It's this MazdaSpeed appearance package that it came with; MazdaSpeed wheels, rotary accent front and rear, spoiler and MazdaSpeed CAI. It was supposedly $3500 extra but I didn't pay for that lol. I also got them to give me the stock wheels as well so I've got an extra set now!

You got a diff package but its NOT the Mazdaspeed package dog. Not the MS spoiler and the accents really have nothin to do with Mazdaspeed. Good thing you didnt pay the $3500 for a "Mazdaspeed" package cuz thats not what you got.
I just think you got the wording mixed up or something re: what package you got. Is awesome you got the extra stock wheels, KEEP THEM.
Looks great though and congrats, i love the BB. Great pics!

Hate to say it, but they have those wheels at my Mazda dealership and they are indeed Mazdaspeed, but they are for the the 6, and they are 18x7 in size so you are loosing an inch of width over stock. Not much of an upgrade if you ask me. Nice photos though.

It was just one of those incentive packages that they threw in for a limited time offer. I actually bought the car after the offer expired but it was a showroom floor unit with everything already installed so they included it in the deal.

As for plans for mods, I'm not really sure, I'm actually a former Mazda3 owner (Mazda3Forums mod actually hehe) I'm sure I'll get around to doing something to it...as I have a little problem that I have to mod stuff lol.
Some pics of my old car:

I'm not happy about the whole corksport Dash Kit being the only option so I doubt my Pioneer HU will be going in the 8.

The stock wheels are 18 x 8. The mazdaspeed wheels that came with that package are 18 x 7.5. You lose 1/2" only per wheel.
The package in Canada is NOT called the "Mazdaspeed performance package". It's simply called the Performance package. The only parts that are mazdaspeed are the wheels and the cold-air intake.

And out of the 5 items included, 2 are MazdaSpeed items. Don't really care what it's called....if they called it the MazdaSlow package I wouldn't give two hoots either.
