Keep the car stock. You'll enjoy it longer.

There's no end to mod. Once you start, you can't stop.

that's the mazdaspeed spoiler. the holes off the stock spoiler will match it. only complaint is that sometimes the stock spoiler leaves scratches that the mazdaspeed spoiler won't cover up.

Original around $1500, replica around $800.

It can not be used together with the stock spoiler. cos the MazdaSpeed spoiler has a base with will curve around the rear edge of the boot so the stock spoiler has to be remove.

no matter wat kit u get, i wld strongly advise u to get original kits..... u will not regret.


On 1st look, yes they seems expensive, but they are expensive for a reason.
1. No hassle paint job. Labour is so much cheaper than spraying on a replica kit.
2. No wavy lines after a while.
3. So much more durable.
4. Does not crack easily.
5. Definitely looks good and looks expensive!
6. Brings ur car up one level in terms of class.
7. Confirmed, chop, guarantee no regrets after putting on.

Replica kits, cheap they may seem, but may not really cheap.
1. Higher cost of spray painting due to the amount of excessive putty works.
2. the opposite of the above points.


End of the day, the price difference in total maybe juz dat few hundred dollars but the quality that u r getting is different...... there are juz too many classic cases. Of cos, there are still ardent supporters of replica kits. Above are juz my personal opinions without prejudice...

True la.. original always better.. but there is a price to pay lor..

Difference is not a few hundreds.. it is more than a thousand!!
Original kit plus spray $3000-4000 +++
Replica plus spray $1300-1500

You said replica needs more expensive spray to make it look better.. true.. but only 100 - 200 more..

Lets not argue real one better or replica better. cos this has been going on and on everytime so new members ask the same question.

In the end, just let the new driver decide. let him/her find out for his/herself if his money is well spent.

It just like teaching kids. sometimes we as parents just go to let the children try and discover for themselves.
