The only down side is that while they ship for free any order over $150, this excludes Mazdaspeed parts. I'm not sure what their shipping rates are, but hopefully this still provided everyone who's thinking of getting an OEM MS Kit some good alternatives to retail cost.

BMP.com
Front Bumper: $1290
Rear Underspoiler: $732
Side Skirts: $720
Rear Wing/Spoiler: $876
TOTAL: $3618

Mazda Retail
Front Bumper: $1530
Rear Underspoiler: $875
Side Skirts: $875
Rear Wing/Spoiler: $1040
TOTAL: $4320

DIFFERENCE: $702
The killer is shipping. Some websites charge $300+ just for shipping.

Try www.mazda-parts.com/speed

I got the sideskirts and rear bumber for $700 each plus $65 shipping. $1465 total
I think there front bumper and spoiler prices are better too.

If anyone is looking for a clear bra, I am working on getting a pre-cut 3m clear bra GB togeather. As of right now, no one has a pre-cut clear bra for the MS front bumper and a custom one cost about $400+ install. There is a thread for it, please post if you are interested. Its a great investment for your new MS front bumper.

I am getting a replica kit but I like the wide black plastic strip on the top of the radiator intake on the genuine Mazda MS kit. Does anyone know where I could find a replica of that?

Yeah, I just double checked the prices, it's a little cheaper for everything. Thanks for pointing me in that direction. And your right, shipping can be pretty bad......sounds like that might be the best place to buy.

Edit: Crap, just double checked, I own a Titanium Grey and they don't have the side skirts.........how regularly do they update and replenish their stock?

Mine is in the process of being put on....but my question is how low will the kit leave me? I'm lowered with racing beat springs.

The front bumper and side skirts lower it about a 1-1.25", I think. My 1.2" drop left my front bumper 4.5" off the ground. I raised it up so I am at 5" all the way around.

Measure the distance from the ground to the top of the fender well above the tire. I am at 26 5/8" in the front and 26 1/8" in the rear and I dont have any problems. Any higher or lower will give you a good ide how low it will be.

I would be supprised if they stock any of the mazdaspeed pieces. Usually they get them out of a mazda warehouse. Call and ask them, they probably just need to add it, unless mazda USA is all out and they removed it on purpose. You have to go to the main website (www.mazda-parts.com) for contact info, here is the phone number to save you the trouble 1-800-357-1892

I have the MS side skirts and the appearance pkg front air dam, I got them both from Trussville Mazda. Prices were about on par with any of the other places out there excluding dealerships, but shipping costs seem to be lower than some of the other places I've seen. Good service too, nice guys over there. Most of the time they have things that aren't listed on the site, all you need to do is ask. I had my painted side skirts in less than a week from ordering.

Edit: Sorry, didn't realize someone already mentioned them. Oh well, I agree, anyway!

Just wondering am I the only one who didn't get the long plastic part on the front bumper where the plate number would normaly go?
