smoothest flowing skirts

Hey all, i was wondering if all of you guys could chime in with your 2 cents (and TPC with his dollars worth ) on which sideskirts flow the best with the stock bodylines. My car is getting (by next week or so) the 99 front end, and i wanted my FD to have the most stock looking appearance. Of course, i would have the skirts shaved and molded to the mody for that completely factory look.

Please post pix if possible. Also, who makes these skirts? they look sooo ill

Hrrmmm. . . .does Feast have a site where i can order the sideskirts (bc i thought they were just a tuner, i didnt know they made aero parts)? Those look sooo close to stock, yet add the little extra drop, so the front end wont look soo. . . .exaggerated.

Although the MazdaSPeed II does look nice! Thanks for the help guys

I would also like to know who makes those first side skirts! They look nice and simple. I couldn't find anything on the Feast tuning car but currently I'm trying to look at sites according to the stickers on the the side of the car.

OEM (as shown above)

RE Amemiya (AD Step D-2):


Sorry, I'm at work so I can't find better pics, maybe TpCpLaYa can post some better ones. Those are the three that I like best because they retain the original lines of the car.

FAM Speed also makes some side skirts that look very similar to the Mazdaspeed Type II that are a bit cheaper. Also, I'm not sure if the Mazdaspeed is in production anymore.

I bet the OEMs would look cool in black with the 99 front on a light color car. It would match the 99 front lip. Alternately do them both out of carbon fiber.

what im saying is...what if the SS on the Feast car are actually ones we've been looking at the whole time but they just look different from the angle and lighting. they actually look like the mazdaspeed ones if u look closely

well the Mazdaspeeds dont show the vents/ducts, but the Feast one does. In a way, it seems like they shaved the most top part, but it does seem like they are very alike. I may have to try something in regards to that. . . .

I love the RE DII skirts ... drool ... but very $$. I kind of like the Apex skirts. I think the R-magic skirts with the vent look exceptionaly good with either a C-west front end or a '99 front lip.

Did anyone find out what side skirts are on the blue Feast FD? Or are they just Mazdaspeed Type II's?
