I still think you should've bought SP23 to save some $$$ and all the troubles...

[Vaku]

I used the $10k I saved to add to my deposit for my unit.
so.
yes and no.

Save yourself money by fitting it yourself too !
Looking good

small update

[Bradesy89]

you bought brand new sideskirts? they are so freaking expensive though.. and you can get better looking aftermarket ones..which is what im doing next year.

[Vaku]

good on you, hope they fit well

id rather $240 OEM new skirts than $100-200 aftermarkets.

[Bradesy89]

hahahahaha 240 OEM.. what a joke mate. i rang specifically about OEM sideskirts the other day.. $1900 painted and fitted. just the skirts.
edit: just realised you're OP.... where the hell did u get them

[Vaku]

no, its not a joke, that's what I paid for them.
and I bought ALL my parts, and had them painted and fitted for less than that quote.
appreciate that you thought it was a joke and all tho.

[Bradesy89]

yeh sorry mate. makes me wonder what the hell tbh.. i got quoted through the mazda parts department of my local mazda.. is that what u went through?

Get friendly with ur local mazda dealer!!!

Theres a RRP price and then theres a .. "ur a good guy" price

[Vaku]

as above, ring around.. and get someone else to paint/fit, not mazda.. you will save 50%+
