My 8 gets an early Christmas gift
Just got the MS wing I bought from derwankel... UPS delivered it @ 8:45 last night (didn't know they delivered that late).. anyway, i took off the stock wing and put the MS wing on to see how it looks/fits... perfect! :D taking it to get painted today.. can't wait. Thanks derwankel!

That's a nice present!
My only suggestion (which you probably are already aware of) is let your body shop see your trunklid and match the spoiler to that. If they just order the factory pack using the paint code, it may or may not match.
It's going to look sweet when it's done :D

My MS spoiler came factory painted... my thought is that this is a replica.

They come both painted and unpainted.
None of my MS stuff came painted except the side skirts, which I ordered from Rosenthal.
I actually like the non-painted stuff better as a good shop will match it perfectly. The MS skirts were ever so slightly "off" the body color, but the rest of the kit that was done by the shop was basically perfect when it was all said and done.

Thanks for the information. If I were to order MazdaSpeed, I would make sure to get them paint it first. Body shops in my area can't match the colour of my car if their life depended on it! lol

Unpainted MS stuff has been around for a while.
