Ew, ew, and ew. There are many gross kits for the 8. And just being different doesn't mean you r car will look better. there is a reason the Mazdaspeed kit is popular. It is actually functional. To me most bodykits for the 8 are gross and the D1 Veilside is one of the worst IMO. We all have our own taste (just look at Zumn's car)

every body kit is functional... especially at high speeds where the changes in aerodynamics is dramatically magnified. But anyways ive decided that the front bumper is gonna happen as far as everything else, its still up in the air.

Ill be updating yall as i go...

the wider oil cooler ducts kept my oil tempsroughly 10-15 degrees cooler on average along with my water temps from the center opening.....it may not have been the prettiest kit w/o a proper paint job but if you look at the aerodynamic curves it scooped the air directly in....along with less turbulence under the car from the skirts and rear it kept the car more stable at higher speeds and may have even helped with mileage...the extra weight of the kit might have also been negligent because removal of the oem kit and no big stereo saved some weight hence the function....to say that these kits are non functional is just incorrect.......why do you think most of the cars in japan are sporting kits?.....veilside also happens to be one of the more popular kits in Japan...if your looking for a legit Abflug there is some one in the NE selling his kit and he is one of the few in the states that has one
