I guess they power coated these wheels because they look gunmetal and that color is not available for this wheel as far as I know. I really like the color...

Thought it was the RP03. Not sure then.

Splitter looks good in the pic but would like more of a close up shot... might be too rice. I like Kris's splitter. Do you have a link to that?

Gotta say that the MS spoiler looks pretty good in these pics...

Scott, be careful with huge splitters, im only on H-Techs and i have to be careful with scraping my MS bumper. I have a buddy club splitter set for the front. I have the sides as well but havent installed them yet.

Thief, You should put the mazda logo back on; promptly.

Also, it's funny how the "REDLINE" zone on the tachometer is at 0 - 2k. It's like "uh oh, you shouldn't drive around that range!" which pretty much means don't idle the car, and don't drive slow, and don't upshift too early and ride a high gear at low speeds "to save fuel" hahahaha... but it's TOTALLY OKAY to drive around 8 - 10k RPM! No redlines there.

Then, the speedometer, same thing.. "130 km/h... careful now.. dangerous speed" probably dangerous cause you're getting your *** ticketed soon or something like that.

Jay,

Your car after you do all that MS stuff will only look good if you actually detailed it completely. I've never ever seen your car clean Everytime I see it, it looks like you just came back from Silent Hill.. all covered in a thin film of dust and fog is what your paint looks like.

prospectjtax taking the PLUNGE!!!

Well looks like I'll be taking the plunge also. Order goes in tomorrow for the rear and sides from Al. Gonna keep an eye on those front bumpers, gotta save for them. If the numbers get too low, will pull the trigger.

Regarding the wing, I have the stock spoiler, no speed wings in silver available, gotta go with white, but will hold off on that too for now.

From now till next spring,

It's not a good idea to get the MS mirrors if you're LHD.

in left hand drive cars, our cars, our passenger aide mirror shows objects farther than they appear, since jdm is right hand drive, their passenger side becomes our driver side, and thus objects appear farther then they are in our driver side. Also the ms mirrors have smaller mirrors, another bitch. Lastly, they are 7 bills shipped from japanparts I believe.
