RX7 Fortune BodyKit

[maz13b]

Hello.

Was just curious what would be the top price you would pay for fortune bodykit if you would want to get one including installation and painting.

I personaly would pay more then 5k for it.  
Interested to get others opinion.

?

The bodykit alone is something like 7k-8k so I\'m not quite sure that I understand your question?

That said, you\'ll find that opinions on the Fortune kit are a tad, erm, divided...

[maz13b]

I know what the price of the actual bodykit is but whatis the absolut max price would you pay if you could pay less....  in other words for example if someone told you can have it for 6k including installation would you pay that? if not whats the maximum you would?

well if you could get it done for 6k then why would you want to pay more :s i have seen the kit for £6k at the lowest and probs about 2-3k to get it fitted

i think he is asking what do you think it is worth fitted.
I which case i wouldn\'t pay more than £3k.

Personaly I think it would be in the couple of hundred rather than thousands as I think the kit totaly detroyes the flowing lined of the rex!! Then you have to think about the few grand for wide rims!!

not sure i really understand what your asking....but if the kit is say 6k..from my experiance expect to pay at least 4k to get it fitted and painted from a proper place....theres alot of work involved and this would be an inside out paint job and alot of people go two tone which means more time(more money)... you would also need to cut away inner rear qtrs to allow for wheel clearance..a set of custom split rims 2k min, new exhaust, custom rear panel to allow you to take your bulbs out of the rear lights, a set of coilovers etc.....just buy one done....was one on ebay starting at 12k...if your saying you could have a genuine kit supplied, fitted and painted for 6k then i\'d say that was an effing bargain...

+1 :Thumbs-up

well.  I know a guy who sells it in uk for 4k. which brings me to the question whether there is any market for copies.

[D2BBA]

Thought there was something behind that initial question!

Copying the kit would be a waste if you ask me.  The real money is in fitting the kit well and then painting it and ancillaries such as wheels to match.  Would you really want to save a few ££s on the kit and end up with a potentially inferiour copy version, when you still have to spend a fortune (pardon the pun) on the other bits and knowing you own the fake?

Just my 2p

I am not in any sort of auto business at this point so my questions wasnt related to any sort of profit etcs.  Someone I know just aprouched me and asked me if I want to get in to Auto industry and start doing bodykits, bodyworks, spraying etc... so I was curious if there is a marked for it. And to be honest being an owner of an RX7 I would never pay 6k+ for a bodykit if I can get a copy of it for 3k and just make its done well.  That was the whole intention of the question.

best regards
