why?
All he's done is add unnecessary weight to the car. How does that make the car faster?

Jedi, I'm surprised you didn't post this one. It's one of your own.



This guy's kit looked like it was made out of play-doh and had so much white overspray it could crashed into a Sherwin-Williams. Plus the foglights aren't symetric and the grills are made of gutter-guard.

I was soooo tired, it completely slipped my mind!! Thanks though.

- Look at the fitment of the side skirt on the driver's side. (look directly below the mirror) The fitment was off SO MUCH, I was able to stick my entire finger in there. (between car and Side skirt)

- Look closely at the bracket holding the mirror to the car. Looks like someone SANDED it and never finished the project!

-Also, (not pictured) were the back of the BRAKE PADS that were 'finger painted' red.

That car was a piece of work...

That guy is in this month's Mazda Sport magazine. It's pretty rice but he autocrosses with it. I didn't recognize it at first until I saw that skull on the hitch which he apperently tows his equipment to the races.
