Pakfeifer Body Kit

Simple question: Will the Pakfeifer Body kit fit the P5? I know the front nose clip wont, as the headlights are the '98 style, but the rear bumper and side skirts should still work shouldn't they?

Any help is appreciated.

from what i understand, the kit fits, but the wacky shipping and customs costs are not worth it. check out some older threads.

The side skirts from the pakfeifer 323bj kit are the only thing which will fit your P5.

The rear skirt from the kit will not fit your car because your rear bumper is already molded stock in a body-kit way (the mazda 323 wagon in the pakfeifer picture had a sedan styled bumper originally, its just more "trim") and the lower part of your stock rear on the p5 cannot be removed.. so therefore it cant be done without major surgery (and fiberglass sucks so why deal with it?)

also, shipping is EXTREMELY expensive..

when I ordered side skirts from pakfeifer (I'm about 60 miles from New York City), the cost was $254 for the skirts, $80 for shipping, about $180 in customs + brokerage fees, $50 security bond for the U.S. government, and $40 for one day of airport storage.

It's not worth it.

Plus, you risk getting shipped the wrong stuff. I received side skirts for a 2nd gen (BH) when I ordered side skirts for a 99+ (BJ).. oh well.

Good luck!

Thanks for the advice guys. I wasn't really serious about getting them, but I just wanted to see if they were a possibility. Sounds like it's not. Thanks for the advice!
