Heard the kit is somewhat flimsy compare to the true Mazdaspeed, can you tell us if you added extra to the kit? And how much was the total installation with the paint?

i added about 5 to 7 layers of extra fiberglass. and total for paint and installation was 600 dollars.

Cool, thanks for the info, not sure if I want to fork over for the kit just yet... hmmm still waiting on more products for the 8 to come out. But definitely it looks cool.

I'm trying to get used to the looks, at least it covers the oil coolers. Your tires seem to be out of proportion (small) compared to the installed kit. Just my opinion of course. If you like it then it's all gravy, congrats.

TrAsHeR 01-03-2004 04:59 PM

I can be honest, right?

I wouldn't get it for mine. Sure looks better than stock but for some reasons I don't really like it. Maybe that'd change if you drop your ride height by 2 inches, IMO the car needs to be lowered to look good with a kit

But for course, I could be wrong. I bet it looks better in person :)

wow
very nice
I'm jealous

Omicron 01-03-2004 08:45 PM

Very nice indeed, me likes! :D

But now tell us a bit more about the extra fiberglass that that you needed... how did you add it? Home Depot spray on fiberglass? :D

Also curious as to why you have no rear spoiler. Are you not going to add one at all, or are you just waiting on the perfect one?

So, hmmm..... at Trussville Mazda the Mazdaspeed kit costs $2742 excluding the rear wing, and the Rotary Extreme kit costs $1750, for a difference of $992. Paint and such cost $600, so the net savings is $392. Hmmmmm.......

Did you keep the factory fog lights and just mount them behind the grill mesh, or are those different fog lights all together?

They are the stock fog lights.

Yes, it was the spray on fiberglass

Still searching for the perfect one!

The kit looks great, but I don't know about the foglights behind the grill.
