just wondering if any knows if the parts from the 2009 like stock rear and side skirt ground kit fit the older model. hopefully u know what i mean idk if they consider this the appereance package on the 2009 model

 

Yes, but with the rear bumper you might have a slight/small gap around tail lights because the 2009 tail lights stick out a little more compared to the old previous model tail lights. Side skirts shouldn't be a problem at all.

 

Where did you get your sides? I wanted to get some but the dealership wants like 600-700 a SIDE for he R3 ones while the bumber(although unpainted) is only like 450.

 

the mazdaspeed sides come painted. and they are about that cost.

 

thats what you get for factory fitment and a dead sexy sideskirt, you gotta pay to play, I cant believe how many people complain about this kinda stuff, "like man I didnt think a sideskirt for a $33K sports car would cost so much",,,
