What do you think of this kit?

http://www.carid.com/2004-mazda-rx-8...lex-79370.html

Looking for a nice smooth kit that won't make me look all fast and furious. Just something different with some style.

Anyone have this kit on and want to share pictures?

That's a replica of a Mazdaspeed front bumper.

Replica's generally fit like ***.

Does the Mazdaspeed kit have a similar rear bumper? I just want something without big wings and stuff. I hate that rice burner look.

Again, a replica is a copy of a genuine product. The Mazdaspeed looks exactly like that. Last I read though people are saying Mazda no longer is selling them so you better look fast to dealers/vendors who are carrying it in stock.

Also, since it's the genuine Mazdaspeed, the front bumper will cost more than that replica body kit alone will, around $1,300-1,400.

Yeah I found a site selling the whole kit, prepainted to factory colors. But the front bumper was 1400, the rear was 1200 and I think the sides were 800ish.

Yup. You'll end up spending that much on a **** replica kit getting it to fit correctly anyway

I love how the exhaust is pressing against the shroud on the replica rear bumper.
