Building a race car and would rather not spend big $ on an authentic kit when it will most likely get mushed. Any decent ones out there? Or are they all crap? Just read the thread about the "accolade" kit and I'm not impressed...

you get what you pay for.....and if you plan on smushing what difference does fitment make?

shouldn't bother much with appearance mods if your going race car.

Thanks guys. Build should start this week or next. I bought a kit from KGS Engineering including the wing. I'm not too concerned with fit as the whole car will need to be repainted and it will be spending some time in our bodyshop. Those guys can make it work. I wanted to use a kit because we expect to bang it up and the kit pieces are a lot cheaper to replace or fix then the stock parts and the look cooler.
BTW check out my stock parts for sale post...

Please post with how the KGS kit fitmet was... I to have been looking at this kit and the main reason for not getting it yet was there are no reviews on fitmet that I found

Don't the rules list by part number what Mazdaspeed body parts have to be on the car. If I am correct, your car wouldn't pass tech with replica parts.

This is true but we are running the car this year mostly as a development mule for the other team. Most likely the kit won't last the season so if the car does make it to KONI then we will replace with the real kit.
