While they're at it, they should adopt the MS side mirrors as standard equipment. I can't imagine it would cost any more to mass produce.

Also a track package maybe--lower/stiffer springs, stiffer swaybars, louder exhaust, and better tires. It should be available independently of the GT/sunroof/bose stuff also.

Discussed earlier, and yes they do by about 1/2 inch. However, because of the lines of the car, you don't really see it.

How hard is it to do the sideskirts yourself? Are the mazdaspeed sideskirts fiberglass or eurathane.

I would say they are not for the faint of heart, but if you follow the directions that come with the Mazdaspeed ones they are pretty straight forward. Just make sure you double/triple check everything. My buddy and I put mine on and I have no regrets about doing it myself.

Why is it that you can't put a front air dam on 8's with AT? If I were a guy I'm sure I would know this. I want to put some sort of lip spoiler on...not sure what look I'm going for - something awesome like the pics I see on here of ya'lls cars (sorry about the southern drawl). Just wanna make her look a whole lot sweeter than she does now. Any suggestions as to what kind of appearance package/body kit would look good? Seems people think I am a guy driving until they pull up next to me and see that I am 100% female (that is if they can catch up with me). Maybe it's that heavy foot of mine that throws them off? Anyway, thanks for any suggestions......these prices are outrageous....but it pays to look good, right? L8R

I just scored an awesome deal on the front and rear bumper with appearance package add ons . My first thought was to be original and fit full side skirt to go with that . Seems it's been done a lot . Looks great .
Can get ings side skirts here locally for $500 - MS will most likely be double that . But they look pretty similar - any reason why the I shouldn't go with INGs ?
