Hi, I am purchasing a Ae Fc and I am looking for a site that I would be able to purchase oem front bumper and fenders. I have looked at a few places and all I see is after market body kits, I would like to keep the exterior as non ricey and stock as possible. I found one of the Ae Badges on ebay, but if anyone has information on that I would also appreciate it. I am located in New Jersey. Any help with reputable shops, tuners, or vendors in this area would really help.



Thanks in advance,



Mike

Price is a concern, but I am more worried about being able to find them in a reasonable amount of time. I might end up buying a aftermarket front bumper as a temp or finding a semi stock looking one.

You can buy brand new oem style bumpers from sellers on eBay and I think the same sellers have new fenders also.

Okay, I looked on ebay and didnt see anything, but body kit front bumpers and could nit find a fender. I called a multitude of shops and found a bumper and fender off of a white turbo rx-7. They told me it would fit, but I wanted to make sure their are no major differences between the Ae and regular turbo model. The price seems very low, 240 shipped for both.

Thanks again

Sounds a little low for me, but it all depends on condition of the panels, how long they've been sitting and how bad they want to move them. It's hard to say, but there's tons of sites that sell all sorts of pieces off junked rx-7s. Best chance for a good deal, though is to find a forum for rotaries that caters to where you live. That way, you just make a deal with someone who has a spare, no markups or shipping, pick it up and that's it. That's how I got my seats, little pieces of trim that were cracked, even some aftermarket parts that were unused.

There's got to be a local rotorhead in Jersey who has a lead on the parts you want or can let you know of a place to hunt for em.
