I'm sure this will be an easy question for most of you thread junkies, but I saw this online once and I'm not sure which body kit it is.
Currently my guess is it is the Mazdaspeed. Out of curiosity, how did he get the nice gray "accents" on the sideskirts and the air dams. Was it just repainted? Sorry but wasn't sure how to "search" for a picture. LOL thanks in advance for any help.

no pic, but yes it's the mazdaspeed. the gray trim at the bottom comes with the kit. on the authentic only. they come prepainted already.

xdeed you forget to mention no extended wings. That has got to be one of the most gayest things you could ever do to your 8!!

Yeah, freaking race car drivers driving track-only cars with big wings! What the hell, that is sooo gay (Because wings can be homosexual, ya know)! What do they think that wing actually does, produce downforce!??

WoW! What an amazing session of replies. Thank you everyone! A few more quick questions.

1. To me the car looks amazing, but the Veilside side skirt doesn't come painted correct? 2. Also it's not polyurethane like the mazdaspeed kit, does anyone have any information on how resilient the veilside sideskirt is for daily driving?
3. Is it possible to get the feed front end? I've seen the replica on the site a few times, but where can I get the original? and how much would it be?

Once again, thank you for everyones time and help =)

veilside doesn't come painted and is made of fiberglass. you will be fine daily driving as long as you don't bottom out or hit anything. japanese fiberglass is thinner and more durable than american fiberglass so if it gets hit a little, it would probably be fine. good thing about fiberglass is if it is ever damaged, you can fix it.

same thing with the feed front end. you can get the original from japanparts.

I like the looks too. however I noticed the front bumper from the side shot.

It looks like it bulges out.

Spoiler, well need to see it in person.

So I've decided that this will be my new setup. Although, I am still worried about getting a fiberglass front end. Unfortunately, (or maybe fortunately) I scratched my rear bumper on my birthday. So now I at least have the incentive to just buy it sooner than later...lol Is japanparts really the best place to buy all these parts at once? Does anyone know somebody there that I can call and maybe get a deal?

Well there is a replica kit of the FEED which will be done fairly soon. If you go to the Group Buy centre and search the FEED GB you'll see some very good prices and the material it's made out of is a flexible fibreglass. You should also do a search and read up on the company doing this replica, they have been known for their quality and good fitment. There are still a few spots left on the GB so jump in!

chrism

it looks almost the same as my set up...only difference is i got a VS front not Feed

elemental

To be honest, I've just never been a big fan of replicas. I personally, have not seen one that is up to par with an original. My biggest fear is just spending the money on this kit and having it get destroyed over time because its fiberglass. Sigh....

BTW....Chris do you have pictures of your setup? How nice are the veilside pieces? Any problems with rocks or curbs etc? How much did it cost you to have the veilside pieces painted? Where did you purchase the kit if you don't mind me asking.

click the link im the first post.....my kit is fiberglass but i havent had any issues yet and i live near NYC which is pot hole ridden and has the worst parking i have ever seen....rock chips your gonna get....curbs you learn to angle up on.....paint and fit will vary depending on the kit.....i got lucky with the mazdaspeed rear cuz it was already painted and i paid $250 for the sides to be fitted/painted and $575 for the front.....but i also have a 3 stage paint and its 2-toned so it cost more

elemental

WOW! Chris your car looks awesome. I'm still tempted to take the easy route and just get the mazda speed kit, but who knows...I know when you have polyurethane you just don't see the rock chips as easily than on fiberglass. That rear lip spoiler looks nice, what kind is it? I also noticed you blacked out the tailights. Did you do that yourself?

chrism

you will see rock chips on any lowered front end.....it dont matter if its metton, fg or poly u....i did the brake lights with vht tint and sprayed them myself....the rear spoiler is a CF lip spoiler...to me mazdaspeed is nice but its getting played out.....its also very expensive..

Yup front is FEED, Veilside side skirts, and MS rear. And a rear wing taken from a local park bench.

btw, mazdaspeed is not polyurethane, its made of metton.

some materials may acquire rock chips easier..

fiberglass provides no play on the painted surfaces so they get rock chips much easier than urethane, polyurethane, or metton.
