Yeah, not sure I'm confident with the install. Does anyone know if the grill kit caters for the air dam accessory?

I'm pretty sure everyone that has bought a grill kit has installed it themselves. And I even think one of them is on a car with the air dam.

A few guys have posted their experiences of fitting the protection themselves...

Stackers is an alright sort of guy. Always good for a laugh. I bought my first ever new car off him in 1992. Now I'm on my 5th Mazda.

Yes he's certainly one of best car salesman I ever come across for that very reason. You should be eligible for mazda sponsorship by now! What models have you had?

1992 323 Astina SP 1.8 (BG?? don't know models :( )) Blueish Green
1997 323 Astina 1.8 (Next model) Sparkle Green
2000 323 Astina, 1.6 (Next model) Grace Green
2002 Madza 6 2.3 Classic sedan Silver Contrail
2003 RX-8


Plus my parents' Mazda '6 Luxury/Sport, and my in-laws' Tribute Classic.

You would have thought I could have got at least 1 dollar of the sticker price of the '8 :mad:

Add to the mix a VT Clubby, and a VXII SS, and you'll understand why my golden retriver's name is Brock.

Cheers,
Hymee.
