mazdaspeed body kit questions

i'm intersted in getting the mazdaspeed body kit for my 04 sunlight silver rx8 GT. Im considering ordering it soon, but i don't know how much it will cost to get it painted. Does anyone know a rough price to give me an idea how much it will run me in the end?

Contact your dealer. They will get it prepainted. Otherwise you can find unpainted pieces online and then contact a local body shop for a paint estimate.

Probably better just to purchase the pre-painted parts, if you're going to buy the whole set. Check Fluid Motorsports!

Prepainted Mazdaspeed bodykit will be cheaper, if they have it in your body's color. and quality is higher than a lot of shops can offer.

but if they dont have it (like mine, Black Cherry), well, gotta get the Primer and paint it at the shop of your choice (or do it yourself if you know how)

and yeah get it online, its cheaper than MOST local Mazda dealers.

just order it pre-painted. The whole kit isn't going to be cheap, but its well worth it.

I can tell that you park outside in the sun, this will make the paint fade a little. There's nothing you can do unless you wet sand it to get to the bottom layers of the paint where there is no oxidation from being parked outside.
