Appreciate all the comments, both good and bad. Never going to make everyone happy with any bodykit decision, but I like it personally. I can certainly see the logic in some of the negative posts however, particularly in regards to the Rear.

Corecct me if I'm worng but were you not just trying to sell this car?
I was. Decided a little while back to keep it. Buying a house now, and the established loan and positive equity on the note looks better on the credit than a new car loan does.
Current plan is to keep the 6, and when it gets closer to a payoff, pick up a project car of some sort (perhaps even a kit car like the Factory Five GTM *drool*) and use the 6 as a daily driver.

well IMO the fogs look ricey cause they are blue
I needed fogs and that's all I could find. I'll probably change them soon.

the rear bumper seems to stick out a little too much making it seem longer then it is.
The bumper itself is stock; the apron just hangs on the lower end. You can blame the long bumper on US crash regulations, the Mazda6 outside of the US isn't nearly as bulbuous as ours in the States is.

I'll be the first to say that I love the whole kit, even the rear (although it looks better in profile than head-on). Some CF would look good, but I like it in all white... kinda classy-tuner-ish, like a kitted TL or TSX.
Thanks. And good eye. Kenstyle (the maker of this kit) traditionally does high-end cars, particularly Acuras, Infinitis, and Lexus'. They're actually offered as OEM options in Japan.

On the rear, is it a complete bumper or does it have ground effects attached to it?
The rear of the kit is an apron. It just attaches to the bumper.

I like it. I was thinking it would look better with bigger wheels but if you're already running 18's I guess it wouldn't make that much difference. The kit has a way of making the wheels/tires look smaller than they are I guess.

Whole-Heartedly agree. And the 19s would give me some much-needed height off the ground as well. But seeing that I've already got 2 sets of 18s, I'm not about to go buy a set of 19s as well.

I like the car but like the rest I don't care for the rear...it definitely could do without the black piece and those reflectors...or whatever it is trying to accomplish.
Well, the reflectors are on the stock bumper and are technically required to pass inspection (but then, so are the sidemarkers that this kit removes in the front). The apron just has holes in it to continue to expose them.
The black area in the rear was white at first just so I could see what it looked like, but made the "Big Ass" syndrome even worse. The black thins it out a bit, and that black line is also the reason I put the black taillights in as well.

Looks really good - but it needs bigger wheels now. (and an exhaust kit wouldn't hurt either - looks stock to me).
It's got Magnaflows on it. It doesn't look like it with that kit on there, but those are 4" tips.

Theose SSBC brakes are MAD expensive - crazy stuff!
And I got a MAD deal on them too. Half cost. The reason they're not on (and wy I got a good deal) is that they don't fit 2003 Mazda6s because of a minor bracket change. I need to do a test-fit, see what I need to do, and get some new brackets made.
