Hi everyone,

I've been doing some research about the different body kits. So far i am torn between a few of the replica style kits.

Tsnami kit
Autobahn kit
ings style body kit
Mazdaspeed kit

Which one would you choose?

Also where can i get these style of kits that have really good fitting? Provide a link

these are some very nice kits! I have no personal experience with these kits but things to think about when researching them are
1. cost
2. fitment
3. durability
some of the cheaper kits are that cheap for a reason!
good luck with your search

I've heard (through no particularly reliable source) that they no longer make mazdaspeed body kits.

Tsunami is discontinued. You MIGHT find him selling his last few on ebay but I think they're all but gone.

Autobahn is still made an imported directly from Japan vis companies such as japanparts.com or bulletproofautomotive.com
There are replicas of this bumper out there so pay attention as to what you're buying.

Ings also comes from Japan

Mazdaspeed has been discontinued. Again, there MIGHT be some remaining parts around but you'll need to call every MS dealership you can think of and see if they have any lying around.




P.S. My vote is for Autobahn. Then again, I might be a little biased towards that particular bumper....

The only replica kits that I have seen that may be a close fit is the Mazdaspeed or Autobahn

Best off getting the real thing.

Tsunami, then MS, then Autobahn and then the last one.

The MS one is great, but played out. The last one looks like an adapted INGS+1 kit. The Tsunami one just looks sweet. It's sharp and on the attack.

^^^ problem with that order is your first two pics are discontinued.
As much as we all should be picking our favorite look, I think we owe it to the OP to help make him aware of what his viable options are and Tsunami and MS aren't exactly it.

Polish Person

Nothing gold can stay. Haha. Someone said there might be some Tsunami still floating about. I'd jump on them.

Isn't the MS one still on Mazda's site?

Polish Person

Ya. The MS kit is still sold and warrantied through Mazda. It's a cool $1,300, but if you can part with it, the kit is there.

Your funny!

She has a special coat on the bumper to stop rock chips that we are testing at the track.

Jealousy is bliss.

INGs all the way. Everything flows perfectly, if you ask me. Seems like they know their kit is the best looking and priced it ridiculously as a result; have fun paying $1250 for an unpainted bumper when you can get the full Tsunami kit for $1000:

Apparently he has 2 left. I don't know anything about Tsunami as far as fitment goes, but it is a rather unique kit and not too many users run it, and even less will run it since like others have said, it is no longer in production.

Voting against Mazdaspeed. No offense to you MSpeed 8s out there, but I can't get over how plain and boring the entire kit looks.
