Pictures of Mazda speed front with app pckg
 

Hey all:

I need to replace my front bumper due to an accident. Has anyone put a Mazdaspeed front bumper on with the rest of the factory appearance package?

Any comments or pictures would help.

Thanks,

I don't have any pictures but I did have the MS bumper on first before I purchased all of the other MS parts, and I had the full appearance package when I bought the 8... It's still looked good then, with just the MS front bumper.

Go for it, the worst that can happen is you end up buying all of the MS parts, haha, and spending 5k.

Post pics after you do the install.

I actually like the way the MS kit looks with the stock bumper + appearance package front skirt.

I think it would look unbalanced

I have the same questions. I got in a little accident and was thinking about MS bumper with apperence pkg.

In the end it's going to cost me the same. I cracked the light , bumper, air dam, and bent the front right fender.

I just installed the MS front a few weeks ago with the appearance package. Darn so much for being original. :P I think it looks really good. The car looks a little meaner now. I also have the front mud guards installed so I think that really helps the lines of the car flow. Without them the front may look a little to low compared to the rest of the car. Installing the bumper was a snap it's the fog lights that are a pain. Especially adjusting them once the bumper is installed.

I'll try and post some pictures when I get a chance. With all the weather we've been getting the car isn't the cleanest right now... Maybe after I wash it. j/k... kind of.

Here's a pic dude. I think it looks real good.

That's awesome. Definitely more aggressive. The front splashguards are a definite must have with that front. I have the splashguards with the appearance package and it just seems to complete the kit (and they only took about 20 mins to unpackage and completely install).

I forgot whose red 8 that is
but it looks great

I still think the whole ms kit would look better

is that guys lawn made of astroturf :confused:
Looks good though.

Nice shoes. The car definately looks better with the whole MS kit, but no matter what that old bumper had to go! I look at it the old one now and I'm so not impressed by it, especially after putting it up against the MS version.

Thats 10000RPM's car.... I took that picture. It now has spray too.... Can you say Zoom Zoom?

As far as the Astro-turf? Its Houston....its always green here.

sorry to bring this back from the dead but can anyone post pics of what the MAzdaspeed front with appearance package sides etc. looks like? Most of the threads I found while searching had dead links/pics so if anyone has anything that would be great. Thanks!

check out good-win-racing.com... i know they have some pictures on there with just the MS front, but i don't think it has the rest of the appearance package pieces. hope that helps.

PS- their car is WB.

checked out their site and didn't see anything, thanks for the info, I'll keep searching as someone somewhere has to have done this set up.

found some so so pics, I'm thinking ms front with ms sides and the factory little back pieces as I still like the factory bumper.
