I think MazdaManiac has a great plan when it comes to mind. when you purchase a ride.. know exactly what you want to do with it and do not curve outside that train of thought. As far as knowing where to buy it from, no idea.. found a few places on google that have it for a grand. A body kit wont really make a difference in how the car drives for you, so dont have that be the make/break decision on getting a kit. Its a basic look factor when it comes to kit, as minor changes in aerodynamics are the slightest of change. I myself will be investing in under-the-hood mods before a body kit.

Looks like you decided to buy the car.

I like the kit. Some people like a stock 8, but I believe it needs a body kit or the aero kit in order to look good. If this is your plan, then I would go for it.

There's one thing I don't like about body kits and that is the fact that its hard to fit on and you have to do some custom work to make it fit. Do you know if this one is a perfect fit...actually a guaranteed fit? i'm just wondering cuz i don't want to go through what my friends had to go through. Thanks Caveney for the info.

Those are some nice kits. Kits are not rice. How lame of a statement. That's like saying keeping it stock makes you a cracker. Just lame

Get the Veilside kit from the manufacturer or you will regret it.

That one is very appealing to most people. However I'm not too sure if I like it all that much.

+1

I got mine from veilside.com even its from manufacturer... Bodyshop had to do some work do it. I can't imagine with replica veilside. Chrism will tell you the same thing.

I wouldn't mind having Razz1's RE Amemyna Front
