Mazdaspeed Kit and Clear Corners

Alright, well, I am finally coming around to getting my 2nd mod for the 8 (Tinted windows for 1st mod) and I want to get some clear corners but I need to get some things cleared up.

On ebay and mazdaparts.com they have clear corners for $55 but they come with amber lights, and then mazdaparts.com has a option to have stealth bulbs, what are those and do I need these?

Second, I'm just doing research on body kits, and I was wondering why MS Style Urethane Bodykit is only around $1300 for the full kit. I know this is probably a replica, but is Urethane a good material? Like is that what the usual kits are made out of or what? Also, has anyone had experience with this kit/dealer? Thanks guys!

the real ms kit is more because it is real and comes painted

I have the poly fake kit and its good
the rear doesn't fit perfect but the front and sides do

the first question is up to you
do you want orange blinkers or stealth bulbs which you cant see intill they are turned on
no big deal

I'm just looking to picture MS side skirts anyways. So do you think it's worth it to buy the MS Style side skirts (around $350ish) for both and then get them painted to the OEM color (how do I go about doing this and how much will it cost? Will a Mazda dealer do this?) and then get them installed by a Mazda dealer (or can I go anywhere and around how much will this cost?)

Because in short, I want to get the front air dam, MS side skirts, and rear areo flares, so which way do you think would be the cheaper yet still good route?

Where did you get your polyurethane MS kit from? So the rear don't fit huh? How much the rear bumper is it off by?

I thought Mikeb got his kit for 1500 painted and installed.. it was a special deal for the early buyers for Aerowerks.
