Which body kit RX-7 2002 GT Widebody carbon fiber or Veilside Fortune RX7 body kit?

Hey guys im curious which body kit do you like better on the RX7, the RX-7 2002 GT Widebody carbon fiber body kit, or the Veilside Fortune RX7 body kit? Well included in the 2002 GT widebody kit, a carbon fiber N1 hood, carbon fiber doors, carbon trunk and wing, carbon mirrors, carbon headlights and taillights. Basically just carbon fiber everything on the 2002 GT wide body. I think that the 2002 GT widebody would be cheaper than the $15,000 Veilside kit. Plus I love carbon fiber.
Thanks,
Gabriel.

http://www.rotaryextreme.com/fdindex.html Go to aero body kit, 2002 gt wide body.
http://www.veilside.com/fortune/
The fortune model website.
Well you know, just regarding you saying buying another FD, true but why when I can make it badass with either of these body kits but is my opinion.

neiter, way to much going on with both of them. From a design point of view it ruins the flow of the car. There are very few kits out there that flow with the look of the car. So i say no kit, just a lip, slammed and rims

no its a customers car

IF i were to get the kit, i'd rather have the RE amemiya one, it looks more natural.

the veilside one looks okay until you hit the back, where it is completely fucked up. Also a bit gaudy imo

Why not put that $15K into making the car GO faster...rather than just look faster? With that money, you can almost do the third rotor conversion and double your torque

Doubt what? Isn't that around $18K for the upgrade? You really don't gain too much more HP (if at all) but your torque goes up to about 300. That's what they're using in the Star Mazda Series cars. There are 2-3 shops that can do it, I've read about them before

Kinda off topic of what this thread was initaly on.

But yes a 3 rotor will make 500whp, but so will your 13BT. So before you go and put a 20B in have a look at the money and time invested into the car. You will put ALOT of cash into a 20B swap but if you sell or write off the car you will get nothing for it.
