body kit?
ok I am having problems with the front end of my 8, this is the deal for the 8's that don't have a body kit and they jsut get this <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v231/youngen/sigs/IMAGE_00017.jpg"</a> the plastic gaurd for the bottom of the car. welll this keeps happening to me.
1.left side <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v231/youngen/sigs/IMAGE_00016.jpg">
the part that is circled in red is what is causing all the problems, that will scrape the bottom and in return cause the big massive gapping hole in the fends right above it.
2. right side.<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v231/youngen/sigs/IMAGE_00014.jpg"
well the same thing happened here but it ripped off over half of the bottom.
what should i do to stop this from happening, from what i can tell it looks like that the mazda speed body kits don't have these gay little plastic thingies but if they do $hlt i don't know what to do. These parts cost $90 for each fender, and $120 for the entire bottom piece, o and pluse all the screws on the inside of the bumper are destroyed so i have to buy a new front end anyways. so sombody please help me.

you don't need a new front. you need the pieces that attach to it.
you must replace them. even with any of the aftermarket fronts, you will also need those splash shields. they cover up the fender wall and the part side underneath to protect from rocks and other debri.
the middle underbody tray does not look too torn up. get some screws and put it back on. if you leave it the way it is, missing screws and such, you will need to replace it. the screws tend to loosen in time just to inform you.
look up www.onlinemazdaparts.com they have the right and left splash shields for about 55 -60 bucks each. you can also order all the fasteners online too or get them from you dealer, not that expensive.
