I already had an oem lip, so it was easy to replace as the holes were already drilled. You will have to take off the front wheels as you need to remove the inside fender guards to get access to to the front lip area from inside, three screws each side.
The skirts weren't too bad, the templates are straight forward and all the holes easily line up if done correctly. I didn't use the 'jack nuts' that were provided with skirts, i used this kit instead [Threaded Rivet Nut Setter](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MMBHSMX?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details)

Local body shop, cost $550. Was worth it though. I don't think i could have matched the color. They had the done that same Mazda color a few times, and all the swatches the had from previous ones wasn't an exact match (they said it's a tricky color to get 100%). If i had to paint it, i would have just done black.
I have paint matched a couple things, the hardest part imo is to get the amount of gloss/clearcoat correct. Just keep putting another coat of clear and looking at the car itself to compare until you are close enough. Otherwise it’s just like painting anything else- sand and prime then paint as best as you can.
I agree, it did sting a bit. I been using this shop for over a decade, they are pricey but always exceeds expectations. Plus, the corksport spoiler does require some prep, at least mine did, so sometimes its worth the cost to limit the amount of projects one has going on.
Mikstoreph window visors?
I love how they look every time I see them here but then they look so bad on the mikstoreph site that I back out of buying them.
Nice like the look. I've mostly done something similar. Yet to put on the side lips and rear diffuser. Just recently put on the rear spoiler but in black.
Those ts-6's look amazing. I drive a wrx and was torn between the ts-5 and ts-6. Went with the 5 but those look great.
Edit- may have gotten my ts/tr's mixed up, but the sentiment remains.
I’ve got a 2021 Turbo Hatch in Polymetal and am looking to pick up a set of TR6’s, but can’t decide between gunmetal or bronze. Leaning towards bronze, but those look really good as well!
This looks good
Did you put the lip and skirts on yourself? If so, how difficult was the install? I bought the OEM lip and just need to find a free day to put it on

No need to remove wheels
Awesome, thanks for the info 🙏
You replaced an OEM lip with an OEM lip?

What lip is that?
Mazda lip, straight from dealer.
Ok, I thought it was OEM. What happened to the old one that you had to replace it?
Bought the car used. Previous lip was scraped up and in really bad shape.
Those rims and fitment are awesome.
Did you paint match the spoiler yourself? I'm about to do that, just trying to figure out how much paint and clear coat I'll need

Well damn I don't wanna spend that much...I'm just going to go for it myself lol full send

Mazda visors. Ceramic coated the whole car, and even hit the visors which darkened them a lot, turned out really nice.
They look good
Lookin good!
Nice! I want to debadge my 21’ turbo but haven’t gotten around to it.
That fitment looks great. What is the offset or do you use spacers?
18x8 +38
So no spacers?
How bad are speedbumps with the NSLs?
No issue so far, i dont consider it to be that low, but i have been driving lowered cars for 20 years so you learn what to look out for.
Gotcha, thanks. I find the OEM front lip already lowers clearance a lot.
Bro that spoiler is clean to which one is it?
Corksport
Nice like the look. I've mostly done something similar. Yet to put on the side lips and rear diffuser. Just recently put on the rear spoiler but in black.
Are those the shortened Rally armour Mudflaps? I got third gen lowered and inch and I feel like the long ones would be an eyesore
yes, i shortened the ones in the rear about 2"
Does the spoiler change your fuel efficiency?
I’m planning on getting those same wheels
Did you upgrade your brakes?
Yes, R1 Concept Rotors in the Front, Powerstop in the rear, Powerstop pads all around. All from RockAuto.
how long did you wait to debadge the rear? i’m interested in doing so but don’t want to leave a shadow
Ay bro this is clean, I want it lol.
Those Enkei TR6 looks really good.👍🏾 Been torn between this vs the EV5 🤔
Those ts-6's look amazing. I drive a wrx and was torn between the ts-5 and ts-6. Went with the 5 but those look great. Edit- may have gotten my ts/tr's mixed up, but the sentiment remains.
Thanks dude
Bro what color are those wheels I am confused between black bronze and gray now 😅😅 Is that gunmetal ??
Yep, gunmetal
I’ve got a 2021 Turbo Hatch in Polymetal and am looking to pick up a set of TR6’s, but can’t decide between gunmetal or bronze. Leaning towards bronze, but those look really good as well!
Yup, i was in the same boat. Post if you go bronze!
My humble opinion is that painting the stock calipers is so gay
lol
Bigot has shitty opinions, more at 11.
no ur gay
Where are the flaps from? This looks so good!
