im debating on if i should get the whole mazdaspeed front or just the grill, what would you do?

 

for me it would depend on do i want the extra horsepower or do i want the looks now if i didnt have alot of money i would go for just the grill but if i had money i would go for the whole thing no doubt about it

 

damn, i think it would be expensive to get the whole thing, cuz don't they have to paint it?, also if i just got the grill they would probley have to cut into the front and im not sure if that would be a good idea

 

yea because the mspeed 3 has a diffrent front end i think

 

what kind of 'extra horsepower' are you getting from a new front bumper?

 

sorry i miss understood the question so you can scrath what i said but isnt the whole front of speed3 diffrent then the 3 and both things would be expensive because ur going to have to modify both of them

 

The Mazdaspeed front/rear fascias available currently for the Mazda3 are different than the Speed3 front/rear fascias (a little)

They do go on a standard 3 just fine. Mazda factory accessories are ordered in body color and come pre-painted to match your factory finish. (at least that's how my body kit came.)

I believe the grille that is available works on the 3s, but not the 3i. (Sorry but I don't know the Canadian trim levels to differentiate, the i is the base the s is the high level in NA.)

 

what do you think the total price would be for just the grill and installation? does the dealer put it in or would you have to go to a body shop?

 

I would just install the grille myself. It's very simple.

Remove the (2) screws on the top of the grille, then look at the backside of the grille, there should be 4 plastic tabs going through the grille from the fascia along the bottom edge of the grille, disengage these clips and the grille should pop out.
