alright, after MONTHS of wait....(drum roll)..i now i have my drift kit on.(after about 14 hours of installation) i do have to admit tho, there were some fitment issues. But, with a pull here and a screw there. it came out pretty nice. heres 3 pictures that i posted on my cardomain site.
i nearly jizzed my pants when me and my friend finised. :D

Just trying to save you from getting laughed at. I had an unpainted body kit on my car for a while, but the whole car, including the body kit, was primer gray. It sucked, I know how it is, but then again I didn't have "racing seat covers" or underbody neons. However, I did have nitrous oxide and a klze.

Sweet looking kit. I said last week during a conversation that I was kicking myself for buying my kit too soon. I love the look of the Drift kit! I hope taht you'll come up with some cash soon. There's a guy in town taht has a newer cavi. with a few bolt on's and a sweeeeeeeet Blitz kit. But it's not painted and kinda makes me cry everytime I see it :) Get some picks up of fitment asap ;)

ANd again...she looks good!

my teal mx will have the drift kit on hopefully by next week, and i want someone to laugh at me cause i have an unpainted car, if i look like a ricer they have to assume there inst anything under the hood. BUT I LOVE HOW IT LOOKS MAN GREAT JOB! 1 step at a time

haha na the only thing I won't get rid off is my Pak front..the rest of the kit is already molded so that makes it harder to change

i havent gotten not ONE bad comment on the car. no one has lauged at it. they have all been positive comments..blue and white goes together. if you see the cars around here that are primerd 50 million differnt shades of gray, mine would look good.(i own the ONLY Mx-3 in fayetteville, that i have seen, with a kit). the turnsignals are 95 Accord signals from APC. if the combat bumper has at least a 12inch hole in the front bumber yea. maybe. your gonna have to cut the bottom corner of your cars inside bumper so they can fit. i'm going to keep the blue and white theme with the outside, i'm in no rush to paint it.(after i get rims and MAYBe a hood. then i'll paint it). and yea...racin g seat covers haha

I'd paint it, otheriwise it looks to plastic. But, if you are still adding body parts I can see why you choose to wait. Car still looks good none the less.

Am I the only one who feels the the clear corners should stretch the entire length of the "vent" (for lack of a better word) to look right? That space just seems to throw it off in my mind for some reason. Still a good idea though. :)

i think they look right...hey, i can probably fit foglights there..small rectangle clear ones..then it would look full. just an idea.

By the looks of it, you also need to polish up those headlights and add aftermarket rims to your list of what to buy next.
