I don't like how the front lip has a "double-bubble" when the rest of the kit is so angular....

Those bumper light covers cost $475 from JT-imports....
$475!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE this kit, BUT it's the $ that makes me not like it, lol. I recently asked JT Imports on the price of the Rspec hood, and he replied about $3400 shipped to the US. Damn Mazdaspeed Prices!!!

How do they expect to get a presence in the racing scene if everything requires limb donations !?

A picture never does justice. I own the Ings body, the whole schibang save for the wing. The body flows nicely with the stock lines of the car. The Ings body pieces are rounded just like the car is rounded.
The skirts are much nicer than this MS one, and so are the bumpers. Not too mention the tough material. Now if we were talking about the MS JGTC body I would be singing a different tune.

Nothing beats the simple clean look, IMO

I've ordered these sideskirts (Apexi) and the 99 Spec no plate Polyurethane bumper for my car.

I think the 99 spec looks better with the plate holder.
Original=sexy.
Replica without plate holders=weird looking

BTW, my favorite thing about this car is that it doesn't have a clear title. It was found at a junkyard. Thats pretty cool in my opinion.

If you don't mind me asking, how much were the skirts and bumper? and where from.

I'm looking for the 99+ style and clean look too

lol elegantly put!

Tis very tempting for that sort of cash, and tbh I'd probably go down the ghetto route with the rear lights so even cheaper

I also love the R-spec kit, Except the rear bumper, I would rather have the RE-A rear diffuser with the stock rear bumper. It's a damn good looking front end, probably one of the best (anyone see the similiarities with the JGTC Denso-Sard Supra front end?) But I would just get the front end and side skirts, go with a MS replica hood, and RE-A rear diffuser, that's the kit I would sport. And let's not forget it's wind tunnel tested.
