changing the fenders to those looks like quite a hard job, as the rest of the kit is pretty much bolt on, but surely the original fenders are welded on?

The front fenders are bolted on not welded into place. You can change them but it would not be the simplest thing to do.

Wow...thanks for all the pictures!!!

I don't know what body kit I'll get one day but I really like the new MS8 body kit, I like the old one too...but I like this one better.

I also would love to know who makes the rims on the MS8 v2....anyone know? If I could save 5 pounds per wheel and make it look better.....ohhh yeah, I'd be a happy camper.

With that said...everything MS, is overpriced so I'll probably end up with something aftermarket...maybe just a lip and stuff.

The new Mazdaspeed wheels look great.

I think the new front bumper is more conservative than the current Mazdaspeed one and looks awesome.

for comparison

the styling i squite close on all 3 of the above but there are nuanced differences that can easily make folks choose one over the other. the MS has a different shaped "mouth" over all from the autoexe and vertex. plus it doesnt have those little vents or those depressions on the side as autoexe does. it also has those sort of molded in splitters. the vertex has that large protruding lower lip. plus the MS will be made of a much better material than FRP.

there are enough differences that they can each have a different level of appeal to different people

I want one, just like, only it has to be painted RED!!!

Love those fenders, the wheels, the brakes, could do without the paint on the rotors, but the kit is nice and I love the spoiler.

PLEASE MAZDA, make this car, and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE throw in forced induction!!!
