Do Mazdaspeed parts (spoiler/side skirts etc) fit the series 2 RX-8?

spoiler and side skirts are interchangeable
not the front bumper.

Awesome - good to know. I wanted side skirts and possibly a spoiler...not sure what the manual lip spoiler will look like in person.

I ordered a 09 White Grand Touring but it's not here yet.

Looks like he traded in his wife since then... My guess is that has something to do with the acquisition of another 8.

Divorce happened

Needed the $$ at the time to pay the lawyer fees.

Why not get R3 side skirts instead of Mazdaspeed? They are just a little more pricier but I think they look better.

Crystal White Pearl:

F197-51-P40A-85 Right
F197-51-P50A-85 Left

You can buy them individually from any US Mazda dealer or online. They do not come with a install guide.

The other option is to buy the JDM accessory kit from japanparts.com which supposedly includes the drilling template, but then you deal with large shipping issues and what if it is damaged, etc. etc.
