I am really sick of hearing "buy authentic, it's the ONLY way to go" and "thats lame, it's a replica" but in all reality, is their a Mazdaspeed replica wing that fits really well, and isn't too narrow from side to side, and isn't almost as much as the "AUTHENTIC". i really don't want to pay $600 for a primed version of the original from the dealer or from the internet. is their one that is reasonable priced that look almost as good as the original?

i don't want to pay the HUGE $$$ for the original but if it "truley" is worth it i guess i have to save up. but if i can save a couple hundred i would love too.

anyone with replicas chime in here for me.

thanks
Anthony

 

i actually ordered a ms replica for 229.00 plus s/h from ebay when i got my 8 and it was so horrible the body shop quoted me almost 300 for install so i just threw it away i would have passed it on to a member but i didnt want anyone to go through what i did thats why im telling you this the reason everyone says GO AUTHENTIC is coz its TOTALLY worth it bro

 

yeah, and it takes only a few min for install, do it your self, just save your money for good body parts like MS or SEIBON

 

There is a reason authentic cost more, and it isn't just the name...fitment

 

Believe us when we say this, but the replicas look different from the authentic. Even if the fitment is perfect, something about the upper spoiler looks off on replicas. Go with the authentic.

 

I have a replica, fitment is 9/10. The only problem with it is that the brackets aren't metal. Other than that, people always ask me first, "This is authentic, isnt it?"

I got it from Fluid but he doesnt sell them anymore

 

What do you mean only a few? Wouldn't you still have to mark where you're going to drill and mount? I don't know what all it entails for an OEM install but I would think it would take at least 20 mins for someone who knows what they're doing. Correct me if I'm wrong.

 

got my authentic wing for 200 dollars
installed it myself
took me about 2 hours, but went really well =]
im happy

 

The authentic MS wing reuses the holes from an oem spoiler, so if you already have the oem spoiler, it could take as little as 5 mins to install.

 

I know, I know. I was really hoping someone would say "go with this replica cuz it's just as good" I do not have a factory spoiler right now and the only one I would get is the MS one. But I have a eurethane front replica and it fit's perfect. I mean perfect after verry little work. The rear was a different story and I went back to stock.

But some replicas are fantastic, I will be drilling holes anyway so fitment to the factory holes isn't an issue, just how the lip follows the trunk curve and quality of material.

It's just the price tag is rediculous. $1,000 painted. Come on. That's absurd.

 

let me guess, your going to mazda site? i think you can find better pricing some other place im sure

 

I know if I looked I could find it cheaper if I really searched, but what's the cheapest I'm going to find this thing painted/primed?

I don't compete officially yet so the mazdaspeed discount is out.

 

I'll be nice today:

There's one that's unpainted and another that's painted.

 

that's still expensive.

There is a replica available which I heard is an excellant fit except for the lip. The lip is a little off.

I wish I had a link to that site.

 

yeah that's huge $$$ and again. the problem.

and i wasn't looking for a link. just a $ figure

I'll search when i'm ready to purchase, aside from buying from a member for a used one, what's the cheapest anyone has found this online?


let's put our heads together and think about this.
and if there is a QUALITY replica, i'm down for that too.

 

It's the brackets that is the problem. I was in the market for the MS spoiler for a long time. I've even bought a replica in "good" condition. Lemme show you what you get.















It's some sort of plastic, maybe fiberglass? I wouldn't drive with it on my car.

 

I thought that mazdaspeed products came painted from the factory already?

 

^ Authentic parts do but u can also buy them primered

 

Not all colors come painted which is one of the reasons you can purchased pieces with just primer.

 

Fluidmotorsports.com has a good price on a Authentic MS wing $900

 

ah ****. now i have to cough up the giant $$$ for the original.

well, you finally SHOWED me something (which is why i posted this in the picture thread in the first place). thanks.

well, if someone bought a quality one somewhere let me know.

pics help too.

 

Like I said dude, just wait until one pops up used. I got mine for $450 shipped/painted with 9/10 fitment

 

and yours is original, right?

 

Looks like a replica to me. Something about replica MS wings look weird.

 

buy a trunk rear lip, in my opinion i think it looks better than the spoiler.
