Body Kits !!!

I know there is a whole topic on body kits which i have attempted to read through but was hoping to get Oz opinions RE bodykits - inparticular the mazda factory and mazdaspeed kits.

What are the costs ?
Is the clearance adequate on each ?
can you order both from Mazda dealers?
which do you guys reckon looks better ?

Cheers

Although I love the MazdaSpeed kit, I doubt there are more functional benefit and $4000 down the drain for a decent front and side (genuine article).

I am NOT a stock look novelist and I think the Mazda factory look good. Maybe I will take Stuart's suggestion and eventually put a full side skirt on, rather than the half side skirt from Mazda factory.

I love track days and everytimes I get stacks of stone chips from it . If I had a geuine MazdaSpeed kit. I will go OUCH OUCH OUCH down the main straight :p

EDIT: For MazdaSpeed products you can only purchase via importing from a local mod shop. Dealer does not touch them or they charge you an arm and leg for it.

Maestro from NZ can help you since he is in NZ, mikeyr too!
