Would you happen to have a pic, sir? Still on the fence.

Those hobo universal lips will add inconsistent waves & ruin the perfect kodo lines & curves, sir. IMO.

I already saw a picture. It's functional, but you're right, I'm not sure if it will be the best design-wise.

Here's a nice review of the 2018 Mazda3 2.0 R. The comparison with the 1.5 variant when it comes to overtaking power is quite interesting:

218 Mazda 3 2. R Sedan Review (With Video) – Go Flat Out

Off the line, the Mazda 3 2.0 R is quick, but in overtaking situations, the Mazda 3 2.0 R unfortunately doesn’t feel like a car with a 2-liter engine. While it is not by any means slow or underpowered, the transmission somewhat neuters the experience, probably how the automatic transmission is calibrated in this 2.0 R variant. The 1.5 V feels a bit punchier, thanks to its transmission being more willing to downshift when overtaking.

Under my hands, the Mazda 3 2.0 R netted a fuel consumption of 10.3 km/l, which is about par for the course when it comes to sedans with a 2-liter engine. This has been achieved through trips to Clark, Pagsanjan, and other places that isn’t EDSA, especially since I live in the South.

I was able to find one from amazon.co.jp site, just search for AEROGUARD2-BK

I'll probably buy one on my next visit to Tokyo next year.

Anyone solved the clanking sound from the front suspension yet? Hindi ko mahanap! [emoji22]

remove the front tires. look at the 2 lower arm bushings. the back might have a tear na. 99% of fwd cars have this design and inherently requires maintenance repairs.

I don't think he's stepping on the gas pedal enough. [emoji23] Besides he can downshift anytime on the 2.0.
