I've been thinking about this (ms3 lip options suck though) with the right amount of work (sectioning) it could probably work right? I mean it would cost a lot (money or manhours) but is theoretically possible with a plastic welder or something?

ive seen it done before.. but it is ALOT of work! you need the speed 3 hood, fenders, and front bumper (and possibly some other small mods here and there)

For sure it's possible if you have the skills and know-how, or money. I could see it being cheaper to trade up to a speed3, or full front end swap than to custom fit a speed3 bumper

Also need the front cowl and rad support. I think Dave was asking about custom-fitting the bumper to the existing NA hood and fenders though.

Yeah I'm talking just the bumper just sectioned.

I have a lot of silly OEM swaps in my head for Mazda 3s.

IE if I got a speed 3 I'd want to FMIC and swap the other way (reg front on speed3 for sleeperness)

Anyone wants to be baller and flush, these are REAL nice.

Just an MS3 spoiler and lower valence.

Yeah i saw the spoiler, hole-less trunk, valence and speed3 exhaust and figured maybe it was actually a repainted speed...

This.

Yup. Great intro on that article.

I know they're awful, I love it so much.

turbo wheels are so cool!

they look better on older german cars though.
