MazdaSpeed body color painted Kits

I bought my 8 a couple months ago and have put alot of time and effort restoring it. I've changed the spark plugs, ignition coils, plug wires, front wheel bearings, I carbon fibered the rails on the center console, bought a new leather shift boot, and recently paid a place $375 to pop all roughly 30 dents out of the car. Needless to say it looks fantastic now. Compression test from Mazda shows engine in good health.

Sorry for the long intro but that's 2 months worth of project posts rolled up into a paragraph. I am wanting to purchase rear aero flares, side skirts, and possibly the front bumper. They are all OEM parts and come prepainted the color of the car.

Has anyone bought any pre-painted body kits from mazdaspeed? Do the colors match pretty well?

Mazdaspeed body kits are no longer produced in prepainted colors, it they are even produced at all.

I believe the parts you are looking for are the Mazda OEM Appearance package parts... Not Mazdaspeed.
As far as I know, the paint is matched well, if you buy from a reputable source.

Hmm. There are still a number of sites floating around that carry the kits. Maybe the sites are not legit?

Howcome the mazdausa website still says they have the body-color painted mazdaspeed body kits in stock if everyone says they are no longer available?

^because some MS retailers still have painted bumpers in stock. However, finding one is difficult.
I believe there are many primered kits available.
