I don't think it would have been as bad if he just posted pics and said "here she is". But our opinion was asked, so we gave it. Most of us think it has potential, but just needs to lose a few things.

bumper looks like a grill, like one for hotdogs. openings are two wide imo.

to each their own, and if you like it, so be it, but to me but the job looks too home made. The b pillar especially. might wanna reduce font size.

wow. thanks you for your comments. the logo is the mazdaspeed logo but the pic doesnt do justice. it looks a lot better in person. i made sure the guy how made the decals used the rigth mazdaspeed logo but then again i guess the font was too big and i do agree with that. maybe i will leave them for awhile then remove them to come up with another ideas to replace them. thanks for all your comments i do appreciate them, just remember that opinions are like asshooles.....everybody has one.
keep the comments coming.
what should i put on the front bumper instead of the my billet grille? any ideas? i dont have a lot of money to spend so any simple but ingenious would be good
thanks

^^ Yeah, get the stock MS grills on there, they'll look much better then your custom grill. (though I applaud your creativity, it just didn't come out very nice)

That spoiler's GOTTA go! Isn't that a Celica spoiler??

B pillars are just too LOUD. If the MS logo were a lot smaller, I don't think it would be that bad.

Well, at least you got the right color. Everyone knows that black is the fastest.

I think you're golden without the stickers and chrome grills. Spoiler is suspect, but overall not too bad.

That bumper fitment on the hood is way off. Did they use the metal piece from the stock bumper? (see pic's).
They have to reuse the bar to get it to line up. I installed my (used) replica bumper and ran into this.

I also put a mazdaspeed sticker on my black 8, but it's not as visible as yours are.
