does the grille come painted? is it for the i model or the s model?

 

[threemod]

Can we get a weight for the flywheel? I don't see why anyone would buy a $400 "lightweight" flywheel without knowing how much lighter it is over stock (or atleast more information that "faster revs and faster acceleration"). I know even the Mazdaspeed catalog doesn't have any details, but maybe a vendor could squeeze this info directly out of Mazda.
ed: It might help your sales if you tell what models can use the grille and bumper. I know the 5-door and 4-door have different front ends, and the grilles for the "s" and "i" are different sizes as well.

the grille does not come painted, it is for the S unless you buy the S hood for the I, IIRC

i have heard from Mazda these flywheels are lighter than 13 pounds.

Good to hear
(what was the protege one anyways...like 21...and MS 19, right? or am i crazy)

ford probe/mx6 was 21 lbs, the protege/626 was 19 lbs, the msp was 17 lbs (i think) and the mazda motorsports flywheel was 15 lbs.

umm... if you're talking about the sedan, which i assume you are since there is no i model of the hatch, the hood has nothing to do with the fitment of the grille.

just to clarify: the grille is for s model sedan, correct?

what i meant is that according to the mazda rep i work with the grille is designed for the S hatchback hood. i am aware there is no I hatchback. to clarify I have been told that the hood from the S hatch back (where it bulges up instead of down) would be needed for this grille.

 

[rum]

oh, thats too bad.

What are the chances of Mazdaspeed showing the 3S sedans some love and producing Mazdaspeed bumpers and grilles for our cars?
