P5Mazda

On the subject of P5 body kits (onderground-design.com)- I really like their new bumper, i think it looks awesome... the mesh grille in the middle curved in the middle looks sweet and all... I like the side skirts.... I like the rear bumper, but I think the mesh grills should be changed to the same kind of mesh grill used for the front bumper. I'm considering save my money to get their body kits. But I was wondering if any member on this forum has one and all painted and put on their car? I want some pictures and I want to see how it's looking... especially on a black P5.......

Don't know if you saw it, but they have several videos of a black P5 with the kits installed:

i ordered the onderground front bumper for my p5 and im getting the car back tomorrow, painted. just to let ppl on this forum know that this bumper does not fit well for the car. there is a inch and a half gap at the wheel well. it also does not fit at the fenders. the shop that did my fitting and painting said that the bumper is one of the worst. im really mad cuz i paid more for the fixing up than the bumper. so buyers beware. ill post pics as soon as i get i back.

Ya, I was gonna start bashing their products in htis post but kinda held off. But you guys should've seen pr5owners and Hong Kong Fever's grilles....they were very poorly made, and of poor quality. The workmanship is iffy at best. The cuts are uneven, there are gouges everywhere. Sorry, but I feel sorry for those who've purchased their products w/o knowing. Hey Foxxy, maybe you can get a refund.

yah foxxy you should try cuz its gonna cost you lots. im not too happy, but i already got it started and i can't do anything about it. if i get a chance i would return the bumper cuz it is a piece of ****.

the pictures of the black P5 on the site has the lip, not the new bumper... and the other pics of the red wild paint on the P5 doesn't make it looks original, so you know, I'm trying to get the idea of what it would looks like without the wild paint and stickers. I think it'll still looks awesome! it's a sweet deal for about $700 of the complete set.

chrono - it absouletly sucks that you have to pay more to get it adjust and all... i guess that's why they called it custom made body kits, but knowing the meaning of the "custom" never can be true fit... Mint Blue is just too expensive and I can't find any body kits that I like, and for a sweet deal.

<<They also make the kit as its ordered so its not like they are mass produced and put on a shelf. So they arent going to be the same everytime. >>

exactly, **** THAT! "buy this for $700 and we'll make this for you", who knows how long it will take... thanks guys for input, i've decided to not deal with the ondergrounddesign.com, and i'm hoping something will come along... lip is okay, not all that "WOW", but it would be so nice to have entire new bumper like that. no fog lights (pain in *** to change blubs) to deal with .
