Ok so FIRST here is a picture of my car when i first bought it wrecked****it looked worse actualy...the front bar thats all bent in the front was alot more bent in towards the car. ***NOTE: all work i did minus the straightening of the car and the painting that was needed




Here is after some work was done but not yet complete.




Pic of my pops paintin the bumper...




AND FINALYYYYYY..the finished product**tho i still have a few things in motion for it














I also took off the muffler but havent finish putting on the new tips and the exhaust controller so i can turn the sound off if i want....also the driving lights are different i got super white ones and i got the LED turn signals.....and the mods u can tell is the carbonfiber trunk and hood. the black rims. smoked out taillights. and the tint. i also had the mazda sign on the front bumper not installed when we painted the bumper. im planing on gettin a cold air intake. and getting carbonfiber mirrors and pillars.

ill put up a video of my exhaust for all to hear...its insaine...its louder than those modified trucks with flowmaster exhausts...i know because i had a lil rev off with one haha but ill put that on here soon i hope comments or suggestions??

Amazing restoration!

But theres a large gap on the side of the hood and fenders.

Also did you get the crumple zones fixed to original spec metal?

Getting into a frontal accident can be fatal if the original crumple zones was replaced un professionally.

jman700

THANKS! and yea i noticed that....but its because of the CF hood..since its not original mazda.. it doesnt have perfect fitment :/ but u cant really tell on the road anyways overall im veryyy happy. and yes the crumpled up parts were taken care of by a professional who specializes in wrecks so i feel safe thanks for the input !!!!

Nice restoration!
No bottom tray?

What do you figure you saved?

jman700

yea i did put the bottom tray on that was just the pics of before i did....well i bought the car for about 7k(wrecked) and ended up paying around 15k or so (with the CF and other aftermarket things) also the car had 3k miles when i bought it... so low miles and half price i figured i did good

Great restoration, the car looks AMAZING.

I thiknk you need to get the oil cooler screens, so you don't damage them and the undertray was already mentioned. Oh yeah, next time just click on the image code in photobucket and just paste it in your post, much better.

jman700

yea i was lookin into that a lil while ago... but i cant find something that matches the middle grill of the bumper...or should i go with a kind of mesh? im not sure wat to do...and yea i tried one of those kinds but it didnt work...maybe i did the wrong one :/

Hey if you have the resources to do it, why not. Nice job.

looks sweet. what did you do w/the roof inset? looks black unless my eyes have crapped out - it's def. a nice touch.

jman700

suprisingly no. when i bought the car the fenders were untouched so that was good, but after i finaly finished my car and took it to the streets after 30 days of driving it i got in a wreck :/....i hit this lady from behind but it was her fault because she turned out of a shoppin plaza and went far into my lane going about 5 mph, but luckly there was a cop right there and he saw it and after that i did have to change t he fender haha my cars been through alot lol had to restore it twice :D

jman700

haha naw ur eyes are good. i removed them and sanded them down because i didnt like the crappy plastic finish look...and i painted them with a glossy black. its REALLY easy to do and very cheap if you want to add that different little look. if someone wants the dui for it i could give u that...its really easy

dmc27

It really is a sharp looking contrast. Not worth a dui tho! lol.

Mine's a BB, so I wouldn't change it. But it really is a nice way to add & match up some black in non black cars.

Turned out nice!!! I like the two tone look with the silver and greys.

Mad props to fixing it yourself. you have to be proud. Car looks great and seeing the final product on a photoshoot with a DSLR camera and controlled lighting will be amazing.
