Im going to sorta agree with Mikelikes2drive and snizzle : The MS front bumper doesnt fit that well with no side skirt or the stock apperance package sides.... you need some kind of side skirt that brings it down as low as the front bumper. I had just the MS front bumper on for about 2 weeks while I waited for my side skirts to come in and then install them..car looks much better now that is has the MS side skirts...although it was a bit of work to put them on (16 freaking holes to drill!) it doesnt have to be the MS sides, but some sides would look much better IMO.

hmm, Well I'm not really a fan of the MS sides they look strange to me, I think if i where to get sides i would have to look around and see what other ones are out there !

Nah you guys are right, It is plain But once it's on it does make it look much better, I found this side by side of two rx8s one w/ the MS and one w/o it

Something I noticed though... the reason why Mazda uses "half" side-skirts. If you look, you may notice that there is a rising line along the bottom half of the doors. It gives the car more of a nose down, *** up feel. Adding a rear spoiler and/or appearance package side skirts only enhances this look... adding visual weight to the rear of the car. The MS side skirts destroy this visual and "flatten" the car. They do dramatically change the look of the car... more... sporty I guess, but at the same time it has this effect. Adding the view blocking MS spolier helps to counter this, but... it's expensive and view blocking. Would I get the MS kit? Hmm... probably... but I'd think it over, look at both in person and get the opinions of others first.
