SEMA & Mazdaspeed

[RHAGEL]

Here is a picture that I got from Road & Track's website. It was taken at SEMA displaying the Mazdaspeed accessories available. Looks pretty crappy to me, I hope the MS3 doesn't look this way. I don't like the way the wheels look on the car, maybe if they were 18's.

it has a lowered stance (so i would assume the mazda speed coilovers) as well as the mazdaspeed front clip/grill and side skirts... those wheels aren't bad... not my style but its nice to see a change from the 5 spoke regardless...

doesn't do a thing for me at all.

That's what I was thinking. It's just not bold enough for me. I guess the wheels aren't that bad, I just think they could have done better.

 

[mobomelter]

i'd buy those wheels. but then again i'm not too picky.

 

[ZoomVT]

it doesnt do anything for me either. they should have used a sedan.
bleh

 

[mobomelter]

eh there are too many sedans on the road. its about time some company payed attention to hatchbacks.

i was there. it looks better in person. the black pillars on the doors are carbon fiber and say MAZDASPEED on them

The MS RX-8 does the same thing. It looks pretty good. I wonder if we can buy the CF overlay for the B-Pillar.

yeah, from the dealer and im sure its around $200

Yeah... same as every other damn accessory.

Anyway... I like the car. (shrug)

Thats actually not too bad.

when i had my rx-8, i was looking through the catalog and everytime i would price something, it was outrageous. for example:

ms rx-8 front bumper: $1500
ms rx-8 cf strut bar: $300
ms rx-8 adjustable spoiler: $900
ms rx-8 wheels: $1500/each (yes, EACH)

Yeah, those prices are pretty rediculous. At least there are places like showcase Mazda that are willing to sell at a little more reasonable price. I think most of the aftermarket OEM stuff is expensive. STI, Nismo and others aren't any better. I wonder what the thoughts are behind the pricing of their products. They would certainly sell more if they are less expensive.
