MazdaSpeed Rear Plastic
 

I was hoping to get some input from you guy's. A young kid rear-ended me cracking the rear plastic on my 3hatch. I found out that I can get the Speed3 plastic ,have it painted and installed for the same price. What would you all do? Also I was woundering if the side skirts on the Speed were the same as the S-Touring? Tell me what you think !

It's hard to believe that no one has an opinion on this !! Cars going in the shop the 17th of this month. I guess I'll roll the dice []....... [] .......

From Mazda's website, it looks like the bumper covers are very similar, if not identical with the exception of the black plastic insert. I can't say for sure, but seems to me it would bolt up ok. The side skirts also appear to be the same. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, though. I do know, however, that the front fascias on the 3S vs the Speed3 are different, as the Speed3 hood design and front fender seams are unique. Just my $0.02
