And guys anything that is molded into the body will look like crap in a short while. Anyone heard the term body flex? LOL Bet it looks REALLY nice now

It's funny how when I first saw that picture a few years ago, I really liked it. Now, it doesn't do very much for me at all. In fact, I think I now like stock FBs better than that.

I really do like the way our cars look with stock bodies. All it takes is a slight lowering and different wheels/tires to really set them off. They are so clean... something which can't be said of most bodykits. I do understand an airdam is beneficial for aerodynamics, but as for the rest of it, I'll decline thank you very much.

I use to think that that car was pretty cool and now I realize that its not that great. Like silver said, All you need is some wheels pretty much and the stock car looks great. I was goping to get a body kit when I got my car painted, but know I am glad I didnt. Be-sides I havnt really seen and good looking body kits for the first gens.

Along the lines of 82mazdarx7's comment, once I threw Enkeis on my GSL-SE I had men and women both gazing with lust upon the ReX.

Yes, indeed. I think the only outside mods would be that frikkin airdam from mazdatrix and some wheel arches. After that some anthracite O-Z-ish multiple spoke rally-lookin' rims to fill those arches right to the brim and a violent drop in ride hight.

Common, you have got to like that design. Yes, we can badmouth it for how it is going to "bend" due to body flex, but it is so unordanary. Give it some credit.
