well when i mentioned it to them, they all have said they cant call it the mazda speed. they all call it the M1 SPEEDKIT. it was a little more in price, but they said they could do it for 1000.00 since i have made big previuos orders with them. is it a decent body kit? i love it. or would there be somthing better to look at?

those 2 things tell me its a knock off.... you wont get a genuine MS kit new for even close to that. and MS kit is Metton not polyurethane.

dont waste your money getting a cheap one. i have held and destroyed(with my hands) fiberglass and poly knockoffs.... they are flimsy and i wouldnt trust them if it cost only $50

there are literally dozens if not hundreds of accounts on here of ppl getting knockoffs and being extremely disappointed, and just as many "i told you so's" cause honestly, they were warned

you're going to be spending nearly if not more then $3,000 for genuine mazdaspeed.

edit: and that's without the wing..

go authentic and buy the front rear and sides at once so you can get a discount. I spent a little under 3k for my ms kit.

Talking

[U][/Uwell i called mazdatrix today, great help! GOOD THING IS THEY COME PREPAINTED FOMR FACTORY MAZDA PAINT. but to my house it would cost 2990.00 dollars. she said they just got a replica kit in alos, that thye are going to check out. the guy there gets to put everything on his rx8 and try the stuff out before they sell iit on market. SUPERCHARGERS she said, he got to use one for few months and he liked they way it workd and no issues, so my conclusion is, im going to go with the REAL mazdaspeed kit! for perfect all around fit. THANKS GUYS

You can no longer get a legit Mazdaspeed kit new (no longer made) unless you get it from someone who is hording a brand new kit. And the title of this thread makes my stomach churn.

This does appear to be the right legit Mazdaspeed kit. However, it says they were added in 2006. My guess is if you call for availability they no longer have them in stock, just like everyone else.

Honestly your best bet is stalk the for sale section here everyday. Put up a "want to buy" (WTB) ad and state that you are looking for a mazdaspeed front and rear bumper. Every once and a while someone sells there car and has one available.

Yeah but I bet none of them will be Nordic green so I would have to get them prepped and painted but I guess that true about any of new body kit. I was thinking about just going with the type 2 Racing Beat kit. The main reason I was looking at the mazdaspeed cause it just looks better and I heard it provides more air to flow over the oil coolers

Oh dear. Let me give you a piece of advice before you get engulfed in flames: Don't bother bumping threads that are +10 years old, let alone ask for updated links from then.... you're better off deleting that comment and starting a {WTB} thread in the "for sale" section like this +10 year old thread already suggested.

Thanks for the reply. I will take that in consideration but really don't care that the subject is 13 years old or 13 days old.

BLUFF: It's totally legit to request updates, regardless of the age of the post. As a multi-website creator & business owner, I understand how data becomes fossilized, but a method to keep it fresh is to engage and request updates. Sometimes it's easier for admins to update data (when able) just to keep the threads active and helpful. It's a method that lengthens threads instead of splintering threads into 100 new threads. Of course, that requires rotational teams of competent, active admins.

My commitment to the club is this: if I drop a link, and someone asks me for an update a decade later, I'll update it or delete it. Not a problem. If someone asks anything, regardless of the intent, motive, understanding or lack thereof, I will answer it and point them in the right direction. If I'm an administrator or moderator, I'll check the link and update as able, because all threads, of all time can be beneficial to users. I already do it for a few websites. It's too easy.
_____________________________
For the link in question, looks like Trademotion.com, a California-based supplier of multiple auto parts, was bought out by Reynolds & Reynolds in 2017 and turned into a software company: https://www.daytondailynews.com/busi...iXi44BLGvjJbN/
R&R was sued for a data breach of 81,000 customers in 2018 and the business went under. It's now under a computer software label, but inactive.

apparently you don’t care that the person you’re replying to hasn’t been on this website since 2017 and you look silly, x 2.5 (you get extra credit for that reply)
