Thanks, venom! That front bumper is a replica of a Mazdaspeed and the entire thing is coming off because the fitment is not that great...replacement will be de-badged...

The exhaust is the Borla cat-back...sounds nice but I think I'm going to add the Racing Beat header.

It's hard to see in the photos, but the finish & fitment around the sidemarker recesses is not that nice to look at, of course, I'm also extremely picky about little details...

Thanks, Rod....tires are Atlas Red Hawksthat were just put on by the previous owner a week before I bought the car...they have handled well so far in both wet & dry conditions with "spirited" driving :D

And I suppose you could say it's dropped; it has TEIN basics installed but they're technically not adjustable for ride height...should be lower than factory, I'd assume...
