FEED Front, Ings+1 Sides, BBS LM's, Etc!
Well, I haven't driven my car in nearly 4 weeks now and it is killing me! I was going to wait to post up a media thread until I had a legitimate shoot, but what the heck.
As I was walking back to my car at the supermarket, I enjoyed the lighting so had to take a few shots - the fourth shot is from a different location. Changes from the time of these pictures to now are better clear corner fitment & Stop Tech slotted rotors front & rear. Next photoshoot will have different colored faces on the wheels and hopefully rear aero + a few other bits!
Mods as shown:
-Fujita Engineering/FEED Afflux Front Bumper
-Ings+1 Side Skirts
-Carbign Craft Carbon Plate Backing
-Mazdaspeed Intake
-RE-Amemiya Header
-Racing Beat Unresonated Test Pipe
-Power Enterprise 3" Full Titanium Catback (prototype)
-Powertrix Race Coilovers
-JIC 4-Point Front Strut Bar
-Mazdaspeed Rear Strut Bar
-Whiteline Sway Bars Front & Rear
-ARC Radiator & Oil Caps
-Custom Battery Relocation
-HKS Twin Power Ignition Amp
-18x11 ET25 BBS LM's w/ 19" faces + reverse lip & barrels for a three piece design. Tires shown are 265/35/18 Hankook R-S3's.
-Volk Racing Formula Lugs
-Autopower Race Roll Bar
-A few other things I am likely forgetting...
Yes, I need rear aero. Yes, the front bumper sits slightly higher than the sides; not the happiest about this, but that's what I get for mixing/matching. Might switch things up to fix this. No, this wheel & tire setup does not rub. No, my fenders are not the prettiest in town. No, I do not have exact alignment info - at full positive camber + zero toe here. All parts are authentic, though Shine Auto makes a great replica version of the front which can be purchased here -> www.shineautoproject.com (email them inquiring about the FEED replica bumper).

IMHO, step lips look better on smaller cars while reverse lips look better on larger cars. Of course, just an opinion with exceptions though!
Lol, 9k!
Thanks for the comments everyone! I'm not the first with the Afflux, though they are fairly rare.
Top Gear - Rear bumper = yes, huge wing = no. We test fitted an Origin GT wing but I wasn't digging it. I need to get some sort of lip spoiler though!

Tilt,
curious, how loud is your car without having a resonated midpipe and header? I had to take my race cat out because it was too loud with the header and catback. car looks awesome by the way.

Thanks for the kind words everyone!
The car is fairly loud but the Ti catback helps keep things sounding reasonable. It's difficult to judge how "loud" something is unless a dB measurement is taken, which I have not. I can say that I haven't been pulled over for an exhaust system in years and have run various comparable setups.
Hmm, FEED bumper actually doesn't hang too much lower than the OEM. I actually think this bumper would look nice with the OEM appearance package aero.
