blue streak

I would really like to see a picture of an 8 with rear aero flares, front air dam, and the MS side skirts. Does anyone have a pic/photochop?

Thanks alot guys! Those look really awesome! From the pictures, it looks llike the lower level of the MS skirt matches the level of the air dam and the rear flares perfectly. Am I seeing that correctly?

yea...it's pretty damn close to being lined up perfectly. the only difference is this 3/4 inch thick gray area along the bottom of the sideskirts. but it's no biggie.

yea, the grey part of the sideskirts is just a bit lower - but in person most people think the grey part is a nice accent and doesn't look out of place

both your cars look very clean

Hey Dano, I read in another link that you have been adding these parts on one by one since you got the car. Have you had any issues with the paint not matching because of fading?

I had this combination for a several months. The paint should have no problem matching as they are both made out the same type of material, and are coming direct from mazda. You really can't notice the difference in height from the front air dam to the ms side skirts. Its a really nice looking combination in my opinion.

flyboyindy had this setup on his VR and we did not like it. It does not look right with the side skirts being lower, just MHO, he felt strongly enough about it that he ordered the MS front.

I don't think you quite understood my question moostafa. What I meant was, since he had his car for a while before getting the other parts, I was wondering if he saw a difference in the color of the new parts v.s. the older paint on his car. There might have been some fading in his car's paint that caused it not to match the brand new paint on the parts. Just wanted to know if he had noticed anything like that.

foxman

flyboyindy claims this as well that the paint did not match, i did not notice it

good question
but the paint should match because they use your vin to get it right
and the paint should not fade in under a year or so

sorry to resurrect, but did you change the bulbs in your foglights? They look more blue than stock. The stock ones have been driving me nuts :p

wow...i don't even remember posting in this thread.

no, those are stock bulbs. the reason it came out so bright is because i used a slower shutter speed on my camera. the foglights are really regular halogen color.

the paint on the sideskirts matches very well with the paint on the car. i haven't had the car that long before i put the skirts on. i wax almost every week, so my paint better not fade :D

Thanks for the photography tip! I'll have to try that with my roomie's camera.
