The MS kit looks awesome from the front, good from the side and I have only see one picture of it from the back, the rear bumper looked like cheap plastic. Anyone have rear pictures besides this one.

Also does anyone have any experience with the rotary extreme Mazdaspeed style bodykit. The full kit can be had for $1750.
Is it supposed to be the exact same thing?
Their website only has a picture of it with the front bumber on.

I recently purchased the RE MS style kit... I test fitted it this past Saturday and was perfect! It is at the paint shop as we speak. Here are some observations....
positives:
-as stated before, the kit fits perfectly!!
-with chuck enclosing everything i needed, this is the BEST alternative for those not willing to dish out 4K for the real kit.
-Chuck is the BEST!! answered every single question i had for him.
negatives:
-the kit wasn't as sturdy as i would like. I reinforced the kit with about 5 to 7 layers of extra fiberglass. (yes i know it adds weight but with a wife driving the car sometimes, it is a must to have as sturdy of a kit as i can get.)
I will be posting pictures sometime this coming weekend....

i know a buddy who use to work at a local import shop. He now owns his own autobody store and gave me a great deal (600 for reinforce fiberglass, test fit, paint, fog light mounting, front bumper mesh install, install kit & custom paint of my plastic engine covers). i will be picking up the plastic pieces tomorrow so i will post pix of how they turned out.
and yes, i will take a couple of rear shots when the kit is installed.
