Been thinking about getting a kit for my 8 since I got it in the spring. Couldn't make up my mind. Well I finally did and just in time for winter <lol>. And the winner is...

Mazdaspeed kit!!! Getting front and sides, not the rear or spoiler. I am looking seriously at getting the Racing Beat wing to finish it off.

Thanks for hooking me up Al!

Now... what wheels and tires to get

 

Noooooooooooooooooo Scott! It was nice that at the last meet I had the only MS front bumper. I guess it won't be so in the spring. T_T

And here I thought you meant turbo. T_T

 

Sorry about that Yeah, not installing until spring. Going to wax the hell out of it in the meantime -- maybe i can convince Footman to come over and give me some pointers -- when my daughters aren't home

Hard to argue with MS quality and in the end, it does have a great look.

At least our spoilers and wheels will be different... not to mention color.

 

Wow, its gonna get crowded soon. Autobahn, hmm...

 

Go for it Jay, with the Advans!

 

So what's the best way to secure the f**king plate to MS front? Standard brackets or more clever approach?

 

Make sure that Kafka doesn't show up either. I think he's the bigger worry. :P
You're right though, I absolutely love the MS look, and you don't have to worry about fitment or any other issues. I look forward to seeing it in the spring

 

I chopped off the bottom of the plate and used zip ties cuz I didn't want to drill holes :D

 

RX8thunder,

Congrats... Tein S-tech + MS front bumper = becareful!!!!

 

nice. MS front and side skirts look great. wish i had the money. oh, and the racing beat spoiler is badass too. Im hoping to get one after the winter. as for the plate, just throw it on your dash. its too bad we need front plates here. i just put mine on my dash today, car looks so much cleaner that way. heres hoping i wont get haslted by the po-lice. what colours your car? and did you have the appearance package on before, cause i might be interested if you are parting that out.

greg

 

Dont worry rx8thunder...I am a good guy...hehehehe...

Congrats on the Mazdaspeed front...I want to do autobahn since 2003 but its way too aggressive...and I don't know if those can take the winter storm in canada...

If I got a 2nd car tho, I will probably go for it...

 

Greg, color is WB. No appearance package other that spoiler -- which I will sell if when I get the RB wing

 

Get the MAZDASPEED WING man...complete the package

 

^ Like the MS spoiler but want to create a slightly different look

 

I love the Mazdaspeed wing too however I can understand you wanting to create a different look. Its also really heavy.

 

Yeah, be careful how far you lift up your trunk when you have the MS wing. And how you close it.

 

authentic Mazdaspeed bumper gives you mounting holes on the black piece...

 

Rx8thunder always has money.
I was wondering how long it'll be before you got the MS bodykit.
I wish I had that type of cash lying around.

 

Greg, I'll be parting out my Appearance package soon, rear flares, side flares, side splash guards, front and back crests, and the front lip. It's silver.

Anyone interested PM me.

 

so there's gonna be a yellow, winning blue, and few red mszdsspped 8s zipping around. Guess the silvers, blacks greys gotta get moving.

 

You guys should do a Mazdaspeed 8 shoot. Looks like Thumper won't be the first winning blue to go Mspeed.

 

I have the bracket, but you still have to drill. I don't like that. I think it spoils the look.

 

^ How did you put it on? Looks like you have it hooked up below the black piece.

 

As I recall a certain someone just bought a brand new MX5... no sympathy buddy

 

Bottom inch or two is chopped off. Top is zip tied to the mesh grille :D
