Not a fan, especially the stubby nose the kit gives the car. A good kit should accentuate the lines of the car not put them out of proportion. The M3 mirrors cheapen the car a little too. I do like the wheels though.

The nose is indeed too short. Otherwise I'd say it's perfect, the bolt on looks works much better on the RX7 than on E92s or R35s.

I'm not a fan of the kit on the R35 or E92 either. The similar kit for the S13 looks better IMO. My problem with the flares is that I always loved the proportions of the RX7 in the first place whereas the S13 is more of a blank canvas and is more boxy. I'd like to see it with a stock front bumper and no diffuser then maybe I'd like the rest of the kit more.

My complaints:

The wing isn't molded at all. That just looks stupid

The rear diffuser looks like it's being held on with wood screws and zip ties

They left the stock amber in the tails

That ridiculous cut out for the gas cap. Might as well shave it and put it in the trunk

They did all that work, but couldn't fit the door right?

The stupid lights/ turn signals in the front bumper

The grill in the bumper making it look like a pig nose s13

If they're going full ridiculous body kit, why leave the stock hood?

The M3 mirrors

From back with the wide butt it sorta strikes me as another japanese carbon copy of american muscle, this time of the late Firebird

I like

Agreed on all counts pretty much. Speedhunters seem to have a boner for Kei Muira (dude who makes rocket bunny stuff) but it's mostly the same ducktail spoiler, bolt on fenders in the same shape and recently the snub nosed front bumper on every single car. I do like the kits on the S13 and the FRS when executed properly though.

It's not bad from the back other than the diffuser, the wheel fitment is a little strange too.

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > Dsscats 07/06/2014 at 19:22

Whats wrong with looking like a pig nose S13.

Problem is, it's an RX-7 so no matter how bad it's crapped up (Veilside), it's still at worst, awesome.

For the money, make mine a Pettit Banzai 20B

This is true although a tastefully modded RX7 would be super awesome and therefore bringing it down to just awesome is an insult. Also I must admit I kinda like some of veilsides work...

ahh...it has too much NSX in it. Aesthetically speaking, I always felt the NSX was way overrated. Why not just get the Esprit? I saw a stock FD over the weekend, and for the most part, it looked like it could have been made today, and that's a BIG compliment.

I would never turn an RX7 into a fortune but as kits go I like it, saying it has NSX looks to it is kinda a compliment as it means the kit looks more OEM than cheesy. I'd have an NSX over an Esprit mainly because of the Esprit interior being more cramped than I'd prefer. Also reliability...

The FD does still look great, some of the later model cars in a lighter colour look like they just rolled off the line. I'd kill for a clean spirit R.

I honestly thought it was a miata at first.
