None of these guys on here are going to recommend ANY replica parts lol. Most of them will say "you gotta pay to play" so i been saving up for a traditional real Mazda speed kit. It just looks the best. They are spot on it with fitment though; I bought some 199 side skirts from eBay 2 years ago and we couldn't get them to fit for crap (my friend has a body shop). He said these are the worst side skirts that has ever came through his shop! We trashed them, no point in sending back.

Replicas can be good at times with some extra modifications required, but it is mostly bad on fitments. All i can say is...get the real thing.

your best bet is to post in the WTB for a used mazdaspeed skirt in your color.

with some its hit or miss, with others they are decent, from my research dont get urethane skirts because they will sag, nor will ever have to flex for any reason.

i know the company KBD makes decent fitting mazdaspeed replica front bumpers

all the mazdaspeed replica wings suck dick, but with money can be made to fit better than mazdaspeed.

mazdaspeed replica rears are horrendous from everyone...


just a choice you have to make. remember you need to pay to paint it aswell so add a couple hundred to the price plus that shipping.

I agree 100% even if the kit cost 1500 it would still sell like hot cakes if it actually fit like OEM.

Shine auto project.

anyway, the people who make the molds for extreme dimensions etc etc are blind sweatshop workers.
