More green with Mazdaspeed (big pictures, modem beware)

Been too long since I've taken pictures. None came out great today, but I couldn't find a good spot before sunset. Lots of pictures, hope you like.


See, it really is green....ish.


That neon in the background was too cute to crop.


Haven't touched up the Zaino in a long while, but still a good reflection I think.

My favorite of the day.




Nothing like a cemetary as a back drop. Hey, I warned you that I couldn't find a good spot!

Eston you have proven to me that the MazdaSpeed front matches well with the factory kit...

Thanks and look good... and now where is my lotto ticket? (I have to see if I won first prize :D)

Cemetary Shots? Cool effect

Hey,

I'm assuming you did it on purpose, but it definitely made for a cool shot to take the pics in front of a cemetary.

Thanks for the compliments

As far as the rest of the kit, no plans on that in the remotely near future. I bought the car with the appearance package, so I'll just keep that on for the time being. If I do go for side skirts, I might actually look at some aftermarket ones to get a little more styling on them. For the time being, I'm digging the MS nose with the front splash guards and side aero flares anyhow. The next few thousands $$ are going to audio/video and then performance modifications, so it will be a while before I look at any more body kit additions.

Regarding the fog lights, they naturally sit behind the grill on the Mazdaspeed nose, but you can cut holes in the grill for them. I decided to leave the grill as is both to maintain a nice solid look and for protection.

As far as green or black, that's the same two colors I chose between. I went with the green because I had a black car for the prior three years. There are few things as beautiful as a pristine shiny black car, but there's no doubt that even the green, as dark as it is, is way easier to maintain.

You Just Convinced Me To Look Into The Mazdaspeed Kit. I Qwasnt Sure How It Would Look On My Nordic Green But It Looks Hot. Did It Lower The Front? I Have Lowered Mine 1.75" Already. Woundering If It Will Be A Issue.

If I remember right, the stock front (WITH air dam) is at 6" and the MS front is at 5.5" (at stock setup, no lowering).

So, if you're comparing to a nose that has the front air dam, you're only looking at half an inch lower. Compared to no front air dam, I'm not sure (maybe another half inch?).

(One of my old favorites)

Guys, I got a question. Is that a real Mazdaspeed kit or a replica? And do all the kits have that plastic thing across the main front grille? Would it be possible to get rid of it? Thanks!
