Got the MS Kit
 

My 1st major mod, already have the lowering springs from Mazda, gives it a nice drop without hindering comfort. Next up are the wheels.....

Looks great! How much did it cost you total? You plannin on rims??

nice

It cost a lot and I dare not say :Eyecrazy: Actually when you consider it's OEM quality and not fiberglass and the fact that it's painted and fitted it's not a bad price, but then again $6K is still a fortune :puke:

Wheels will come when I can afford them :eek: The car is only 2 weeks old!

congrats! its a very nice kit and i like the pics

I am def considering this kit BUT i'm on tein s-tech lowering springs, any chance you could give me a couple measurements?? Mainly the front ground clearance and the distance from the side markers to the bottom of the bumper (vertical)

looks good...i like the MS emblem on the side skirts...

5" ground clearance, 18" on the second measurement. I'm on Tein S-tech.

so subtle yet so beautiful, ever since i first laid eyes on the ms kit.
quick question, that plastic bar/oil cooler housings/and grill on the front come with it right?
i LOVE that plastic bar!!

all in all, thumbs up, beautiful and clean

Oh! And nice ride! ;)

I can get the measurements for you tomorrow, it's 11pm here ;) However my car is lowered with the Mazda lowering springs which lower it by 20mm I believe. For me this drop with the kit is perfect, it clears the huge speed humps they have over here!!

is that a fog light on the rear bumper? any better shots?

6k :Eyecrazy:

awesome thanks again, plus you can give me the distance in metric, i'm an engineer :)

Thanks! Yes all of that comes with the authentic kit. The kit was supplied and fitted by Mazda for me. I saw the kit before it got installed, the bumper looked better IMHO without the plastic bar as the mouth looked HUGE! The problem was the grill they suplly would not have covered the extra bit the plastic covered.

Only wish we did not have to have the front plate like you guys, it just spoils the whole clean look.

Yes it is, wish I had told them to keep it off, but we need it here for it to pass MOT (yearly certificate to confirm it's road worthy). It stick out a bit and the original fog (rotary shaped) cannot be refitted to the MS kit.

I'll get a better pic at the w/e.

I'm trying to figure out how this cost you $6,000. Please tell me, it wasn't $6,000 euros :eek:


MS Wing - $876
MS Rear under bumper - $732
MS Side Skirts - $720
MS Front Bumper - $1,290
MS Lowering Springs - $258

Total = $3876.00
Even if you added the MS exhaust ($540), that would still only be $4,416
(all prices were taken from trussville mazda)

Are prices in Europe even more then here in the US??
What did a body shop charge you for install???

I was quoting USD, however I'm in the UK and the USD is not worth much at the moment against the pound (GBP) :p: Even so it is still more expensive here compared to the US I think, purely because there is only one Mazda dealer that I know of that supplies these in the UK....

Supplied painted (not fitted)

Front bumper - £980
Sides Skirts - £551
Rear under bumper - 521
Rear wing - £711
Front fog light brackets - £55

Install was about £300!

6000 british pounds = about 3,009.48 usd

You might know your meters and inches but its more like £3,000 GBP is about $6,000 USD :spank: :mdrmed:

HA, one point for you my friend :)

Even with the plate it looks awesome. Europlates are so much smoother and blend in a lot better than our squarish ugly plates in the states.

Very nice!!!

nice ridE

Perfection.
