Yes they are similar
I am also following the "mazdaspeed" hood scoop thread, I just want to see it on a car before...

The full price is about 2500$...I paid 2000$ with discount and it took 6 weeks for delivery.

I am really really happy about these rims, because I do love the new look of the car and I can even feel the difference driving. They are lighter than stock and I can feel a better acceleration (slightly of course) and above all the steering response is better.

Did you repainted the hood and the trunk, because of the holes under the badges, or you know something magic method to disappear the holes?

I repainted the trunk and the front bumper (not the hood) because of the holes...it's a more or less easy task for an experimented car body shop

Thanks! : ) Off course the bumper not the hood. I would like to put away all the emblems as you did, except the mazda logo in the middle of the trunk's rear side.

Your car is beautiful! Sometimes the less is more.

I love the work emotion xd9 rims you got there yari, Im actually looking into it and thinking about getting a set for my self in 18x9 +43 offset in bronze. One question I have though is there any cap we can buy for the wheel? I've been looking and seems like no one carries them.

Next, I think I am going to paint the stock side mirrors to match the body color.

Nice ride. I was scratching my head about the 'body color' anything.
