re amemiya rx7 taking best of show at rotorfest.well you guys get the point hes very qualified.
but he is leaving on vacation this week and cant work on my car till july 26.ouch

Wow, nice paint job on that spoiler! Dang, and you got it done so quickly too. You said it only took Mark 40 seconds? Now that's quality work that's done fast!











OK, well, someone had to...:D

How come it looks slightly different... I think it is just the colour of the car.

If you don't tell people it is a copy, no one can tell.

Well done.

8aby8, you got the MS kit in Australia yet?

It doesn't look that bad.

If you didn't say it was a replica, I doubt I would have been able to tell.

The color seems to be slightly different on the spoiler than the rest of the car.

Oh I thought I'd let you guys know that I did run across a website with an ABS plastic knockoff version with metal pedastels a few weeks ago.. I'm sure someone will come across it in a few weeks......it looks to be of decent quality from the pics I saw.

the arrow is the only thing that kind of bothered me but a easy sanding and straighting from the body shop and they said she be okay.

its made out of abs isnt that fiberglass ?well the top part of the wing which is thick
and feels like a urethane bumper and its stamped with a abs emblem.
lower spoiler is not as thick as the top part.

all in all it may not be original but for the price
you cant beat it.
im thinking of doing the metal stands
but not sure how it will hold up with the fiberglass againts it or the vibrations stress it will cause on the fiberglass so for now i will leave it alone and install it the way i got it.all fiberglass
what do you guys think ?
and post some pixs of it on when you guys have a chance.
