Damn, when you put it that way, the MS kit doesn't seem so bad...the appearance package doesn't even need to be shipped from Japan.

I think the appearance pkg is about 970 or so just shy of 1000. I believe the spoiler is about 355 or so. If I remember right there's a website devoted to spoilers where you can get it much cheaper.

Curious... wouldn't it be easy to put on the MS stuff if even you bought the Mazda factory accessories -- note: without the rear spoiler?
Maybe I should have asked this before I bought mine. But in any event, I did not get the rear spoiler.
As a side note, I like the 8 stock -- a lot. But after seeing some pics with certain accessories (specifically the rear and side aero flares, and front air-dam) I had to have it. I have the stock red GT as my Win XP background and everytime my girlfriend sees it she tells me she thinks "my car looks much better". I don't think she even knows what a spoiler is lol
I also thought that getting the 3yr accessory warranty at time-of-purchase was worth it.

I'm starting to like the combo idea more and more. That Virtual Garage thing over at Mazda Japan rocks! Right now I'm liking the aero package air damn w/ rotary accents and the Mazdaspeed spoiler and side skirts. I think the Mazdaspeed mirrors look good, but if they're don't even have the electric motors....lame!

You could also do a combination as well. I got the the Mazda Appearance Package and spoiler but also ordered the Mazda Speed Side Flares.

Note: this is Canada related (does it make a diff? dunno).
When I bought the car, having the accessories put on at delivery meant that they were covered under the normal 3 year car warranty. If I had them put on later, they were covered under a 1 year warranty.

Just got my appearance package installed by the dealer. It took them two days to do it. They said the side flares were difficult to install. The air dam was a piece of cake.

I installed the front air dam on my car yesterday and it wasn't that bad. It took a couple hours and you have to drill 6 holes. That was the worst part. I dont like to drill into my car! The directions show to remove the entire front bumper. Screw that! I just started from underneath.

Appearance Package Self Install - What tools needed?
I have seen the other threads that discuss self installing the front air dam, side aero flares, and rear aero flares; however, I was wondering if there are any special tools or drill bits need to do it.
What problems or setbacks are in store for me so I can prepare myself for them?
Any information will be helpful.
Please post or email me: tadams14@comcast.net
