adding 800 bucks isnt too bad if you get it through rx-7store.net

We have the same laws here in CA, but I dont have any on my stock 93 bumper and the couple of times i have been pulled over the cops never said anything. If a LA cop hasn't messed with me (and they're dicks) then you should be ok. Also you might want to check the laws. Some places say that if it dosen't come with a front plate you don't need one.

JimmyJimboJet 02-13-2003 06:55 PM

do you have a deadline to decide what you wanna do? i say 99 spec the whole way. and don't do just the front and wing or whatever, get everything.



the tail lights you could do yourself too, unless you're **** and have to have the real thing.

Well.. deadline.. next week.. Actually I already told the body shop guy to go ahead and order the '93 parts from mazda (since insurance will pay for them) I think I'm going to just get the '99 spoiler and maybe the '99 front lip, because I don't really want to be spending money on the body.. I was forced into it..

humm.. why not?

Damn.. I was thinking about getting just the front lip and rear spoiler.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Fd3BOOST 02-17-2003 12:09 AM

I guess the price Jason would be roughly $700 for the front?

Yea, I think the possible group buy for the '99 front is $700. Sucks for me, cause my body shop buy is going to be getting the '93 front bumper from mazda this coming week.. that's cool with me though.. I can deal with the OEM one.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png but, just thought about getting the '99 lip and rear spoiler to spice things up a bit.. :smirk:
