So what do you guys think of that? Total cost is $938 (not including painting of skirts). It will basically look like the kit shine has except that I’ll rather pay a little extra and now that the rear and front will have no fitment issues and already be painted. This way I can get the TV too. Any thoughts?

The flat black was about $58, with wet-sanding duties completely by moi. Having it sprayed by a body shop would probably run a couple hundred dollars, if that much. There's not much labor involved that way. They're also doing my Extreme Dimensions rear wing in the same black too.
Oh, I didn't get your PM...

I made up my mind, MS front and Skirts are being purchased next week. Not sure about the rear. Will the aero flares be enough for the rear? Time to do some price shopping.

Dang, how many of those Autobahn kits did they sell right off the bat? I remember Ken said he was going to make them something of an "exclusive", but I don't think he'd refuse someone waving money under his nose!

What is the issue with the Autobahn rear and exhaust issues. Will it fit around my MS exhaust? Will the Auto Exe or Autobahn kits fit with my MS CAI? Getting closer and closer to my decision. One more question I saw that mazdaparts.com has a MS urethan kit for about $975. I did a search and found threads on the rotary extreme one but not the mazdaparts one. Do any of you know if its any good? I heard that urethane is a little better under collision conditions beacuse it flexes. But it's down side is that it can warp in extreme heat. Any ideas on the MS urethane kit?

Basing your bodykit decision around what TV you can afford to purchase is inherently illogical. The TV will go on sale at Easter, and again Memorial Day, and again during the July 4th holiday. In August, the price will drop further as MFGs begin to clear out stock in anticipation of the upcoming Christmas season's new models. On the other hand, you'll have to look at that body kit every time you climb into your car. Everyone will look at it at every RX-8 meet you attend. Girls in fast-food drive-thrus will snicker if it looks like crap. No one will care that you have a Plasma TV at home. Everyone has a Plasma or HD TV anymore... Now if you needed that TV to watch the Speedsource RX-8 GT-class victories in beautiful High Definition, over and over and over, this would be a different story!
