Oh I'm sorry I thought I recognized you member id from another local forum. Was going to say that there's a dealer near me that offers a 25% discount on them.
I ordered my kit (minus the bumper) from mazda-parts.com. Shipping is what kills you (in addition to the cost of the kit). The bumper was going to cost $300 to ship to me in Illinois, so instead I got it locally. The other parts ordered online cost $100 total for shipping. Don't be fooled though, on the website shipping prices are incorrect for those parts (it says $17.00 or something), they will correct it and tell you that it's wrong after you buy it! I just think it's a flaw on their website, not intentionally done.
Some dealers have affiliations with local clubs. Might want to find out if there are any clubs in your area that you can register with and find out if a discount applies with a dealer close to you. You'll pay taxes but not shipping. Just saying.

How much is the kit at that dealership? That inclues front,side,rear,spoiler right. Painted or non painted. I don't really need it painted because getting a new paint job this spring anyways. Thanks

yeah with all due respect, one man's "perfect" fitment is another's **** fitment. not saying yours doesn't fit well, but different people have different ideas of a great fitting body kit. i highly doubt any replica is perfect w/o body shop modification.
my 2 cents...unless you know a body shop and/or painter and have a guaranteed good price on body work, buy authentic. keep your eyes our for used kits, that's how i got mine. i just got a non-authentic rear and the fitment is nowhere near perfect (although it's passable as a daily driver until i can save up for the body work).
so the amount you're saving up front washes away really quickly...we can have a million threads about this but it's always the same answer. i guess if perfect, flush seams are not that important, by all means, buy a replica, but at your own risk. also, fitment varies more with replicas, so yours might be great, and the next one crap, or vice versa, so you have to take that risk too. authentic ms is from mazda, it fits guaranteed.
