Yup, metal wire. There are three pieces. One center piece, and two oil cooler pieces.

Not here in Canada. And I doubt in the States either. I had to get my hand-cut. They did an amazing job... it was so professionaly done it doesn't even look like there's a clear bra.

Cool. So technically, it can be done and a precut pattern isn't necessary, huh?

can you keep the stock fog lights on the car with the mazdaspeed front bumper? or do you need to do some extra work to keep them there?

you have to buy the foglight brackets for the MS bumper, since the factory/original foglight brackets are not long enough to fit the new openings. I think the brackets were an additional 70 bucks...and added about 2 hours to my install time (no joke...the installation booklet for the foglight brackets is twice the length of the booklet for the bumper).

I have the touring package so my car came stock with foglights. I wanted to keep them so I had to buy the brackets for another 60-70 bucks or so to get them to fit with the new bumper. You'll also have to cut holes in the mesh on the msped bumper so they'll poke through.

you don't have to cut the holes, but you will have to cut the oil cooler duct, as well as drill the mounting holes for the brackets. I have seen several MS kit owners who have not cut their screens and still mount the fogs. Makes it a little easier, but it really depends on whether you like that look. I cut my screens and am happy that I did.

Hi guys! I have headlights washer on my 8, do you think it's easy to install them back with the front MS kit?

Also, what do you do about the towing hooks? Is there a spot where to attach them on the front bumper with the MS kit?

Thanks !

I don't recall having anything in the installation booklet about how to reattach the headlight washers. Regarding the tow hook, Mazda does sell a Mazda speed tow hook.

if you had it payed off, it would be cheaper to buy another silver MT and just swap all the parts over.

Converting to MT would be a lot of money and work, around 5k at least would be my guess, if you had a shop do it.

Dont get my wrong, your car is SO hot, and I want my car to look very similar, diffent wheels, but thats about it....

i totaly understand not being able to drive MT, thats no problem, im not doging on you.

happy motoring
