I'm guessing you mean these?



They're part of the Escort Passport SRX.

i like that stereo install. makes me wish i hadn't bought the nav.

i saw a pretty nice diy for getting the passport installed into the homelink part of your rearview. goes on and off when key is in ON. looks a little cleaner than the way you have it. you might check it out.

love the ms kit.

think it deflects or distorts the coppers. probably could have hidden that a little better too. would it work hidden right underneath the bumper or where the foglights go?

How is your car a 2008 but not a 40th addition?

Great looking! What kind of wax are you using?

The front shifters have about an 18" radius around them where they are effective. Since I don't have a front license plate the first alternate location to shoot for (as I was told my police officer friend) is the headlights. I have mine mounted so they cover the middle of the car and the headlights. They work exceptionally well.

edit: oh yeah - the shifters have to be mounted level horizontally to function properly. So that can weigh heavily on where/how you mount them.

The 40th edition was only offered in that Metropolitan Gray color here in the states - at least that is the only color I ever saw them officially available in. Someone who lives around the corner from me has one - I'm not a fan of the color at all. The US version of the 40th edition had a special interior color, special wheels, and maybe a few other things... it wasn't all that "special" if you ask me. I honestly paid about zero attention to it because I just couldn't get past the dark gray exterior.

I've actually not waxed it since I put the Mazdaspeed kit on. That'll happen Sunday this weekend if the weather cooperates. I've been using Meguiar's Gold Class and I've been happy with the results. Though I've been told that the new NXT stuff is even better. I'm on the fence as to whether I'm going to bother changing at this point.
