Better than before, but a bit too much for me.

Pretty sure that I've seen mention of CA law requiring amber light from the sidemarkers. You can get Stealth bulbs w/the clear corners that have a silver coating on the bulb so you don't see the bulb when it is NOT lit, but still glows amber when lit. Tho I will warn you, the stealth bulbs I got w/my clears did not last long. One blew out in about 4 months. I'm now on clear bulbs, but RI po-po's are generally pretty cool about stupid little stuff like that.

I don't really like the mint blue spoiler, and it was sold separately, (lala insurance gave us only a limited money) and yes, I changed the tires with the rims, but this tire is acutally better than the one I had before on my 16" which were dunlops

and dmc, linky? I can't find em on google=.=

search 'stealth bulbs' on google = this page.

I never bought them separately, tho. When I bought the clear corners I had the option of paying an extra $5 to get a set of stealth bulbs. So it prlly depends where you get the corners - if it's through mazdaparts (or prlly any vendor) you will prlly have the option. If it's through a member or on ebay you might have to get the bulbs on your own. IIRC - it was $65 for the clear corners, or $70 for the corners w/stealths - pretty easy choice.

well, its official, the tire is super skiddish, but the car doesn't spin out of control like the stock, it just likes to skid skidd skidd

I am thinking of the tein coil over as I hear they are the best for racing, any other good ones?

Looks good mate.

And for the people bashing your rims, just ignore it. If you like them, then that is what counts.
