If I sell my car the front bumper needs to be replaced from being ripped off in the hit and run last summer. It's held on with zip ties. Might as well throw on skirts cause I have them. I won't part the car. Goes as is.

Lots of reasons for a truck. I have an FD if I want to go blast town.

Yes. Bunch of little things that bug me I want to fix before I do. Need to try get the most I can out of it so I can get myself a good towing truck for the FD. If no one wants to pay what I want for it I'll keep it.

I ordered my first aftermarket parts for the 8 today. TurboXs Exhaust, TEin S springs, and Mazdaspeed front strut bar.

I really wanted the HKS Hi power exhaust but everyone is out of stock. I PM'd corksport, but no reply on their single exhaust.

I'm planning on it but I might be too lazy to do the springs myself though.

Thanks Brad for the last minute help.

I installed the Tein S springs today. It took me forever to do them. The drop isn't as low as I wanted (in the rear) but it looks good to me. Handling feels slightly better. I was expecting a much firmer ride but it's hardly stiffer than stock. My wife's 135i stock suspension is much much better than mine :-(

I attached some photos. Just waiting for more stuff to come in this week. I also ordered an OEM style CF hood. I hope it's not too ricey :-)
