Apologies to the OP for going a little off-topic but that's interesting.^
I've seen the pictures of the MS PPFs next to the stock ones. IIRC someone even confirmed that they weighed the same. Always thought that was MAZDA'S big practical joke and a marketing coup.
No offense to Mr. Garfinkle, but can anyone else confirm and make me feel like an idiot for passing up a deal on a MS PPF for next to nothing a while back?
