That looks pretty decent and clean. I don't know about durability though. It's made out of FRP, which is fine, but doesn't take impact very well from what I've heard. I've been looking to see how much one of the stock S4 kits would cost. I helped one of the rotary bros. a couple of weeks ago with his TPS, and he had a factory kit that was pretty sweet. I like how the rear bumper has the knock-outs for people that have gone to a single setup as well. 
It had a skirt that went over the front bumper, a lower rear bumper, side skirts, and had a spoiler that was really cool. It had the same line as the TII, but it was filled where the TII has spaces underneat, and had another skirt thing that went up along the hatch over the roof, and had little Mazda logos on it. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Ok, I've been digging aroudn a bit, and was checking the brochures on Aaron's site, and came across the kit I've always wanted. Does anyone know how much you can expect to pay for one of those aero kits used? I'd hate to spend a ton, but I really like the spoiler off that kit. I don't like the front as much, but it's just a piece of moulding that is screwed on over the stock bumper, so I could nix it. I wish I had gobs of cash for the FC.

It looks pretty nice. I'm not sure if a body-kit is my top priority, but... If someone's got money, buy it and tell us how it fits, lol.
Hey guys, scroll down to the 10th pic, the fully zoomed out side profile shot--does anyone else think the kit would look better without the back-ends lower side-skirtish peice? I know it follows the lines of the KIT, but I think it takes away (not much) from the lines of the car, by making the backend flatter, lower and not as aggressively angled upwards (from a profile). I think one of the higher styling points on the fc is that the lower line of the body (profile) is not just a straight-across horizontal line, but that there is some variance upwards in the rear... Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
