cold air is ok, i was gonna get the aem, taking off the bumper for a intake is stupid, and the difference in power is like 1 hp, trust me i know, and not worried about the shrouds, im getting a mazdaspeed bumper anyway..

What he means is that the OEM intake is better than the K&N you're using now.

Removing the front bumper is trivial, and once it's installed, you can always go through the under tray if you wanted to clean the filter.

I guess I like the car.

The wheels are dope, I approve.

Is your car an AT? I didn't think there'd be clearance for the brakes under 16's. I do reiterate -- the wheels are nice.

doesn't look like its a AT due to there being no paddle shifters..

thanks for the compliments guys, yes getting the rims to fit was a bitch, i had to grind the calipers down a bit, to get them to fit with out hitting/rubbing (and no it didnt affect or mess up anything as far as braking and came out quit nice, i then painted the calipers black), and yes my car is obviously a 6speed, and i believe it will look much better once its dropped...and i do love the way the exhaust sounds, not ricey at all compared to the one i used to have on the car (3inch straight pipe with a race muffler)...
