Everyone knows that the front vents are to extract heat from the engine compartment.
But the rears? (maybe farts)
I just like functional stuff.
I dunno, get rid of the single can and the wacky paint job and it looks pretty nice, smooth, not "tacked on".

The vents are supposed to be for the oil coolers.
I always thought Mugen was an exclusive Honda parts maker..... I don't see them crossing over to Mazda anytime soon, but who knows.
If there was such a kit, most of us wouldn't be able to afford it anyways

Well, the son of the founder of Honda (who formed Mugen), was arrested on suspicion of tax fraud.

That's a photoshop of a Mazda press photo. There is tons of evidence that it's photoshopped (no reflection or shadow of the middle strut on wing, hood visible through windshield red, not black like it should be, etc), and I have the original press photo at home on my computer, I'll post it later.

Sorry, I thought you were asking if it was photoshopped or not... just reread the original post. Der!
Opinion on the car: don't like the half door, or the half windows, or the vents behind the wheels. I like the FD underneath it all though

The vents on the fenders are for the brakes. The exact nomenclature is "ABS Brake Duct"
ALSO the kit is really nice, but it seem like it looses a lot of the FD original look.

I think it looks allright. But it's kinda bass-ackwards. The windshield wiper is on the wrong side, as if the pic was flipped, but then the muffler woulda been on the other side. The gas cap is also on the wrong side. And whats up with those windows? They have a corner cut out of them?
I'd like to see the rest, particularly the front, before I make a judgement.

Interesting. It actually looks pretty damn nice. Too bad the Tiburon ruined that wing for everybody else, though.....

I really like it alot. my only problems are that i think a different wing weould be alot nicer, the vents in the rear are really ugly, and the back bumper shouldnt extend so far to the ground. the stock bumper with a RE diffuser looks really nice by itself. O yeah and loose the paintjob

nice kit. some improve ments could be a hidden muffler (dump pipe behind the bumper) ,and not a biggie but it would look great with the badge and the key hole gone 4 that smooth look. get rid of the stickers (a bit ricey)I dunno about Mugen but if they would somehow change to make this i would almost like em.
sorry 4 soundin so negative, not my intention.
