s4 aerodynamic body pieces

i was wondering if there was an online store that sold the aerodynamic pieces that went on the s4 sport models? i searched mazdatrix and the local junkyards and havent found any.

Are you looking for stock parts or aftermarket parts? Of all the aftermarket body kits out there, I haven't heard of any vendor who has spent the time or money to win tunnel test there parts to show concrete numbers as a far as an improvement in drag coefficient. The stock FC has a drag coefficient of .31 and the sport model is .29 from what Mazda has published.

there is a place in sacramento, california called mazda dismantlers....... give them a try, they have had everything ive ever needed....

although i love the drag coefficient #'s, id still ditch the ugly sport wing for the more sportier one! i do love the splitters right in front of the rear wheels.... my 88 gtu had them, gave it a little something extra!! good luck on your search

yeah, I've got the aero package on my TII and I think it's one of the subtle things that make my car look good.

Yeah, they are on recycle road in Rancho Cordova- used to live within 15 mi of them. Wish I still did sometimes...

Yeah I am going over this weekend to get a fender from them. easiest place to get body parts.

The only draw back with getting the Aero package parts from a junkyard is that the parts tend to be all bent and rusty. Being on the bottom of the car, they tend to take a lot of abuse over the years.

These are soft rubberized parts as the rear spoilers are made of...

don't think you'll be able to copy them in alum.

The only alum part of the S4 aero kit was the part that went around the oil pan.

the S4 one drops the drag Cd to .29, instead of the .31/.32 of a GXL
