First, no companies make very interesting "ricey" body kits for the fc or fb. Thats and fd thing.
Lower the car, put some nice 17" wheels on it (larger in the back, gives it such a lovely stance
) and there you have it, a beautiful 90 fc.
Now its all about making it able to walk the walk....

This is. They also make an addition for the stock rear wing.
personally i would go with the rotary extreme gtc front bumper, http://www.rotaryextreme.com/2ndgengb.html, cf hood cf sideskirts from speed machine http://www.speedmachineperformance.c...ber_parts?b=1, cf mirrors from GTP http://www.importfan.com/index.asp?P...D&ProdID=6634, and a rear cf difuser (kevlar if i could get the money for it but thats even more expensive then cf but it wouuld stand up too alot more abuse) i know ive seen them for the fc but not sure where. but im now thinkin no body kit for now and jus remove the trim on mine because i want too take drifting fairly seriously so i need the money in the suspension first then the engine then the body and plus i will probaly tap a few things so i dont want some expensive body kit on there yet

2. the only link that worked was the middle one
Those pictures (the white TII) are of the Wings West aero kit, assuming you want it you CAN still get it from mazdatrix (http://www.mazdatrix.com). It looks pretty good in real life and stays with the body lines of the car.
Personally I prefer the stock body of the car (perfection is...S5 front fascia w/lip, S5 Side steps, and the '86 Aero wing from the sport package). Also if it matters...at Rotorfest 04 there were only 3 kitted cars at the show (FC's of course)...i'm sure that's not because there is a shortage of good stuff out there (FC2000, To Bounds, RUN Racing) it's just that the stock body is so perfect...

Bomez makes a nice fairly "plain" kit. But I like simple lines...nothing bulky for me. http://www.wholehyper.com/kits1-main.html
Its Bomex, and its probably one of the most extreme kits out there...definatly not plain. I think its ugly as hell though. The best kit IMHO is the CorkSport Type II. It keeps fairly stock lines, but adds major aggressiveness as well.
