Pictures request (blast from the past) 15th Anniversary sides

Before anyone comes out swinging, I'll be the first to admit it... it's kinda ugly but there is something intriguing about it. Unfortunately I havent been able to find any decent pictures of the kit mounted, and from various angles. I'm talking about the sideskirts (which I *assume* are the same as the GTC sides but please correct me if I'm wrong) and the front and rear overfenders that look like they "stick on" with double sided tape

Post em if ya got em -Heath

d cups had them, I think they only look good in black because the color hides how aggressive / out of place they look:

SiKoPaThX: thanks for the link. Those pictures I've seen... Mazda shot it from "select" angles in that shot I'm looking for some non-mazda pictures preferably. Also I've never seen a shot from the other side (no gas flap side) and I'm wondering what it looks like






purerx7: yeah D cups had the GTC or 15th sides. Honestly they look great in black like you mentioned. They do look out of place... and the rest of the 15th kit looks even more out of place, though that may be what mazda was going for, I dont know. Do you think white would bring out the details/shape of the kit also, or hide it? Definitely any other color would exaggerate how odd it looks. If you dont stare DIRECTLY at it, it doesn't look half bad

Here's another car that has them. These are molded in though so they look a little cleaner.

Yeah I remember his car from awhile back now... something about the 15th kit molded in almost looks worse than just stuck on. It's curvy, but lumpy... like a hot chick w/ cellulite

Damn...in that last pic posted...that bumper looks like it fits like ***! Is that all original, is it the angle or is the fitment really just that bad?

I only like it in black..

I don't like the way the vent behind the front wheels stands out on any other color..
