Again , this is only a test fit, have not drilled it on yet.
Here's the info for it....
Cost was $695 shipped. (lot cheaper on shipping if groupbuy is done.)
I was able to contact the ks-auto international sales rep. His name is Tak Matsunaga and email: takmail2@yahoo.co.jp Contact him for info/prices.

I'll take a few install pics. I have the Mazdaspeed sideskirts sitting in my livingroom. I'll install those soon.

The install was pretty easy. You DO NOT have to remove the front bumper to get it on. (I did take off my bumper anyways to install the Racing Beat oil coolers.)

1. Cut and place the rubber stip along the edges that will touch the front bumper.
2. Install the 2 brackets in the stock holes.
3. Do a test fit and make sure everything is lined up. Mark where the 4 holes on the sides are. Remove lip and drill the holes.
4. Put double sided tape on the inside of the middle part. Remove a small piece of the double sided tape and tape it to the front.
5. Place bumper back on. Install lower bracket screws. Install 4 side screws (2 on each side)
6. Remove backing to double sided tape and push down for it to stick.
Done.

New front clearance is 5 1/2" inches.
MS sides are next on the install list.

Step 3.
Make sure your marking into the front bumper and not the mudguard. This took some adjusting.

This is to be able to remove the backing after it's on.

Done
Notice the rubber strip is between the lip and bumper, so it doesn't scratch up the bumper if it moves alitte.

You can see here that it's about 1 inch lower than stock.

Yes, his english was good. I believe he speaks several languages since he's the international sales rep.

Nice job Adrian. That totally confirms the fact that carbon looks great on black. I'm sure it even looks better in person.

Adrian - You mentioned the RB springs but the car doesn't look any lower to me. You've installed them right? How much lower is the car now and how is the handling? Thanks in advance.

PS - Car looks fanastic !!!

I installed the Racing Beat oil cooler screens (protects them from rocks). Pictures in this thread.
Don't have any plans on lowering it. But the racing beat springs do look nice. Only a 1/2 inch drop with alittle stiffer spring rates.

Finished installing the sides today. It took me about 4 1/2 hours to do both sides by myself. It lines up almost perfectly with the front lip.

Here's a few pictures, I'll take some tomorrow during the day.
