I'm looking at my options for my car and I was debating on these options

Option 1: Stock front with lip, MS skirts, stock back with aeros
Option 2: Stock front with lip, MS skirts, MS back bumper
Option 3: MS front, MS Skirts, stock back with aeros
Option 4: Full MS kit

All of the Mazdaspeed components will be Replica as I really cannot afford the real deal, and from the pictures I've seen, they look the same. I've heard stories about fitting, but people say only the MS replica front doesn't fit that well.

What do you guys suggest? I saw a picture with the Stock front lip, MS skirts and MS back bumper and stock spoiler and I loved the look.

So for those who have the MS replica kit, how do you like it? Hows the fit? How much was paint/install? Give us some information not only for me, but probably many others who are looking to go with a replica. Thanks!

 

I have option 3 and I love it. The MS rear is so similar to rear aero flares that it didn't make sense to me to switch it out.

I love the kit--no complaints from here. The fitment is not snug around the headlights, but my shop guy says it can be fixed. Same with the sides, they sag slighly but can also be fixed. I didn't pay for paint/install, but if I had to, I would have paid around $1000.

I get tons of compliments, all the time. I would definitely recommend it.

 

I'd also need to decide because I am going to be debadging soon, so if I stay with the stock lip, ms skirts, and ms back bumper, I need to debadge the front emblem too.

Here are pictures with stock lip, ms skirts, and ms back bumper with the stock spoiler, this is NOT my car, but what I would like my final project to look like.

 

You'll have to debadge the trunk too.

I like the look of appearance pkg front. In fact, that's why I chose the car I did, but I wrecked and decided to upgrade.

That 8 also has OEM spoiler and MS or MS replica mirrors. Very clean.
