I know what would make this car that much sweeter- an authentic, Ti Grey Mazdaspeed front bumper, which I happen to be selling! (shameless plug 
). Really, though. That fitment is awful!
Either way, that's a really clean install. I'm not a fan of changing the heart of the RX name, but at least it was done right

I ended up trading an audi a3 for it.
The fuel gauge works, has an aftermarket tach in the factory spot. Have a wideband, oil pressure, and water temp gauge.
Haha it is a replica, and yea i only have it on with 4 zipties right now. Just wanted to get in on fast to see how it would look.

Every shop I've called so for to paint and install authentic Mazdaspeed sideskirts wanted at least $400-500... dealership wanted $500 just to install.

Please take the bumper off. That thing is a disgrace. No offense to you, the original owner had no respect. Mazdaspeed replica bumper, probably extreme dimensions/carbon creations/duraflex, which is all the same **** by the same **** company. Personally, I'd ask the original owner for the OEM bumpers back. Otherwise you're looking at a lot of cash to get decent bumpers on there.
Other than that it looks nice interested in hearing how it runs!
