Smile Good Fitting Body Kits

Just search and you will find your answer. Most replica kits have shitty fitment, but can occasionally look ok with the right body shop. Will cost you a lot to do that though. Like I said just search for any body kits you are considering and you will find some answers.

bleh I hate the veilside kit. body kits are alot like anything else you buy aftermarket for your car... you get what you pay for. cheap kit will most likley not fit properly and not hold up well. spend some money and it should fit up nice and last a long time.

Anything authentic that's at least $1k for a front bumper seems about right. Ask me how I know...

I figured when someone mentions Veilside that the trollface is implied

Well since the Mazdaspeed kit is discontinued, the only good looking kits out there are from autoexe.

mmmm yes autoexe, Mazmart is having a christmas sale too! get a quote if you are serious.

I also like the feed bumper, or if you want to save a few dollars, the replica from shine fits ehhh decently.

As far as mazdaspeed replicas, the company KBD has a good track record of fitting pretty well compared to all the others. Ive heard about 2 bad reviews on their MS front bumper replica, and about 8 positive reviews, and have seen 4 pics of them fitting pretty well.

The Vertex replica by VIS is a crapshoot, 70% of the time you will get a front bumper that is fittable with work. Ive heard equal stories on both sides to whether they were trash or fit kind of decently.

tho the mazdaspeed kit is discontinued you can still find the authentic parts. I have a BNIB stormy blue diffuser which is authentic. Ive actually noticed alot of authentic ms parts painted stormy blue popping up lately. maybe that color wasnt too popular for ms parts? lol
