I'm picking up the Mazda Full Front Mask for my 8 on the way home from work this evening. I ordered it about a week ago from my local dealer. I plan to only use the mask when I make long freeway trips. In other words, about once or twice a year. My first long trip (700 miles round trip) will be over the Thanksgiving weekend. I'll post any problems (if any).

One bit of info for you based on my experience with the front mask. If you have done the A/C condenser and/or oil cooler protection mod, you may have problems with some of the mask attachment points. I did the grille opening fix and when I tried to reinstall the mask, I realized that the lower attachment fixtures on the mask would not easily attach and would probably NOT detach from the front air dam without some modification to the grid I had installed in the lower grille opening. I removed the nose again and clipped out small pieces of the grid where the mask attaches.

If you haven't done the grille mod, keep this in mind if you plan to do that.
