Ok guys a RX is going to the shop!!!!

Iam excited, sort of. lol. My car got keyed on the left side and my right hand side got side sweped, while it was done gentely is still dented and scraped it up. Iam gona get all that fixed and i bought a MS front bumper. I need some side skirts, everything i see out there is $800+. And thats ok but i bought some 19's chrome for my car and that cost me a preety penny. Now i know alot of you will go idiot 19's and chrome this is a tunner. But you know what you'l see it looks HOT whit those rims and they are 2.5 pounds heavier with tires than stock. So the deal is i got about 500 bucks left iam willing to spend on my car what else could i get done, you guys think i need to do something to the suspension. I mean it came with 18's. The new wheels are 19x8.5F and 19x9.5R. I think i should be fine it will fill the gap up nice. May be later after the kit is complete i get it stiffen up cuz i dont want nothing to rub againts each other. Its going in a few days i'a, sort of nervos i only got 7k on the odo. Its my first car i ever tunned cosmeticly, i had a 02 M3 and i went to AA and they did my motor for me and i didnt care to much, but this baby got a ton of stuff you can do to it. And it a year or two we should see some performance mods too. So anyways if you guys know where i could get some nice side skirts for this car, for about 500 that be great. I really like the one's from MS but again its like 900 for them. Again thanks alot and thanks for reading throgh my ramble here.

Import Trenz has the Mazdaspeed replicas. I may end up getting these just to try them. I can get them cheap enough with my discount there that if they arent worth a damn i can order the real things and not be out that much.
Has anyone esle tried these?

I've heard of streetconcept because they were doing some fabrication work on one of the guys on the 6 forums. The kit turned out alright.... no rave reviews but no real negatives.

As always, the world of bodykits is like a box of chocolates.

Just orderd sum JDM clear side marks. And the car is delayed a week for going to the shop, due to the shop, because the are packed. So il waite a extra week or so. March 14 the wheels come in, i took 18's over 19's due to lowering the car i thought maybe it wont fit.
