go America!!! Love the flag; cant remember if AZ was a red state or blue but I do love your 8, nice wheels. You gotta get some body kits though, Mazdaspeed will look perfect for your style of wheels and color.

You might want to do that, because right now you have no protection on your paint. When you claybared it you took all of the wax, polish, and/or sealants off the paint.

Very nice... Much better pics this time -- the Enkei's don't look so overwhelmed. Very pure and light looking.

Skip the body kit and put some sport springs on. A slight drop will make this car look slightly mean and compliment the wheels perfectly.

Nice camera work...

Well I got it all waxed...now the finish is SUPER SMOOTH, only bad thing is that I will probably have to redo it in a couple of weeks for a show.
