Lotsa new pics of my Stormy Blue
Hey guys. I finally got around to taking some halfway decent pictures of my car. 6 months ago the car was a bone stock GT but I've added a few things since then.
Couple things-
Photographer I am not, I know some of the pictures aren't the greatest. Also, the car was pristine before I apparently drove through giant clouds of bugs on my way down to Cape Cod.
In a couple of the pictures the back tires had sunk into the sand a bit, so it looks kinda weird.
And I know the car isn't lowered. And I know it would look better lowered. But I also think a non-trashed appearance lip and side skirts look even better.
Anyways, here we go..

Nice. We've got fairly similar cars. I've been thinking about strakes for a long time now - even after seeing yours with them I can't decide if I like it better with or without.
Either way - solid action, man.

I'm also going to be getting the MS front end at some point, it looks good on yours

My first 8 (R.I.P.) was a 2005 WW Pearl. About 2 years ago I saw one of the only other SB I've ever seen in person driving past me on the freeway. I knew at that moment that if I ever bought another it would be that color. As luck(?) would have it my poor 2005 got totaled winter of that same year. Hence my SB 2008.
There is at least one other person on the forum with Mazdaspeed front/sides on a SB.

Watchout parking like that after a nice hard run. You'll start a fire for sure! 
Nice looking car.......as someone already said.......wasn't a color option when I got mine or I would've got that one!

Thanks guys, I appreciate the love
And yea, I also like the fact that SB seems to be a fairly rare color.
Oh topgear, are those black rpf1s? Hard to tell from your avatar. I have to say, I was unsure about the wheels until I saw them in person. I don't think the rpf1s photograph too well.

I can't believe you were able to drive with those tires in the sand and not get stuck!
