I have a dilema. I'm trying to decide which bodykit to get. Ive always planned on getting the Mazdaspeed GTC bumper and sideskirts with a '99 spec rear spoiler, when I got my fd, I saw one in a mag and fell in love with the kit. Lately though, I've been starting to like the '99 spec bumper and Feed sideskirts with '99 spec rear bumper. I guess I'm just wondering what other people think of each of these setups. Oh, my car will be CYM.

I would have to agree with the 99 kit with the feed skirts. Thats basically all I want do to with mine, plus probably the RE Amemiya diffuser that DUB has. Any kits that take away from the original lines too much (Cwest) I don't particularly like.

Side skirts are gay. The mazdaspeed nose is nice though. I don't care for wings either. Ulimately it's obviously a personal preference.

I've heard that you can't jack the car up from the side with the Feed sideskirts, does anone know if this is true with the Mazdaspeed ones too?

i'm not a big fan of sideskirts either.



I like the GT-C nose alot, which is why i kept it after the mishap. I don't like wings either (ironic huh?) Are you going for a clean, subtle look or a really aggressive look?



I don't like the 99 wing myself, looks too much like it came from auto-zone. I guess i've seen too many cheap copies on ricer cars around where i lived. The 96 wing is very subtle and nice looking IMO.



It all boils down to what *YOU* want however.

Agreed the 96-98 whale tail spoiler is pretty cool. Its a subtle improvement over the R1 wing IMO.

I like the 99 spec look as well. I will eventually get the front bumper but right now I just have the 99 spec lip on the 93-95 bumper, FEED CF sideskirts (one of the only good looking sideskirts), and a RB Type II wing (looks like 99 spec wing).
