Man, if that was a few more inches bigger, that would look soo sweet, but it really is small. You know what they say about guys with small wind splitters?

To mount the splitter, you simply drill holes into your bumper, and use the hardware supplied to install it. It's easy as pie, and the instructions are really clear.

As for functionality, I can swear that above 120KPH the car feels more stable (steering wise) than it did before. Maybe it alters the airflow under the car near the tires?

Definitly a worthwile mod...

Maxx

It looks like the one that I've seen on the MP3. Is it the same?

I like the look.

Question: If you have the bra does it fit over it?

Thanks

Yes, it's the MP3 / Mazdaspeed one... If you have a bra, first, eeew! Second, why would you want to fit it underneath, thus hiding it?

Just loking about the bra thing. As ugly as they are, they do keep the rocks off...

I'd take that back! j/k

I have the same MP3 splitter as you, it looks really nice. The only thing I did to it was drill some extra holes and extend it out furthur so it can be seen more and just enough so the holes can't be seen.

But check out this site canadian site www.mpsport.net

Where'd you get that info from? I don't doubt they're installed at the dealer, but I do doubt Mazda would ever put them on at the factory for the P5's... It's a MP3 / MSP thing. Not even the eurpoean SP20's, etc have them.

Don't bother. It won't fit over the WW kit to my knowledge anyways. The lip on the WW kit is more agressive than the MP3 and is shaped differently. The one on their car doesn't look much like mine, but they might have heat molded it or something?
