lolz...im not a big fan of veilside either. the only reason i got it cause since im running the car so low, i need something stronger than fiber glass, i had very bad experience with fiber glass. and this Veilside lip kit is the only legit kit that came poly urethane. I dont want crack this or crack that anymore. also if you guy notice i live in SF, if i get a regular sideskirt, when i go over driveway or hills.......its going to break my sideskirt, so i picked this with nothing in the middle. But i do still planning to change the sideskirt...let me know what you guys have!

thanks for everyone understanding.

I like the split side skirt, I think it's pretty sweet. Not keen on the lip but I can understand your reasoning.

Mazdaspeed bumper is Meton and stronger than OEM

But ya, a lot of people have it. Because it's sweet! That said I still want to switch it up every now and then.

Car looks great man

I think for a white 8, the best front end is a white lip like the veilside or a burnout lip. i think the ms front doesn't look aggressive enough for the white color. i think the only thing c41250n needs to do is paint them eyelids white and get the ings or autobahn sides!!

+1 on painting the eyelids

I understand his sideskirts, tho, if he lives in San Fran with all those hills he would easily bottom out the middle of the skirt and crack it. I think it would look hella clean to get them molded into the car. It would be tricky on the front if the piece extends further than the front fender, tho, otherwise you would never be able to remove the front fender if it's molded

thanks for all the love!
I would seriously consider to paint the eyelids!
molding the sideskirt is too extreme for me! I do plan to go with some other body kit!
ms body kit is too played out, and I don't want my intercooler to be showing, don't want to get my hood pop!

I agree the MS bumper is played out, but because it's a solid, great looking, awesome fitting, durable bumper. Like Enkei RPF1's LOL, a great wheel, but lots have them.

I seriously want a different bumper, but I can't roll with fiberglass. One rock and it's all over. My car is low and I've scraped my MS bumper a few times pretty good but it just takes it. Luckily it only scratches on the underside of the lip so nothing is visible.

The MS may be played out online but you rarely see it in real life. But it most likely would be the aftermarket front you would see on a modded 8. It is a great looking bumper. And I believe the MS kit is the only tested and proven to provide downforce.

Mazda did, the whole kit as a whole is supposed to make a noticeable diff.

I love my shitty MS bumper I got for free, its like rubber

I can say I felt a difference with the bumper even in handling, especially at high speeds (over 90mph), the front end feels much more planted.

^Yes, but in order for the Aero to be correct, you need ALL of the MS kit, including the Rear Wing.
