Want an Authentic MazdaSpeed Kit?

Ok, so I was recently roaming around a few sites for authentic body kits. I came across one that I, along with others, know well, which is AndysAutoSport.

Anyways, check out this link:

http://www.andysautosport.com/mazda/...ts/mazdaspeed/

I called to confirm that this was in fact an authentic kit, and that it was in stock. They assured me that the kit was authentic, and that yes, they did have a few left in stock.

Now I can't be sure of anything - I know a few people in my area who have ordered kits from Andy's and have never had any problems with anything, so this could possibly be a source to obtaining a full kit. I just thought that I would post it up for anyone whose interested in possibly getting this kit (Which I know many are)

Off topic, I was also taking a look at the Buddyclub kit... I really like it for some odd reason

Just new to these forums and have been reading around about body kits ... a lot of differing opinions (obviously) but one thing I noticed was that lots of poeple sya good things about AndysAutoSport, and lots (and lots) of people say bad things about Extreme Dimensions body kits, yet AndysAutoSport has them as a "premium brand" ... how's that if they're so bad ?

Asking the question coz I like the look of one of the ED body kits, but am looking elsewhere since all the bad feedback on these forums ... but then saw that AndysAutoSport seems to rate them highly.

Any idea what the go is on that ?

I am assuming they have them listed as that either because ED is paying for it, or because their products are cheaply priced. Regardless, if you read reviews from any forum or site regarding ED kits, you will learn that, yes, they may be cheaper, but the build quality is cheap, the fitment is poor, and the overall quality and durability of the product is just not acceptable. I have read many horror stories (Not just this forum, either), by individuals who have bought a Duraflex kit and said that in the end, because of the price to get it properly fitted (Refibreglassing, molding, etc.), it cost them more than an authentic kit would have cost.

Authentic is the way to go. In the long run it is going to save you money and will be much more dependable. The fitment will be correct and the quality should be unsurpassed (For this particular kit at least).

Well I don't think any vendor should be saying that a premium brand is such because it's cheap ... usually the opposite ! So most likely they paid them off then, wow that's pretty hard out. Although shame on Andy's for selling out to the man then

My experience with Andy's is that it takes a long time for shipping. that's it. Buddy Club is a very nice kit that are not on many RX8's.
