As for the mazdaspeed ppf. Given that it touts a "massive" increase in stiffness of an "insane" 10%, weighs in at just about "exactly" what the stock one weighs in at... I dont know, maybe that "extra" stiffness is from the powdercoating? As far as i'm concerned, it is just a big joke. A big $600 joke. Ouch mazdaspeed. I say that you get yours low temp powdercoated red and then scribble on a piece of tape "mazdaspeed" and no one will no the difference save maybe strange parts collector people.

I believe one of the vendors was already doing this, don't remember which one but I remember reading that they got caught.

I'm not looking to duplicate the MS PPF bling per say....just hate putting rusty parts back on my car.

That would be SR motorsports that was pulling that shady move, I think they were caught doing other shady things as well.
