I do know that the US model 05's were called Whitewater while the Japanese 05's were called Snowflake.........however..........my US model 06 is called Snowflake.....and as I said earlier, the 07's are Crystal. Anyway, since no one could ever give me a straight up answer as to whether the paint codes were different or not.....I just went ahead and bought a JDM MS kit since I KNEW that they called it Snowflake, and Snowflake is what my window sticker read.

Oh and love the car Konig!

Well I think you and I are the only two white 8's in the US with the complete Mazdaspeed kit. (or atleast the only two posting pictures on the forums.) Anyway your car looks great! I hope you post more pictures soon! Oh and be prepared for the leg humpers around here....... they love girl drivers, can you imagine how much they'll love a girl with TURBO!?!?!?

I want to Buy a Lip spoiler (r - Magic) But Its growing on me without the spoiler right now...

If I buy a spoiler, it will definately be an R-Magic, but im not sure if i should go carbon fiber or just straight white.....

STRAIGHT WHITE! If you break the clean white look you've got going.......you'll ruin it. Course I've never liked carbon fiber either..... it looks high schoolish to me. Just my 2 cents.

More Pics... !!

I got some better pics of the wheels, some people were asking what size lip on the back... they are 3 inch I believe, It could be a bit bigger, I dont remember, but its pretty deep. I took a pic to show.. It was a nice day out so i tried to take some more full body shots...

While I dont mind the black rim look... I think its just a phase right now, Plus the cost to get the rims redone etc... Probably will be more than what I spent on em...

Can you post all the details on your MS kit. I believe you said it was a VIS kit?

How much did it cost for installation and painting, and whats it called on the website?

How long was it in the shop?
