until some company is dumb enough to let me design a car, there will always be something i'll want to change on it (both performance and looks). i like 95% of the 8 stock but there are some minor changes to make it feel like it was really made for me.

they seem like the same thing, but their price difference is ridiculous, makes me feel like the cheaper applique is just a sticker of some sort...
are they different or just cuz ones OEM??
both say applique' so Im thinking its $130 extra cause mazda made them?

I was gonna get some but then i noticed the window trim and mirror mounts are matte black and pick up the pillars, if they were piano they would pick up the gloss from the window edges so I dont know. The factory appearance lip I may get but it takes away the "tucked under" bevelled lines of the stock bumper which match the thick sill-less sides along the door bottoms, I dont like the half side sill from the factory appearance pkg b/c it interrupts the bold lines the sheet metal makes. Not a fan of the mud flaps behind the wheels either.

Agree with this somewhat although I think the appearance lip and mudflap goes great with the full side skirts - so that is the way I will go ...
