Looking Into Speed

[b e z]

^^ this. When I bought my 08.5 I looked at both and it was a not a question that the GT Trim was the way to go. The HID's, Rainsense wipers (which I've had before) and the interior trim were worth it.

The Alacantara trim in the interior came standard with every ms3 from 08.5-09 not just specific for the gt model. But the other stuff is gt specific.

Mine came with general tires so they are not the stock ones, i have a 7 warranty with the car so i want to get a mazdaspeed one so i dont void it..and is the turbosmart a direct bolt on?

Im not sure if you are talking about putting tires on your car that come stock on other ms3's because you are afraid of voiding warrenty, but if you are it doesnt matter what tires you have. Id leave what you have on unless they are crappy.

That's incorrect. The .08.5-09 MS3 Sport models have cloth inserts...not Alcantara:

lol yep my bad i was thinking how they changed the piano black inserts not about the actual inserts on the seats.........feel like a tard.

Every time I see the alcantara inserts I get angry. I originally looked at a 08.5 MS3 with the alcantara and piano black inserts. They ended up selling that car and had to bring one in for me. Of course it was an '08 with the silver inserts

I took it anyway and love it the same
