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. 
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.

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.

if your not 1st your last
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

How well does epoxy work? I would think that epoxy and even double sided tape would fail after a while from heating and cooling (constant expansion and contraction)

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.
