wax job looks good!

- lose the moonroof deflector
- get strakes
- get tint

That doesn't even make sense! lol :D

Nobody peels off a sticker, and carries it with them to Italy.

thanks all. I figured the Bush sticker would polarize people, but I didn't intend to start a political debate here (not that anyone is). Anyway, most people think the moonroof thing is stupid, I don't really have an opinion one way or the other about it...it could stay or go, whatever. Tint would be cool, I might do that sooner or later. I'd love to put the strakes on too, but honestly what mazda dealers charge for them is way beyond outrageous, so I'd have to find some much cheaper ones and I'd do it.
About being in Italy, I actually have a "proud republican" shirt which I wisely left at home. Generally I find that Italians are misinformed, tree-hugging hippies who are afriad of war because of their experiences in WWII. Just ignore them, their government (luckily smarter than they are) supports us, so we're good. How many Italians have I pissed off now? Probably most of them. Mi dispiace se lo leggete, sto scherzando!

Love the car and everything about it... except maybe the moonroof thing, but like you said that could stay or go.

it is screwed in but it looks to me like a power screwdriver could probably get it out, i looked at it one day but I didn't try to remove it. I'm sure someone here has taken it off before.

The wind deflector is held on with two clips. It is not attached to the body of the car. Just unscrew the two screws and slide it back and up. The two brackets actually fit into a slot that runs inside the moonroof area.
