Yea I was thinking about putting the Mazda symbol on the front also because I think it looks plain.

love the body-kit, dude....but hate the wheels. wheels are ruining it. I never understand why people want to go eye-blinding crome.... It would look way better with black wheels with chrome lips. Too much crome is ugly..period!!

Dude I actually bought the car with those wheels already on it. I probably never would have put 20s on there. I still like them though. When I get enough money I might change to 18" Gun metal Volk SF Challenge's.

Here are some closer up pics. These are pics from the night of the install and the day after. I haden't washed the car, waxed it, or removed the swirls from the front bumper.


Do you guys think I should get the Racing Beat rear bumper fairings?

Like the front bumper but hate the rest of the kit. I'm tired of seeing the MS sides as a part of every kit. The rear add ons look just like the stock pieces. I would have just bought the front and found sides and a rear bumper that went well the front.

i like the auto exe kit...always have....
i think perhaps the custom grill pieces take away from the beauty of the nose...
I would like to see pics without them to make a true judgment..

all in all the kite looks hawt...

PS>.. get the rear

I really like what you have done 8fanatic, would'nt change a thing. As for others saying the front bumper is too high, sure you can start hugging the ground with your bumper, the bumper won't be there too much longer to hug anything
