I tore the logo off the stock bumper and had the help of a micrometer, tape measure, compass, masking tape, and 5mm drill to punch the 2 holes.

Thank you for the comments, they are greatly appreciated.

It's nice but you need something behind the rear wheels IMHO to balance the car out. Otherwise, Great Job!

I was considering the rear apron as well, but I didn't want to cut up my stock bumper to install it. Perhaps some Ings or Mazda rear aero flares will be added in the future. :-D Thanks.

I drive ~3000 miles per month over some pretty rough LA/OC terrain. I'd hate to lose my ease of clearance. Perhaps I'll get larger wheels some time in the future and drop it down to stock height. But yeah thanks - that's a GReddy SP2. I can stick half my foot into them tips.

Looks great, but man, pretty soon EVERYONE is going to have a MS kit!

I agree on taking off the front plate (if you are willing to risk it).

The front license plate was attached to the front battering ram, shortly after being requested to do so by local police. The rear plate will soon follow.

It's somewhat true. The AeroWerks urethane kit has its flaws, particularly in the side marker mounting and the side skirt finish. From far away or at night the whole setup looks excellent. But when taking a closer look or checking the reflections, the wavy surface and bodyline gaps are quite noticeable.

If anyone wants it, I'm still selling! :D
