wow, this thread is a perfect example of what happens when people DON'T read the FAQ or search... almost a month later everyone is still running around going "where can I find one?"
After failing to find any info in the FAQ and a search for 'MSP AND Spolier', I managed to find one person say that the MP3 wing will fit in the default holes when I conducted a search for 'MP3 AND Spolier'. There seems to be a lot of talk about this subject, but very rarely a convincing YES, although people have said they've done it, but don't explain if it was an exact match.

HOWEVER, after talking to a person who is a member in our community and works at Mazda, He said, " The spolier is not an exact fit. The holes are set further in on the MSP and the MP3. You would have to fill and paint the holes left by the ES spoiler. Sorry."

I'm Very confused, I guess, someone should order the damn thing, try to fit it before they paint it, and see for themselves and then let everyone else know!

fromw hat i have heard. and seen the holes are the same you jsut dont have the middle hole drilled. if you want a direct fit go to WW and get the MP3 look alike . it is the same but without the middle pedestal. arul.
do a search for "sonabi" on ebay for a user name. that is who i got mine through and he was an excellent seller.

I just measured the holes on an ES and a Mazdaspeed and they are both the same. Both cars have the spoiler holes drilled in the same location so it looks like all you would have to do is drill holes for the center support and bolt it on.

Excellent....It sounds as though we have an exact answer to our question. The spoiler will match, but you must drill the two middle mounting holes. I'll be doing this mod once the weather gets wamer. My hands are still froxzen from installing my amp yesterday (10 degrees).

At last a real answer !!! Thanks ukroadracer !!!

By the way... do you think the Replica of the MP3 wing that ProCarParts.com is selling is a good one ? They sell it for 139$ ! Thats pretty cheap I think ...

Thanks

Thumbs up

There is only one hole needing to be drilled in the center.
