My new MS Bumper!

One problem... they painted the accents at the bottom as well (guess they can't read the instructions very closely). Do you guys think it looks just as nice the way it is, or should i go and try to convince them to fix it. I just cant decide if it looks better or worse....



I will get some more pictures tomorrow with my actual camera and not my phone, but just to get an idea of what i am saying this will work.

edit: better pics!

About time dude lol !! Congratz !!! I personally like the accent grey. Gives more contrast. I would go back to them and tell them to fix it.

Do you have sides to match? If not, then it's fine. It looks good. You can do it if you want it's probably easier on the eyes for most since that is what we're use to seeing with the authentic MS.

As nice as the mazdaspeed kit is, I was never entirely fond of the fake splitter look.

If you could see, the ms front bumper color looks darker than the car color. Anyway, looks good.

Love it. I got mine painted bc I didnt want the gray stripe. It might be worth calling to point that out and maybe get a discount buy personally I say leave it.

They did the same thing when they painted mine and covered the bottom. I kept it and have never looked back.

They actually do play an important part of the airflow. I asked SpeedSource about the full kit they use in Rolex Series racing.

bumper looks like it doesnt match perfect because the entire car is dirty except for the bumper and part of the hood and fenders, lol once i get it nice and cleaned up it will look even better.

If i was you I would leave it the way it is. Get some Carbon fiber difuser (i think they call) and stick them in replacement of the ones they paint.
