hey goodyrx8,
Please tell me about that lower lip on the MS skirts.
The MS skirts look very functional, but not particulary stylish - IMO. As my 8's going to be spending most of it's time at sub warp speeds, I'm temped to hunt down something else or wait a little.
If it's at all possible, can you give us a rear quarter shot?
Kev.

Could you got out and buy an MS front grill and put it on that car now please ? ... heh ... I've been wanting to see a MS kit with the stock wing swapped in for the MS wing. Your oh so close .... I mean, its all about my needs on this forum, right
BTW, I like the MS sideskirts much better than the mazda package ones. We should call the mazda ones "short-skirts" or something since they aren't really complete.

mini-skirts.... thats the word for them. I can't believe I didn't think of that word when I posted earlier. Oh well, I nominate that word from now on.
I'd like to see a closeup of the MS skirts if you get the chance. Especially the lower ridge if possible. Oh, and thanks for the pics you've taken.

Mismatch
I love the MS front bumber so would probably save up and shell out to get it. However, i wonder if i can buy the sideskirt from another kit and use it instead of spending 1k+ for the ms side skirt. Any suggestion would be appreciated.:D

I think what's worry me most is that if the sideskirt and bumber from different body kits will have difference ground clearance. Thus they would really look mismatch when put on together

get the "MS STYLE" kits from Rotary extreeme. I am not sure what you call them, I dont want to say "knockoffs" to degrade them any, but they are cheaper than the ones from MS, and look pretty much the same.

If you have purchased one and based on your experience, it does not fit the same, then I repect that. If you haven't, please don't say it may not fit the same. This is quite misleading. Please don't compare my work with those cheap made in China Honda bodykits that you can purchase for $450 a set. There are many rx7's in the magazines with our company's bodykits and quite often it's mistaken as original due to the superior fitment.

so is your kit half price compaired to ms because it is fiberglass instead of plastic.
I guess it might fit the same or close to the same as the ms kit but surely you won't agrue it is built stronger

Mazdaspeed's bumper is urethane and it IS stronger than fiberglass. But from what i know, Rotary Extreme is also offer Urethane front bumper too. At a very good price, imo is well worth it.
The money you spend on Mazdaspeed is probabaly mostly cause they are made in Japan, shipped over, oversea tax and their brand. I'm not sure if Mazdaspeed bodykits come already painted though.
Can someone that have bought MS kit tell us, if the MS kit come painted ?

Has anyone here bought the rotaryextreme MS style bodykit and can comment on it.
Or... rotaryextreme can you post more pictures of it on your website. You only have a picture of the front bumper on the car, nothing with the side skirts or rear.
Was this kit created to exactly replicate the look and fittment of the mazdaspeed? Do you believe you acheived this?
I would be very happy to get the $3500 mazdaspeed kit for $1750.
