F*cked Up Mazdaspeed Body Kit
I called the good folks over at rosenthal mazda asking about the MS Kit for my 8 and aparently a BIG time flaw has been found with them. According to the info I got the templates you use to drill holes in your bumper for the kit are WAY off. :Eyecrazy: Mazda is aparently working to figure out whats going on but has anyone else heard this? By the way if your about to buy a MS Kit you may want to wait or atleast call your vendor and enquire about this.

dude the MS kit is a direct fit....what are you talking about??
|
I have original MS kit.
what do you mean by drilling holes in the bumper ? front bumper ? If u're talking about rear, You have to CUT your original bumper to fit the MS one in, its just cover up. and for the side, yes you have to drill holes. |
you also might have to drill for the rear trunk
|
also , if you're talking about the spoiler, yes you have to drill holes (its using factory spoiler holes, if you dont have it like mine, u have to , other wise, take the factory one off and snap the new one on)
|
the strake instructions are the ones that are really off :)
|
I'm just passing on the info I was given when I was calling to see if they had any of the kits in stock for my 8.
Here is their number... Give them a call and they can tell ya... 1800-347-3493 |

well, holes are drilled on the side to keep the side skirts holding to the car.

landon is just spreading some news, but they maybe mean sides.
I had my body shop guy do it without drilling holes. it worked out great when I sold the sides. It was held on harder with the black epoxy glue than the screws :) |

I would think that epoxy and even double sided tape would fail after a while from heating and cooling (constant expansion and contraction) :scratchhe |

no doubled side just epoxy, it is the strongest bonding I have ever encountered. rotary rider comment can show you I never thought glue worked that well. p.m if you want me to get more info on it. |
