Has anyone used any of the body kit parts from this company?

I am looking at the front lip.

Thanks

Hello, Giving you an idea, this is not my own opinion but here it goes..

Back in the days when I was an RX7 Fanatic, I was part of the Mazda Rotary Club.. (mazdarotaryclub.com). A lot of bad publicity about replikit was on there, and the owner of replikit was registered on the forum as a trader I believe (?). People only mentioned about very poor fitting, poor quality and poor service. Some members also mentioned that they had given replikit some of their original bodykits to copy and were very unhappy when they were not given back for a long time etc.

I'm not saying they are a bad company I'm just saying what I saw at the time. This was around a year ago and things could have easily changed by then..

I'd advise you to have a look at the feedback on the MRC forum, see if there have been any changes since then.

Also I think the part you're getting is quite minor so I doubt it would have a problem with fitting etc.

Best of luck
Joeh

Do a search, I've heard good and bad things about the fitment, poor fitment etc on here regarding kits for the s2k.

My front bumper on the Prelude took the bodyshop 3 hours of prepwork just to get it to fit. This was after they chopped an inch out of it.
