It didn't have OEM mudflaps but the car had really wide fenders and would get destroyed by road debris until I put the Rally Armors on. They cover a lot more surface area and look much better than most OEM mudflaps too.Thanks. Did you upgrade from OEM mudflaps to Rally Armor mudflaps to see an improvement in your previous car?
I just checked it out on MazdaUSA and call me crazy, but the spoiler doesn't look any different than the stock one to me. Do they not have a picture of the aero spoiler or is the difference between the 2 minuscule?
Aero kit (+ larger rear spoiler) is available separately on mazdausa.com.
Pricing is also published.
Just FYI.
I plan to do tinting next week. found a local shop with good review on Yelp.
Will post pictures later.
In CA, 70% VLT on front windows, no rules on rear windows.
4 inch top tinting allowed on windshield.
I spoke with mazda corp and they told me it will be slightly larger and has a slight angle to give it a more aggressive look. Check out the video, you can see the spoiler there, along with the aero kit.

I'm pretty sure NO tint is allowed on the front windows in California unless it's clear/transparent.
From California Highway Patrol's website:
Can I put after-market tinting on the windows of my vehicle?
The main requirements for legal window tinting in California are:
The windshield and front driver's side and passenger's side windows cannot receive any aftermarket tinting.
If the rear window of a vehicle is tinted, the vehicle must have outside rearview mirrors on both sides.
The law prohibits any person from driving any motor vehicle with any object or material placed, displayed, installed, affixed, or applied upon the windshield or side or rear windows, with certain limited exceptions.
However, legislation signed into law effective January 1, 1999, exempts from the above prohibition specified clear, colorless, and transparent material that is installed, affixed, or applied to the front driver and passenger side windows for the specific purpose of reducing ultraviolet rays. If, as, or when this material becomes torn, bubbled or otherwise worn, it must be removed or replaced.
Thanks! The funny thing is I watched that video before and didn't even notice the spoiler was different. It's subtle in the video but the difference probably looks more dramatic in person. Make sure you post lots of pics when you get the spoiler on!
