Question for Mazdaspeed kit owners

Hey guys, I need to ask a favor of you. I am currently in development on a new body kit with a manufacturer here in California that makes urethane body kits and We are currently working on the sideskirts but since the rear isn't going to be finished by SEMA we need to match up the size of the sideskirts with the mazdaspeed rear valence.
My question for the owners of the kit would be, Can you get me measurements on the front , middle, and rear of the mazdaspeed sideskirts from the top to the bottom (vertical length) and post it up here. We are trying to get the kit finished up this week to proceed to the next steps of the buildup. I can promise you that this kit will be awesome. I will update with photos and more info on Nov 1st.

Your help is much appreciated.

are you going to have a rear bumper replacement or another "cut up your oem bumper"?

there are a lot of us who have had damage to the rear bumper, and right now there aren't a lot of aftermarket choices because they're all copying the mazdaspeed rear.

We will look into it since you brought that issue up. We need to get the measurements on the sideskirts first and then work our way to the rear of the vehicle. We haven't started on the rear yet, but will take your information in consideration.

Devious, Thanks so much for your detailed drawings and measurements. I will get this to the company so they can finish the sideskirts and the sooner we finish the faster I can get photos of the kit up. Thanks again for your help.

ShowAndDrift, I'd second the comments from Jason. To date, nobody has done anything special for the rear of the car, all similar to the MS one. The first people to do a good and different complete replacement bumper will be likely to get lots of people interested. So far the rear is the only section I haven't kitted, other than the stock Mazda spats, purely because I haven't found anything I like.

Both of those above are pretty much stock with some minor tweaking / curving in places - or in the case of veilside - ott stretching!
