i love both kits, except i dont like how the bomex kit doesnt have the molding on the front end and the rear end. thats a hard decision to make, the bomex is going to cost alot more than the corksport, so which ever one you decide on good luck.

i just got the corksport ones today and they seem to be almost perfect fit with little to no mod/ sanding to go on....all you have to do to make them look really trick is just mold em to the body and for 290 compared to 4 something i think for bomex........the c.s.'s are a steal......just wish they made a full back bumper

the RE kit is definately nice... if you have two plus grand to waste on a body kit... make your own kit like I did... alls you need is a hacksaw and some white paint or primer. First, cut up your front grill. This will allow more air in. Cut some smaller holes in strategic places, make sure it looks decent. We want a functional nose, right? Next paint or sand and primer everthing from your trim down... this will make it look like you have a proffesional body kit installed. And it's relatively simple and really cheap. You get all the looks going down the street, it's really awesome.

Trust me.....

It was a joke... I was trying to point out the cool people with the unpainted body kits; however, I did cut out the 'grille' of the nose. It was cracked up and a piece was sticking out, wasn't very attractive... However according to FC3S.org, they did the same thing using a dremel. I had a hacksaw and a file. I sawed one part a little too far...

It's okay though... this is gonna turn into my project FC so I don't really care about the body as of now. Hopefully soon I'll have an FD. When that's paid off I might go ahead and put the Replica GTC front end on with the 99spec 'FTPs'... those are nice. I think it looks better on the 2nd gen than the 3rd.

Bomex sucks ***, as does the CS. Stock w/ either FEED or Mazdaspeed (if you can find one) front under lip.

I love the Bomex sides and rear, but getting the GP front end is turning into a long waiting game!







Once it's done though.....PAINT JOB TIME! (well, after the N/A to T2 swap I am attempting soon)

The wing is a Wings West brand that I purchased from Mazdatrix and is called an 86-92 Large Wing. Here is a direct link to the wings page there, it's all the way at the bottom. My Bomex sides and rear I picked up for around $600 for the kit from a performance shop in Glendale, Ca. (I think it was called Showstoppers......ask for Rocky (I think)). Anyhow, happy hunting! I am still waiting on my GP Sports front end, damnit!
