This Mazdaspeed rear wing was named Type-15th to commemorate the 15th Anniversary of something. Being lazy, I wouldn't have to adjust it nor compromise my rear view. Substantial downforce cannot be anticipated, but I'd like to think it minimizes drag when cruising at higher speeds.
17-inch aluminum wheels by First-Inc. (apparently known as Kosei in the US). Titanium Silver actually looks closer to chocolaty gun-metallic. Washing is easier than stock wheels, even if it goes beyond fashionably dirty.
Yokohama's Advan Neova Tyres that do fine in dry, wet, hot and cold (not ice/snow!) surfaces. Contrary to tyres that typically don't wear easily, grip is not compromised. Kevlar belt inside.
Knight Sports' carbon panel that is glued or screwed onto left side of meter cluster. There isn't enough clearance to be used on left-hand drives. Folks in the UK, Oz or NZ should have no problem. The material can withstand heat, however, it can reflect on the window during the daytime. Can fit two 60mm gauges that are not included with the panel.
Neat little box that wheezes when stepping on the gas pedal. Through a duct that hangs behind the front license plate, air close to 5 degrees Celsius lower than with conventional mushroom-shaped kinds, is sucked in. It may fit fine inside the engine room, but it would be wise to check whether it fits nicely with your bumper. Since then, quite a few other shops have introduced fairly similar equipment.
Knight Sports Aero Bonnet has 4 drafters which have removable covers on the inside. It comes in handy to let 'some' water roll onto a path through the edges. Folks who drive almost every day don't need to worry about it, unless they live by the beach. Lighter than the stock aluminum hood. Also available in a one-piece carbon version.
Clickable rear view of Knight Sports' Rear Diffuser. Mazdaspeed Type-15th Wing above it. There are no gaping holes that can cause air resistance. Part under the license plate is secured with screws to keep flush. Check dimensions, especially around the tail pipe, to avoid complications. Sides behind the rear wheels are intentionally not flush with metal body panel above.
Clickable side view of Mazdaspeed GT-C Front Nose. The acrylic panels covering the turn lights can crack where screwed in too tightly and with overall vibration from movement. May be difficult to install on v4's or earlier without also getting the reinforcement that is not included.
Picture used in Mazdaspeed catalog doesn't show an opening right behind the upper part of the license plate. This one is lower than most designs by Mazdaspeed and so putting duct-tape on the underside of the front tip and edges may prevent minor heartaches. Fairly resilient, but I wouldn't want to push my luck.
Metallic Catalytic Convertor that works just as fine as stock but with less resistance. Diameter of 76.4mm at the ends. I've been told they're made in Germany and often used in cars manufactured there. Imported to Japan by Knight Sports.
Fujita Engineering muffler that is street-legal in Japan. Diameter 80mm, half stainless steel with a tubular 'box.' You'd be surprised how far you can extend a measuring stick into this. Apparently not in production anymore and now replaced by a newer version. This sounds and feels good.
