Well, hopefully, in the next month or so I will be getting a Mazda 6 sedan. My choice of colors will be either the Silver or Steel Grey. I will want the 17" wheels for sure. The problem I'm having is with the spoiler and ground fx: I don't know if I want them or not.

I've seen the steel grey in person with the spoiler/ground fx and it looked pretty good. Just don't know if I want the cliched "boy racer" looks. I saw another one without the spoiler/ground fx and it just didn't stand out as much. *Although*, it did not have the 17" wheels, just the 16"s.

So, what are your opinions on this and why?

Personally, I think the sport kit & wing give it enough of a sporty look, without going over the edge into ricer territory. For example, I was at an Audi dealer yesterday shopping for an A4 convertible for my father, and all the salesman were complimenting me on my car as soon as I showed up.

Oh, and my vote is for the Steel grey, but that's just my opinion.

I like the M6 better with the wing... but even better with the rear lip spoiler. :hoho

I think the car looks better with the wing...

I originally liked the gfx but thought the spoiler was a bit too much. But it's grown on me and now that I own one, I wouldn't buy one without the package. It looks agressive yet not over the top. Certainly gives it a nice edge in the looks department over most other sedans. But if you don't like flashy, the plain 6 sedan looks good too

But seriously, how can you NOT love this (Warning: Shameless whoring-out of my vehicle follows):

:love

Sweet but why are your plates made out of paper?

For the first time I like the red lights. Looks good on a sliver car. No if they didn't bulge it would be even nicer

That is a temporary license plate you get here from the dealer when you buy a car. The real thing arrives in the mail a few weeks later. I haven't got mine yet.

Does anyone have pics of the car with the lip spoiler?

I'm gonna vote for it. I usually don't like fx packages, but the '6 does it without being gaudy or looking like tacked-on plastic. Well, maybe a little gaudy. But it's done well.

The coolest thing about the sport package is that the look is NOT an add on. It is actually styled to look that way. The front and rear pieces are not add ons or glued on, they are designed to look like that. There is a Mazda kit that 'adds' the front lip and rear valance along with the lip spoiler but those distinctly look "added on".

BTW, I too would like to see a 6 with sport package but with the smaller lip spoiler.
That might be real sharp. As of now, I don't think you can order a sport package with no spoiler, can you?

I remember reading about someone that had the dealer replace the trunk lid so as not to have the rear wing... looked pretty sweet. I'd still much rather have a lip spoiler though.

There were some folks asking about pictures with the lip spoiler...

If you go to Mazda Japan's "build it yourself" page, you can configure the car with just the lip spoiler. Not a great image, but it gives you an idea...

I'd originally voted with spoiler & ground fx, but I'd like to change that now.

After driving one and getting in and out, etc., the other night, I noticed that my jeans rubbed on the side skirting every time. Which, if it's nasty weather out (rain, snowy, etc.); that skirting is going to get dirty, and my clothes will also get dirty. And thinking long-term, I'd rather not have that hassle, as I plan to keep my 6 (when I get it) for as long as I can - I've been driving my current car for 10 years if that's any indication.

So now, my vote is FOR the Spoiler, but NOT the ground fx. They still look nice like that.

I, too, would also like to see some decent pictures of some 6's, with and without Sport Package, that have the Lip Spoiler. Havent' seen any yet, and that Japan garage thing doesn't give you that good a looksee.

Wow, that's a pretty cool site...you can zoom but it's still tough to get an overall idea of the parts.
