Pics of my new MS wing

Huge thanks go to Jeff and Michael J's Body Shop in San Jose, CA. He color matched the primered wing perfectly. For some reason Mazda doesn't feel the need to make it in GG but you'd never be able to tell the difference!

Love that MS Exhaust too!

Nice, i can't tell the difference. So big ups to them.
Btw, what does your license plate frame say? "I LOVE BEING...." something.

I love being Zach's Dad.

He's my five year old son and loves the car almost as much as I do.

I have all the exterior MS stuff I want. Next is the MS shocks and springs (then I'll put some tilt in the wing)

Not a huge fan of the MS body kit... I kind like the look of the stock nose and front just lowered. Don't get me wrong, the MS kit is a great looking kit, just not what I'm looking for.

Michael J's is going to be working on my car. They do a good job from every opinion on here.

Got Rotary? haha

time to add some ground effects. the MS wing makes the car look really high up without them.

Yeah.. they're great. Instead of just taking a color code and having me come back, they took the fuel door and matched it to existing paint (it's an 06).

Just can't say enough good things about Michael J's.


I'll be lowering the car next month.

the only grip i could have would be they are a little expensive but they do an amazing job.

You don't have to drill new holes when you remove the stock spoiler and replace it with the MS one. But when my stock was removed, there were scratches on the left and right because the stock spoiler is longer (runs higher up the trunk) than the MS one.

I'm glad to see that "got rotary" decal because I have a rotary dragon decal that fits there (not on yet) and wasn't sure what it would look like. Now i know.
