Hey guys heres a new pic of my 8, new rims, new tires, shaved doors and trunk, and finally new suspension








let me know what you think

 

whoa u did shave the door handles.. i think it looks better with the door handles IMO. so how do u get in? haha

 

how do you get in?

 

lazi you must have beat me to it by mere seconds!

 

remote. push the button once to turn off the alarm and hold the button to open the door.

 

craziness! That sounds like a super sweet mod....and you can always justify it w/ aero efficiency!

 

not bad. i was thinking about shaved door handles, but heard it become a pain after a while and the actuator may sometimes fail.

is that mesh you replaced the grill with?

 

haha yup lol. my intake hangs down in front of my engine bay so yeah its pretty much gettin the air around there

and ohh yeah the stock grill got cracked so i jus had to replace it

 

crazy,
too bad it isn't like finger print sensor, or palm sensor
or maybe u can teach the car to recognize u and it'll auto open
that'd be like some crazy stuff that'll happen in the future or something.

 

i wish. so pretty much if someone wanted to steal my car they would have to cut off my hands huh HAHA

 

Interesting, did you create a fail safe in case the battery dies?

ie a way to get the hood open to charge the battery.

 

wow i think your car looks dope

 

everything is backed up for ICOE my friend

 

shaved doors have been around for over 50 years, nothing new about them, and they look entirely kick *** compared to our ugly *** stock door handles. It would have been nice if they could have done ours the way they did the FD or Berreta's, just looks so much cleaner without some ugly *** handle sticking out all over the place. this has been talked about before on the forum, just do a search for shave handles.

 

very clean man...one of my last cars had shaved everything. man what a pain in the ***!! I went through 3 sets of motors, actuators, and 2 different alarms. What a total waste of money, not to mention 2 different shops. I even had a remote backup popper but I had to use it so many times that that failed as well. Definetly not for daily drivers but great for show cars.

 

And what happens when it freezes outside and the doors won't open from a little electrical impluse?

 

Those poppers have a lot of kick and I don't know how easy it is to freeze our doors shut. Ever notice how much they can move when they are closed if you push on them from the outside?

 

yea the poppers are typically verY strong. The main problem with these is the cable running from the motor to your door handle. that line can easily break.

 

already happening man. BMW, Mercedes, Lexus...

 

still opens pretty normal on the winter, i have a back up tools in the trunk just incase it wont open at all, since the trunk keyhole is not shaved, im still able to open the trunk and pull out the tools

 

Some winters in upstate NY were so cold I had a hard time opening my doors with the handles. I can just imagine without em.......

 

i like it and came across my mind once at a local show.to me it makes it look cleaner like a FD

 

u shaved your door handels
u debadged your trunk
but u leave the mazda logo on your front????????

and the grills..........and those stickers.........and......
dude your car looks weird

 

i only have 2 stickers lol, one was from a website and the other was the team's meaning

 

How 'bout some clear corners?

I like the look!
