The RE-A one is always a popular choice!

i got 1 from ebay which looks pretty good, http://shop.ebay.co.uk/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p5197.m570.l1311&_nkw=rx7+bodykit&_sacat=See-All-Categories#

Yea I like the look of this one on ebay
MAZDA RX7 FD REAR bumper bodykit RE2 speed DIFFUSER But, not sure if it would be a good fit? are they not to bad to fit? I like the style of this one.

they fit not too badly thats the same as mine, you do have to cut out holes for the towing eyes or remove them (i cut mine) and there is a little gap on 1 of the corners but you only notice it up close

It\'s entirely personal choice,just bare in mind often ones on eBay (including the one you like) are made of FRP not Carbon, and for a diffuser that you might catch on speedbumps, you really do want a stronger build, that\'s my opinion anyway

Also ebay jobbies aren\'t always a fantastic fit

the second pic is a sanai diffuser, not a re-a.

Lacey · July 09, 2011, 02:41:19 PM

Ah, sorry, not an FD person, I google searched \'RE-Amemiya rear diffuser FD\' so thought they were the same, I stand corrected

Beat me too it Marco.
You\'ve got the choice of 3 mainly. ReAmemyia Pro or Street diffuser, or the Sanai one like on the 2nd pic in Laceys first reply.
Unless you\'re taking your car on track and pushing it to the limits then the choice is really cosmetic and which one suits your car better.
As has been said, copies can be a poor fit, Myself and Nik da Greek spent the best part of a day trying to get a street diffuser on to his car and that ended in lots of cutting to get it looks as best we could.
If you\'ve got the money then buy genuine, but be prepared to part with the best part of Â£1k for a Sanai or Pro diffuser (and that doesn\'t include the side vortex piece)

There are other but they are very rare and very hard to find. Mazdaspeed and Knightsports spring to mind (never seen a Knightsports one)

What kind of exhaust do you have? does it clear it ok?

I have a genuine RE-A pro diffuser in black. Same as the top one above but FRP (fiberglass) its an excellent fit as you expect from a genuine unit, recently resprayed so in good order. Cant see the point in carbon ones as its under the car, however i do understand having the vortex generators in carbon as they stand out.

Price is Â£300
