I thought the RB kit was rather unspectacular but the more I looked at it I saw many aspects that were really appealing.
First the fit looked excellent. There were no unsightly gaps and the fitment was superior to the port installed OEM package. Also the nose, while a little plain was solidly built and maintained adequate ground clearance. The lip was a little notchy to me but matches the lines of the rest of the kit. My overall impression was it looks stock. my .02

I like the kit...I like the Mazdaspeed kit better, and in fact I think I like the Appearance Package + Mazdaspeed spoiler (what I have) a bit better as well...but I do like it. It looks like it came from the factory.
Then again, I tend to hate all the overtly flashy boy racer kits like Veilside, et al so if you like that kind of thing I can see why this one would be a bit of a let-down.

Functionally this kit seems superior to OEM. The nose protects the radiator a little better and covers the bumper reinforment bar without trim or a false grill. Like other RB products, you can't fault the engineering. I like the looks just not much more than than stock.

well, I plan to go with the R-Magic Front Lip, for the sides I haven't decided between the R-Magic or Mazdaspeed, for the rear I want something that will show the rotay accent, I might just go with the rear mud guards or something to that effect. And as for the spoiler I like the look without a spoiler, but this RB spoiler is just my cup of tea.

My first thought was it was not enough, but then I realised that is the point. It is a bit more aggressive and different but not over the top. It could be stock and the fit and finish looks oem.
One interesting note is that it does not lower the car. The appearance package lowers more than the RB. This is good if you are worried about bottoming out.
I think I am going to go with the RB setup once it is released being the RB ***** that I am. :D
