O.K. so here is my delema. I was always gonna get the MS wing for my '8 and was always considering the MS front end, I melt in my seat everytime i see it, but after seeing Dazygirl's car, I think I am gonna splurge and get the whole kit. I figure all and all it will rin me aboput $2000 (for the poliurithane version). I leased my car and do not plan to buy it out in the end. If anything, I will get another one. Do I go ahead and spend that kind of coin on the kit or not? and if so, who has the best service and prices? What do ya think? :o

 

If it's a lease, don't do anything to it. You're setting yourself up for more money loss in the end. If I were you, I wouldn't bother, especially since you have no plans to buy it out.

My 2cents.

 

I agree !!

 

Depends on when your lease ends.

If you bought it for $2000 and have 2 years left on your lease you can take it off and sell it after 2 years and maybe get $1000 for it -- so it only cost you $1000 to enjoy the look of your car for 2 years.

The downside is that you have to store your Stock Front and, depending on which version you buy, you might have to buy a new rear bumper. The OEM MazdaSpeed bumper requires cutting the stock bumper, so you'll have to replace it. Many of the knockoffs actually replace the entire bumper, so you'd only need to store the Stock Rear as well.

And if you don't want to go through that trouble, I imagine that most dealers won't care one bit as long as you're using a MazdaSpeed bodykit. They'll make more on it when you return it anyhow. Particularly if its' actual MazdaSpeed, but I doubt they'd complain (or even know for that matter) if it wasn't.

 

hahaha that is true. Well my lease is up in November of 2008 so I got loads of time to enjoy it if I were to get it. That is a good point about the rear end. I would get the nock off just so I could preserve the origional bumper. P.S. MS wing is on it's way:p :D
