You make it sound so easy But I'm seriously considering doing it for the learning experience. The trunk and spoiler seem like a safe pieces to learn on.

What does dotco mean?

I have done stuff like this couple times before. I like to do new stuff all the time.

Dotco is just a air sander.

pdx,

You'll find that people who work in factories start referring to all their tools by their brands and names.

I've decided on the MS bumper and the MS wing but i'm not sure when. I think i'll do the bumper relatively soon but i'm not in a real hurry and then i'll do the wing later.

RawrX8 - I noticed Progress Sways in your sig. When did you get those?

Good choice man. Still love the Feed front for your setup but it is pricey. IMO the best thing about the MS kit is it has been wind tested by Mazda and provides proven down force

BTW after posting the Feed pics I have convinced myself to go with their sides. My CC company thanks you for all the money I am going to spend $$$

I have had them for awhile now, about 2 months?. Went to install them when I did Eriks suspension but we only got the rears on. The front didnt come with the D bushings so im sitting waiting for them to show up in the mail.

Burn...

Fluid is not meaningless though. Redline in the tranny and diff is quite an improvement.

since i've been through the autoexe lip and now have the evo-r lip, all i can say is ae hangs alot lower and further out than evo-r'. If your on struts and springs thats should be ok but if your on coils.. good luck. +1 on MS is safer.

oh btw scratching is common and curbs is a killer..

I have nothin against the Mazdaspeed kit but it would be cool to go with a lip or a different look too for the front bumper and spoiler.

Dang thread hawk. I just listed my wheels that day cause i knew i was putting them on the same day.

If you put them on in the same day as posted in your sig I think that should be ok and not looked down on.
