Vertex Rear+MS sides+front ???

Well like the title says I got everything but the front. The front is kinda bugging me since it sits higher than the sides, as of right now I have the front OEM debadged w/ lip. Im leaning towards getting the R-Magic front lip, but I thought I would make a poll here and try to get some ideas from you guys.

Heres some pics...

I say R Magic also. I think its a little cleaner, smooth flowing than the Veilside. You can also get it prepainted from Mazdaparts.com

Love the MS, not so fond of the R-Magic front lip kit....just looks too bulky, not sporty, IMO.

MS front (though becoming TOO poplular) would probably look the best.

MS is nice, but way too played out, you'd be just another one of those...

it was interesting to see all the 8s at SS9...lots of MS and Veilside...not too many of the others. Snowfl8k had the only Tsunami I saw...there was one Pettite front, and of course FE3P has one no one else has....not too much originality out there. Didn't see any FEED, R-Magic or others.

So, your choice is between trying to be original, or trying to find something you like regardless of what others have.

FE3P was sporting the Vertex Lang as usual (minus the rear of course) Put the Autobahn front end and be different. (not too many have that one)

Thats why I'm kinda leaning away from the MS front since so many people have it. I like to be original and it felt nice to know that I was the only one at sevenstock 9 rocking a Vertex rear. I think the Rmagic Lip would look good with the Rmagic eyebrows I have. I've also been thinking about the autobahn and Ings front as well, but the price off both just scares me away. Hmm Decisions-Decisions.

I never got to see you car in all it's glory Ngo...anxious to see it when it gets back into shape. To be honest, I was a little disapointed not to be able to see the kenstyle rear, but I understand what you were saying about wanting it to look complete.

^^^ I argued with him all week to leave the kit on there but I couldn't talk him into it. If we would have known how the parking was going to be, he could have pulled in 'head in' and shown off that Kenstyle perfectly!

yea, sorry kwescott. i was looking forward to taking it to show everyone, but i couldn't stand looking at it so unproportional. the autobahn front sits much lower than most other fronts, so it stuck out like a sore thumb. when it's all back together, maybe i'll head down to one of the san bernandino runs and you can check it out.

maybe i should stuck my rear and sides on jorge's car for sevenstock.

anyway, back on topic:
Fabro, i say go r-magic lip, but one thing you gotta look at is that your sideskirts have the gray lip at the bottom, which doesn't carry over to ur vertex rear and wouldn't carry over to any of the lips and fronts except mazdaspeed. if ya don't mind that, then go whatever you want

Yea Im thinking that if I get the Rmagic lip I could paint the bottom part gunmetal to match the wheels and sides. I really don't mind the back part that much.
