Default Body Kit

Looking for a body kit for my hatch Mazda 3. Some problems I have are
1) I live in Massachusetts and already have an inch and half drop on the car. So I need something that will clear massive frost heaves...not looking to sit on the ground totally
2) something that doesn't involve removing the bumper support beams. I've already been there done that with a bodykit for my 2004 scion xb. No garage in my area would touch it because they said removing those beams made it a liability for them. I also have 3 kids so I wanna be safe.

I found a kit I like...but I can't seem to find it anywhere but on bodykits.com and for some reason I'm getting no response back from them with a price quote. It's the MAZDA 3 SPORT RS Body Kit.

anyone got any feedback? Thanks

the link you provided is the wrong one even though it led to a pretty a interesting site, anyway, that kit goes by many different names but apparantly its made by extreme dimensions and goes for about $600, tbh i have no idea if your gonna be able to clear the snow that your worried about, and no you dont remove the bumper support beam.

yeah i found that thread very helpful but problem is kits don't say "warning you will need to totally sacrifice the safety of your vehicle (removing bumper bars) in order to install this kit" thought the purpose of a forum was to seek advice from other people with experience and talk about your car. if i wanted a parts list i would of typed mazda parts sites into google.
Was lookin for some help.

i dont understand, the fact that you stated that you need to remove the bumper supports to install and bodykit is unheard of, the kits are not going to say that unless its some sh itty or prototype version because your not supposed to have to remove the bars to put another one on, as a matter of fact my friend with his xb has a full body kit and he didnt have to remove the bars or cut the kit to fit, and the thing is to do research first which it seems you just based your question off of a previous exp and not actually look for anyone who has a kit on
