RE-Amemiya Body kit
It's been a while.
OK I had a little fender bender which tore off my Veilside kit. I was going to go with the Mazdaspeed front bumper and skirts to use my Mazda dealer. As I looked into the cost I am thinking of going with this kit instead. I have heard that some members have this kit...before I buy it I wanted to hear some feedback on the quality of the kit. How well does it fit, did it arrive in good condition ect.
Appreciate any help

i know. But I didnt know who he was without checking. With the guys history wouldn't you assume the kit is of high quality as I am taking some heat from people who view it as a knock off kit

my front isnt a perfect fit but i have a reason. i was in an accident before i had put the body kit on and the place told me that the original place that repaired my car did not properly realign the front end. so my bumper is a little crooked nothing major. i saw shinka213's vertex bumper and it was perfect

not to get off subject on this thread but after I complete the kit I want to lower the car a bit...tire gap I see many people going with the Tein basic coilovers. If I doubt I will do much if any autocross, springs instead of coilovers is my way to go. Is this correct

springs are a bit cheaper than coilovers and probably just easier to do in general. i went with the tein basics which were about $650 if i remember correctly. i'm very happy with them. i do plan on tracking the car which is why i went with the coilover. springs should be plenty in your case

Seriously, whoever said that to you... you should never talk to them again. Are they a member on the forum? If so - please say who.

I refuse to throw anyone under the bus. If u are willing to do a little research and realize I live in Florida.....You could easily find the knock off comment.
More important is the reason I started the thread. I need advise on how the fitment is. I have limited funds. I have only found the kit available on vivid racing. Cost $3000 I still need to paint and fit. My brother in law can paint and I hope together we can assemble it. If the fit is good I feel ok if the fit requires a lot of expertise then I would hate to have a kit that I need to sit on until I can afford to have it installed professionally.
Advise from owners please

Did you notice the side markers are non existant on the kit? I do like the front bumper and skirts, not a fan of the rear bumper though
NYCGPS as far as fitment do you speak from experiance????
