i was a little worried about that myself. but i like it so far. and i think it will look much nicer with the black wheels that will match. we'll see when they come in and i get some rubber mounted on them!

I don't have any pics of the engine bay, but all I have is a Yellow Top and Mazdaspeed CAI... Trunk has Zenclosures box w/ two MTX subs...

Still planning on Appearance Package front lip, and possibly clear corners... Also thinking about exhaust.
