Mazdaspeed front without side skirts?
I've been thinking about adding a Mazdaspeed front but, can't afford the whole kit right now. I really like the aggressive look of the front end. How would this look with just some half side skirts and maybesome front splash guards. Can someone photoshop this in black? Thanks

I saw a car like that somewhere. It looked OK as long as you weren't looking at an angle where both front and sides stood out clearly...when you did, it looked sort of like it had an overbite.

I would just wait until you have the cash for the whole thing. Otherwise you end up being one of those guys who has a body kit installed but never get it painted
But seriously, the MS front is going to be very noticable from the side view when the rest of the car is higher up. It isn't going to look good.

I hate the put the back diffuser in. I love the rear fog light.
I will put the kit in. But half way is still acceptable. I have considered a different side - like Autoexe and rear ings which allows me to keep the rear fog...
Like you, I am still thinking, I have the = US appearance package at present.

If you want the MS front but the Appearance Package rear, get the MS front and sides. That way you won't have the height mismatch from front to side, which is a lot more noticeable than what you will have in the side-to-back transistion.

IMO just having the front alone makes the car look very unbalanced.
If you are only getting one component at a time, I would advise getting the side skirts first and then the front bar.
Just my 0.02c.

Hiro,
10000RPM just posted pictures of his new 8. It has MS front, front mud guards, and sides aero flares. In my opinion the front mud guards make a nice transition from the lowered MS front bumper to the rest of the car. Check it out..

I have no problem with just the MS front I think it looks good anyway.... most likely Im heading in that direction I'll be getting MS front then a month after Im getting side. Im not sure about rear cuz I dont really like it much I like the ING rear better. The rear might have to wait.
