I like splitters that run all the way across the front and not just the corners of the car. I think it would look cool with splitter rods.

They look good on certain kits. I say leave the MS alone.

the MS kit does give the look that it has splitters already, but it you want it, you should get a one piece to protect the front as well.

not sure about where is a good place to buy them, but i've seen some good ones on www.buddyclub2.com. i've searched plenty of sites looking for splitters and i think look the best. the difficult thing about buying rolled edge splitters is that you cannot cut them for a perfect fit for the bumper like you can the flat splitters.

i think they will look nice with the mazdaspeed kit. but if you get it for the front might as well get the carbon fiber piece that goes under the sideskirt too.... just thinking that it might match better.
