Difference Between Mazda 3 and Mazdaspeed FB?

[RODSCALIP5]

Aside from the obvious, is the any difference in width? Basically I want to see if I could fit this:

Scuttlebutt says the Mazdaspeed3 has wider fenders, so the front bumper should be different, as well.

Not to mention the completely different upper grille/hood area...The MS3 has a setup more like the regular sedan's, and less like the regular hatchback...

On regular 3 hatches, the upper grill is part of the hood, whereas on the regular 3 sedan and MS3 it's all part of the bumper...

Well, judging by his link, I'm to assume he's more concerned with the lower contour of the front bumper cover, which the grill shouldn't affect.

That thing looks like a glorified Home Depot Lip - just my $.02 in case you can't make it work. You'll have a cheaper alternative

Wow. My face is red...

I wasn't even keen to the fact that he was referring to only the lip...I just quickly looked at the link and assumed he was talking about the bumper itself(lol2).

Oops.

All's forgiven, Nintendo1.

Thanks for the replies. Yeah, it is cheaper to go the HD rout, but I am getting a pretty good price on this one.

JDM Home Depot lip!

They got Home Depots in Japan?

Is that the same one? If it is, I will be buying it for sure. Maybe Dg can make a CF copy of it......

 

[P2K]

Yes, it's the same one. Made by Stage21. They have another design too, a smaller version of the DG lip. I make sure I stay "in the know" when it comes to aftermarket Mazda stuff. Especially when it's JDM.

 

[RODSCALIP5]

Yeah, they actually have 3 different ones. Thanks for the picture, I was hoping it would fit. Looks like Ill be buying this tomorrow.

I was thinking of getting one myself. I'm right around the corner from you, stationed in Korea. Do you have any contact info? I might just hop a flight and snatch one up. Thanks.

LOL! Korea, where at? Have you checked out upgarage.com?

Camp Carroll, 30 minutes north of Deagu. Haven't heard of upgarage, but I just checked it out. Nice site, thanks. I wish I was in Japan. I'm tired of seeing Hyundais, Kias, and Deawoos all the damn time. The Genesis Coupe is alright though.

LOL! I've been to Pohang, Osan, Seoul and the DMZ, all on one deployment. I liked Korea, but I dont live there so it's different.
