crap pics of the new kit
 
hey guys--

here's the fruit of my labors over the past few weeks. needed some pro help on some bits but was able to get most of it done myself.
  • Mazdaspeed Rear Underspoiler
  • Mazdaspeed Wing
  • Mazdaspeed Brake Pads
  • Enkei RPF1s (courtesy of tiltmode43)
  • Debadged Trunk

the rear spoiler is a pain because the oem one scratches the trunk lid baaad. like down to the metal bad. i had that repainted so it looks nice and clean.

the rear underspoiler is a pain to install as well. you have to cut off most of the black rear bumper bit and trimming and fitting is difficult (or at least for a noob like me). i used a dremel though which made the cutting part easy.

brakes were easy using zumn's diy (i know what you're thinking, but it really is good)

anyway, on to the pics. they're weird looking cause they were too dark and i quickly lightened them:

so i'm using the rpf1s as track wheels and these enkeis for daily driving. what do you think?

Nice man...I'd ride the Enkei's all day, everyday. SS ftw.

Looks great man, RPF1's with the MS kit just always looks so clean :)

shaunv74 06-09-2009 11:44 AM

Dondo, Looking good! Just need a little more drop. BTW how is the car running?

Ross_Dawg 06-09-2009 12:58 PM

looks hawt man... lose the strakes though ;)

shaunv74 06-09-2009 01:03 PM

Are you going to go B-stock or STX? I would pick a class before modding. Right now I think I'll be in Open Mod. :( But it's awesome for track days. :)

XlYesterdaYlX 06-09-2009 01:04 PM

looks so clean without the badges.

shazy 06-10-2009 03:52 AM

Not digging it. Maybe it's cause of the crappy pictures :) Seriously if you just lowered the car it would look HAWT! But can't stand that wheelgap in the front....

tunerwannab 06-16-2009 10:45 PM
