the wheels are actually 19x8.5 ADR.. not sure of the model (from like 2 seasons ago)..

i was wondering how long it was going to take to get bounced about the mazdaspeed badge

it does have ms struts but i really just liked the Carbon backed look

Backing into the driveway with the new lip there is maybe .5" of clearance. With the OE lip I had around 1.5".

I think it would be ok if it was not a direct hit at high speed. I would be more concerned hitting a cone head on causing it to get caught under the lip and somehow ripping it off the bumper.

does the lip bolt on like the OE appearance package lip or is it just taped on??

You need a lot of $$ to afford ANY of their rims. You could probably buy 2-3 sets of Volk wheels with just a set of HRE's.

No tape. It uses a lot of the same mounting positions as the OE lip. My comment was more about CF not being flexible enough for a direct hit.

Blue looks good with any color. But, I agree, I would have gone with the black since it's a BB.

I am a fan of black lugs myself. I have Muteki black lugs and black McGard wheel locks. IMO the blue stands out to much.

Thanks everyone for the feedback on the lugs. They are growing on but still not sure.

t_waszoo, looking good!

Jedi, your car look mean! Love the stance!

Speaking of Blue...thinking of changing my car color to a nice midnight blue. What do you guys think of that? It's either that color, or staying black but reclearing it with some graphite in the clear so it's almost a charcol black. Haven't really decided yet.
