looks like they just modded the upper bumper skin from the 2nd gen kit - which, on a 2nd gen, looks okay.

The rear bumper looks like the Mustang GT bumper Jimmy54 did... ... ... ya

If I can find a good erebuni rear I would get those skirts and front bumper... if I were to do ground effects.

It looks good... but I'd have to see it in person or in a not so advertisement'esq picture.

Anyone read mazda sport? They have an SE project going, and in the first page of the first article thay say "Cars of this caliber are rare and it would be a mistake to spoil the stock appearance" Couldnt have said it better myself... although that is one of the nicest front air dams i've seen for the 1st gen.

its been out... raceonusa has them. the front looks super good... the sides are ok and the rear looks like ****... The down side to the whole thing is that the reinforcement needs to be taken off.. which means that you hit anything and you will be eating your engine...

About the stock apperance.. well they are correct but look at what they are doing and what everybody here does... most of them have changed the stock look or have done some kind of modification to the car...

i have an 85 SE.. currently 100% stock with only 83k.. im puting the other raceonusa body kit and also the whale spoiler...

Looking at the body lines, the front bumper, side skirts, and rear bumber all have different heights on the side. It would have been nice if they all followed the factory side molding height.

Front bumper is sweet but the rest can go quickly in a dumpster.

Can they try and get some better pics or angles up of the kit because from those pictures I cant really get a good look at it. I like the front but the side skirts are okay and the rear is

. I like the effort they put in it just needs more tweaking.
