body kit
Anyone seen this body kit in person. I need to replace my front bumper cover and this piece is half the price of a new factory cover. Considering the whole kit since I am going to paint the whole car. And if I do, the pic looks great with the side moldings removed.

Too bad they don't have a piece to fat up the bottom of the door, too; it'd look more integrated.
I agree with Starfox; the bumper without the skirts would look mis-matched. I'm not much of a bodykit fan, but I've seen a lot worse.
For some reason, it makes me think of my old 91 Camaro RS, around the sides and back.

I've debated on getting that kit for my 85 once I get it back on the road, but I would have to change the rear bumper. Can't stand the squared look. I would go with the one I have on my 83, which has the curved under look in the back.

PM Hozzman, his FB is the one that was the test car for that bodykit. I've seen this in person at Sevenstock and here's a few things to consider about the kit:
1. The rear is horrible, I think 90% of everyone can agree on that.
2. The kit sits very low in the very, very low.
3. The kit's front air dam and sideskirts are designed to flow together, so if you wanted to just purchase the front only (like I wanted to) it wouldn't look right. The front sits about 1-2" below the stock side bottom line of the car, just doesn't look right.
All in all I think this is the best looking front air dam around, just wish they designed it so it wasn't so low and can look great without the sideskirts.

What size do you think those rims are in the first pic ? I like how they fill the wheel wells. And yes I just purchased this kit. And yes if you use the front bumper you should use the side skirts, it just won't look right without them.
I'm in the test fit faze, but so far everything is close with no headaches.
I also have all of the stock pieces, front and rear, color is mazda mettalic grey, great shape. PM me ?

Actually the GP1 front air dam is available, I just bought mine 2 weeks ago. Like I said I'm still in the first stage of mock up. Trying to figure out what route I want to go attaching the kit. If you really really need a pic to look at, I can post one?
But I would really like opinions on what size rims those are in the first pic of this thread. 1 last item, KEREBRUS when are you gonna order 1st gen short shifters, I'm in for the second batch, lol.

You should definitely post some pictures especially from the side when you get your front air dam installed.
