R-magic WIDEBODY KIT

Well we are busy as heck and I havent had time to come to this forum, but I figured I would post this to let you see whats poping threw. Maybe you guys know about it or maybe not, I didnt see it in any recent threads so here it is.

I have more pics, but this one is from the R-Magic webpage

Yeah I would have had some pics from Autosalon since I stopped in there to talk parts, but my camera was totally full. I can get some pics easily. I will be back...

Jason,
on another thread posted by Eastern Moon, there is a R-Magic boot lip spoiler, which he said was not yet on their website.

Any information?

How about this. I can see in the background of his pics they were taken at DAIKOKUFUTO (better known as the bay bridge) but the spoiler looks Mazdaspeed and nothing else but it to me in his pics, but the pics are tiny.

No... that' s an island that holds part of the bay bridge and has a rest area. So I wouldn't say Daikokufutou = Bay Bridge... :D

Daikokufuto is the name of the rest stop are (check next time your there)

Americans call is the bay bridge instead of Daikokufuto so thats the way most people relay the name.

I didnt say Daikokufuto=baybridge. Read again its says BETTER KNOWN AS

:p

To be honest I'd have no idea what most Americans in Japan call anything in Japan...

Actually the rest area is named after the land that it is built upon. Like Shinagawa@futou (where Tokyo Immigration has been relocated)... a futou is a wharf.

You did say "better known as"... which essentially does mean "=." You can say... "hey do you know 'the beast?' No? Well he's better known as Bob Sapp." Here "the beast" = Bob Sapp.

I was basically splitting hairs in the other post... don't sweat it. Not a big deal. You are right that the pic is at Daikokufutou... I was just pointing out that it isn't better known as the Bay Bridge, but is a rest area on the the Bay Bridge. Like I said... splitting hairs. :D

is the kit going to be made out of fiberglass?

also i'm sorta unknown to this area with wide body. would you need some extra add on part to extend the wheels so they are not way in the fender lining with the widebody? if so is the part included with the cost of the kit or do you need to buy it seperate? if no extra part is needed how exactly is extending the wheels out done? and is extending the wheels out safe to the car, i would think it would sink low in the middle and mess something up?

The fender flares come as part of the package as Iunderstand. Inaddition to front and rear fascia and a spoiler is why it's so expensive.
