What kind of camera did u use btw? Pix look clean!

I like the blue for now, thanks for the idea tho!

I did, but never used it. Tsunami doesn't make a rear bumper. Honestly they rear aero flares match up pretty well imo

I really do like that Tsunami bumper...like an aggressive MS front mixed with INGS+1 bumper without being overdone.

I need to get some pics of mine with my latest additions
Thanks man!
Yeah get some pics and start pic whoring, it's fun!

The Ings wouldnt have flowed with the sharp lines of the Tsunami anyway, this is why Rex decided to part with them,,,
LOL, sorry about the bad fitment...I actually couldn't do a test fit because they didn't fit around my exhaust tips. I guess that was a bad sign right there...lol.

Yeah it's not perfect that's true. I really can't complain too much for something that is aftermarket and not mazdaspeed. Some pics pick up the imperfections more than others for some reason. Angles I guess.

Of course this would require fabbing up insulated tunnels that, at my guess would put them right at the rear passengers foot wells,,,
That would be sick man, altho since this bumper is urethane it turns to mush in the heat; even in direct sunlight for too long. It is nowhere as near as strong as the urethane the oem bumper is made of. Kinda disappointing. I think having the exhaust exit there would obliterate the sides, even if insulated.

It would look bitchen to so side exhaust like that but it would also be a pain to fab a tunnel to tuck the exhaust up in there so you don't rip it off. And ya your side skirts would melt real fast!

Side exit exhaust would leave SO many options for the rear bumper!

yeah the look pretty good really, but I would like to change the look a little
rims are expensive tho, lol.
I will probably wait until I need new tires

As far as my next mod, I have an INGS +1 spoiler sitting in my garage waiting to be prepped and painted.
