Additions to my new Mz3??
 
Im considering adding a rear-wing spoiler and fog lights to my car. I wanted opinions on whether or not this is okay to do via the dealership or should I just leave the car alone? Also, can I get my halogens replaced for leds post-purchase? Price quotes for this, if you have knowledge of them, would be great! Thanks!

do you mean the OEM spoiler. The OEM one costs $400 from dealer but at spoiler it costs $95. Im putting one on, also foglights. Again dealer price foglights is like $500 but at foglights
its much cheaper. What im trying to say is dont buy these things from the dealer only cause they csot way too much, but do have them put those things on.

putting the spoiler on will involve drilling holes in the trunk lid, so I'd say have someone that knows what they're doing install it. The car is already wired for foglights, so all you have to do is install the lights, connect them to the wiring, install the switch (on the turn signal stalk if you go OEM). Should be easy to do.

If you buy a decent center punch and a step drill it's quite easy to install a spoiler. The Mazda factory ones come with a template that you tape down to the decklid to mark the hole locations.

Make sure to clean out any flash in the hole from drilling and seal the edges of the now unpainted hole with touch-up paint.

I installed a spoiler on my friend's 6 and it took maybe 2 hours (only because I really took my time getting the template laid out perfect before drilling.)
