Carbon Fiber!

My new Mazdaspeed lip and Feed sideskirt. Before ya'll say it, I know. Needs to be lowered.

Where did you get the Mazdaspeed parts? Are they replicas?

I usually hate body kits, but I actually like those skirts!

That looks really nice, I'd love to see some closer shots of the CF lip! I've been wondering if that same setup would look good, looks like it does! Now all you need is the Mazdaspeed CF 99 spec rear wing and a CF rear diffuser

In terms of carbon fiber, I think I'm done. I think the Feed spoiler and the RE-Amemiya diffuser are cool, but too much is over kill. I think this is just about perfect. Just a 99 bumper and I should be finished with the aesthetics. But who knows, maybe I'll change my mind.

I like those Volks The CF is a nice techie touch to the FD. I like CF as a concept, but it tends to be overused as a bling bling accessory with the Honduh boys (CF gas filler lid?! Talk about mega weight savings )

Your application does look very tasteful though, FDeez, and I gotta applaud you for that. How are they attached? Given that they're CF, I hope for your sake that they're on there with some security Torx bolts or something un-stealable (or more difficult that a hex/allen/phillips bolt).
