Anyone who’s attempted to switch out the OEM parts for carbon fibre ones will tell you there will be some sorting out to do with them. Even if you went with the reputable aftermarket tuners everyone knows. If it didn’t come from the factory, you will need to fiddle with it and there’s a high probability it will never fit well. Or at least not as close to what a factory part would fit.

This being said, anything offered by Feed, Panspeed or RE Amiemaya has been pretty good. You might have to fiddle with it, but nowhere near as bad as you would have to from a replica shop.
You want to guaranteed fit and finish, Mazdaspeed is the only way. Designed and supported by the factory.
