2001 es conv to 2003.5 mazdaspeed!! finally done!

maybe they did, but i clearly remember here in canada u could tell the difference between an msp and the es just by looking at the rear lights
 
yeah I know, every single MSP I've seen has the pink tails. That pic he posted might have been someone who switched them to non-msp lights

I don't think many people would do that just to get rid of the pink.

you'd be surprised. there used to be threads about those that wanted to trade.

but like I stated before, they could have changed it for the 03.5. But I know for a fact prior to that it was pink.
 
here, i hope this shows it

Bala de plata's sig shows the difference, and I compared my tails to a yellow 03.5 two weeks ago. Depending on the light, it can be hard to tell by itself though.

So basically it would be pretty stupid to change them out.

Well that's not the point I was making, I was just confirming that they are different. I like the slight difference and was thinking about buying a set from another user here, but I had to keep hounding them for pictures and eventually just gave up :(
 
If its what you like just not big enough of a difference for me. I like the all red lights with the white at the bottom on protgegarage. Think they would look good with the white part smoked out. Im starting to sound like im trying to help Ken out I keep mentioning these parts I want off his site lol.
 
I know the ones you are talking of, they are the only aftermarket tails I would put on my car if I was going to.

I think it's worth getting the clear ones. It might be hard to tell in a bad picture but in a good one and especially in person it is noticeable. I dont know what mazda was thinking about using the pink. damn crackheads.
 
i liked the body kit on the 2003.5 ever since i saw it! i think going with mazda products as far as the bodykits go is better because you know what you are getting and it will fit. i like the buddy club2kit but its fiberglass and im scared of that s***, one bump into the curb and your done. the wings west kit was nice but i wasnt too sure about the little wings on the bumper and side skirts. i think the msp 03.5 looked best thats why i got it. i like it and get alot of complements on it.......as far as the tail lights go, i think it could just be the tint in the bulbs are different its not worth buying new lights.
 
Mikeski can you take some more pictures possibly of the back and some from the front. I have the 03 rear lip also and was kinda thinking of the 3.5 wing. 1 more thing everyone forgot about the body color bar on the grill lol I prob wont paint mine either.

It looks GREAT!!! Thats for sure!!

BUT Why do you want people to think its a MSP? I mean removing the ES sticker and going out of your way to make it apear as a MSP, & not a Tuned ES is kinda lame.

Be proud of your ES and How you have tuned it.


because it is fun, here is my es:

the es stickers just look bad their imo. plus it is fun haveing people have no clue what kind of car you are driving.

looks good mikeski, did you change the splash guards as well?
