I see now... that's cool! I want to see pics once it's all painted.

Pics will be up as soon as I get it all installed... hopefully within a week or two. And everything comes pre-painted in the factory color, so I won't need to paint anything. :D

The other thought I had was going with the Autoexe rear. I liked the all painted look but I'm debating how this would look with the MS skirts.

I like the AutoExe rear too, but decided the $160 rear flares would do me for now, as opposed to the $800 AutoExe rear.

I had them in about a week. Rosenthal is awesome! (So is Trussville, BTW)

UPDATE: Got my side sills today, and the "lip" is the exact same Titanium grey as the rest of the car. (Phew!)

Omicron -- I also got my MazdaSpeed sideskirts yesterday -- the bottom and bottom lip on mine are a darker grey -- looks great! -- wonder why yours isn't 2 toned like all the other MazdaSpeed body parts

does the darker grey match the plastic in the stock rear bumper at all??

It would be really cool if the bottom lip was carbon fiber... rotary extreme has a set like that but the rest is fiberglass which I don't want and they cost more then the MS ones... bah

You can order the Mazdaspeed parts just primered, you don't have to get the painted versions

But when you order them primered you still get the bottom part in the dark grey (that is standard)

Yah know, I may have spoken too soon. I looked again today, and the lip *may* be darker after all. Maybe the garage light threw me. However, it is SO close to the Titanium so as not to be a problem... I think...

We'll see TUESDAY 3/9, when I get this all installed. :D

Looks great Shocka! But, what is the "burnout kit?"

Welp, we can sure do the beer, but the install help isn't needed any more. Got a friend with a shop who's going to install these parts, and my Pirelli 245/40-18s all at once, next Tuesday. :D

Ok, here it is, the first batch of pics. Sorry there's no "art" to them and the light is poor, but I got home too late to do better. Will take some nicer shots later on. Anyway, enjoy!
