MS Front Bumper w/ stock fog lights?

Does anyone have any pics of their 8 with the ms front bumper and stock fog lights. Bought my 8 last week and the dealer ordered the ms kit. The kit is in now and I was wondering if I should leave the fog lights off, if it messes with appearance. I am taking the car in for service tue. so I would like to know by then. Thank you.

There are PLENTY of pics. Just do a quick search. I will help out and tell you that if you do want to continue to use the foglights, you'll need to buy the MS foglight brackets.

^what he said. all the pics. just look at some authentic ms pictures and you will see that the stock foglights are usually used, but would require you to buy the bracket for it.

I have the fogs w/ my MS front and I like it. You will need to purchase the brackets as others have said, if you want to keep them. You will also need to decide if you want them behind the mesh, or if you want to cut out circles for them to poke out [if you keep them] I like them behind the mesh personally.

Will the brackets work for other front bumpers? I'm waiting for my buddy club front bumper to arrive and I was wondering if I should also get the MS fog light brackets. Do they connect to the bumper or to part of the car?

Here's a pic of mine.




If you new close-up pics, let me know.

Regarding the appearance issue, it's truly in the eye of the beholder. In San Francisco, there is a lot of fog so it makes it somewhat neccessary for me.

You be the judge.

The MS brackets are bent to be mounted to the bumper itself, NOT the car.......so they will not work for other front bumpers.

There is an entire "Calling All Mazdaspeed" Thread... you can find about 177 posts regarding photos of the kit.

Cool, thanks for the clarification. Looks like I'll have some fog lights for sale soon.

here's one of mine...this should help you.

Oh, and I did trim the mesh around the foglight...since this was the way the installation guide recommended. I'm glad I did it, but it did add a lot of time to the installation.
