the appearance package has the front air dam side aero thingies and rear aero thingies(flares?) $970
then you have to add the wing spoiler on top of that. the wing spoiler is the seen on the black car. $355
total=$1325 usd. won't be sneaking that past the wife. looks like just the cd changer for me. they don't have those strakes for the behind-the-wheel(gotta be a better name for those) vents listed. i wonder how much they will be?

Are these not in any of those new pkgs?
I see you listed front fogs as an addon.. darn I thought those are standard! All the pics say so... please confirm.

no those are the "strakes" and they are not listed on the website at all.
the base model doesn't come with fogs, but you can get them seperate if you want without bumping up to the sport package.
the flare can be seen in this pic as well as the front air dam
in fact most of the items can be seeen in the brochure from japan

exterior:
front air dam, strakes for wheel vents and rotor accents and foglight if available. Brushed exhaust would be cool too. The price is going to soar into the stratosphere.

That's right, the Touring and GT come with the fogs.. whew. thanks for clearing up my panic attack.
Aah.. so those added plastics (ground effects looking things) are the flares and dams.. Hmm no thanks.
Just rotors are fine.. now I guess I might have to make my own fin strakes hahaha

RR rotary foglight bezel
front fogs
Brushed-look grille trim

Brushed custom rotor-type centercaps to replace the M logo

window guard
no mention was made anywhere of this window guard from the japanese brochure. i found them useful on my old accord. you can have the window down a little bit for the fresh air but no water gets in if it is raining.

i was kidding bruh...thus the wink at the end of my post.
i'll be importing the start button from japan. hey, if my friend's s2000 has one why can't i? :Dit would take a major catastrophe for me to cancel my pre-order toadman...and i mean MAJOR!
on a side note...can anyone shed some light on why the states ALWAYS get shafted on the cool ish for their cars? cost? demand? DOT?

I'M THINKING THAT THE FRONT & REAR POLISHED ROTORS REFFERED TO IN THE "ROTOR ACCENT KIT", REFERS TO THE DISC BRAKE ROTORS, NOT THE HEADRESTS.
ROTORS IN THE MOTOR ARE'NT THE ONLY ROTORS IN THE CAR.

What are the Front/Rear Splash Guards listed on the Mazda website? Are these mud flaps?
and What is the Brushed-look grille trim that zoom44 referred to? Is this referring to the latticework in the grille or something framing the grill?
