Yes it does It can be real, but I like the look with the eyelids and the clear corners, also that kit is good since it doesn't look too ricer-ish.

It's the Auto-bahn Strauss kit... you gotta order it overseas or through Mazdaparts.com Expect to pay a pretty penny to purchase the kit... roughly $2600-3000.

That's a winner, I'm surprised I don't recall seeing that kit before on the forums.

Time to save up

It's been posted before a long time ago (I should know since I started the thread...). There have been complaints/problems with just how low the front of that kit is... even if NOT dropped. So watch those curbs or get another kit.

There's a red 8 with the full INGS kit I see at my train station often. It looks sharp, but damn is it low...

Is the kit considered "low" because it's actually lower than other bodykits or that it sticks farther out than others?

Sticks out about 2-3 inches further out. If you have lowering springs/coilovers, good luck getting onto driveways. But this kit is still my favorite out of any kit out there. It looks even better in person. Ask IZoomZoomI how he likes the kit... he's the only one in the US with the kit so far, as far as I know.

The kit is pretty low, you can go as sideways as you want but some driveways it is impossible not to scrape.

But what I learn with this kit is the durability of fiberglass, this is no regular fiber glass lol. I had this kit on for a good half a year now, and had my fair share of bumps and scrapes, the only thing cracked is some hairline cracks on the paint. Pretty dam good for fiberglass, there were some reports the japanese fiberglass is a lot more durable than u.s made fiberglass, and after having scraped every driveway imagine I believe it.

Other than that the kit fits nearly perfect and the durabilty is real strong imo.

here's some pics
