New Front Aero Flares

[Caz]

I found this on mazda3forums.
They are the front areo flares from corolla typeS and can fit both the hatch and sedan.
What does everyone think?

I think it looks pretty good.

[Caz]

I really like it.
The current aero flares from mazda are nice, but I want something a little more aggresive looking.

[Kevin@nextmod]

It looks nice in the front but its slightly larger then the side skirt. Looks kinda off from the side. But overall I\'m surprised that it actually fits.

[bluntman]

I was going to ask the poster who manufactured those aero flares. I really like them. I\'d be willing to swap out my current aero flares for those ones.

[Cardinal Fang]

Wow!

I do like them.

[DrunknFoo]

Looks ok, it gives the car a more aggressive feel, but ya, the car need a set of side skirts to accompany it, then a rear skirt...

[civiclad]

Very nice!

from the front wheel to the lower grill, under the fog lights..

[chinsterr]

its looks o.k.

the hatch looks so much like the matrix already. Do we really want to add a toyota part to our cars ? ***haha, i have a sedan

Personal Preference: wait for a nice lip and/or kit to come out **fingers crossed**

Not that poke stuff, you can add flares to bumpers as well.

[Zaku_4]

wow

i like it alot. then again.. lol i already kind of scratched the shit out of the lower part of my front bumper more than 5 times lol...

how much would that cost to do anyways?

i can see it now:

pulling infront of a toyota dealership asking for corolla s flares for your mazda 3 XD

[Caz]

I can only find the left and right sides sold separatly.
The cheapest I saw was on ebay for $124 each side plus shipping and duty.
I can\'t find an aftermarket replica kit.

Does anyone have connections @ Toyota?

Why not, when I was at Subaru/Suzuki I had guys buying Aerio stubbies from me.

The Corolla pieces are $390 per side! No thanks.

Joe,

Just for comparison sake, how much are the OEM Mazda3 flares?

Please don\'t answer this question. This will just reinforce the notion that I have more money than brains. :D ($500 a pair, front and rear). D\'oh!

On the mazda.ca it says that the fronts are $550. Where did you get them?

[RedRaptor]

Group Buy from FLIPSPEED on the Front Aero Flares?

They use to be under $500 when they first came out.

haha, but people knew u and u knew people that came in the 3 came to buy stubbies. i dont think any toyota people know why we would come=p.

btw i know u sold stubbies, i have one of the oens from your place =D

[Domokun]

I thinks the flares look hot.

I was at Richmond Hill Toyota the other day to get a pricing on the flares, $250 each side and painted to whatever colour the Corrolla comes in.

Damn expensive I\'d say! :(

[SABIO]

I like it..

No one is going to buy them though, No one wanted in on the Valiant Lip buy... and this costs more!

+1

i also think the part in the inside front where the flares flow into the front bumper doesn\'t really match the lines of the 3...just my take..

I wish I had my car when that group buy went down. I would have bought one for sure.

[mazdaxela]

because that consider as TRD parts, that\'s why it\'s so expensive.

[Candyman]

I have a friend who works for Toyota Canada, I\'ll ask him if he could get them & for how much.
