Tired of looking at that black ugly useless mesh on your rear diffuser? Ever wonder why Mazda created something that hideous? Well, for the price of only $0.99, you can make it look a hundred times better! ::Insert Gasp here:: Here's how to do it.

Tools:
Silver Sharpie


Requirements:
Must pass Kindergarten: Coloring Within the Lines with a C Grade or better.



So, basically, you will need to open the cap of the sharpie.


After that, use the skills that you obtained in Kindergarten and work on your rear diffuser like so:

Not saying it won't work, but I wanna see a pic in 6 months with no touch-ups.

It's a marker, I'm pretty sure it'll come off after about 6 months, just go out and buy a new marker and touch it up again. Only takes about 15 mins

Nice work! Here's a variation on this I used that works pretty well. Instead of a paint pen, use some plastic paint and a brush like this avail. anywhere for >$1.00 - It makes the whole project a 5 minute job.

I broke it once before playing football.

The thing with that thing is that it won't just cover the mesh part but under it too.

Ok, I lie

It's won't it's a foam pad that allows painting just the raised part in jiffy. Proof: Here's the result....

Purdy!

Spin9k

Right back at you! It's so silly they made it raised plastic and never painted it! What was the point?

Spinning Sushi

iTrader: (21)

Yeah, it looks plain and dull with it being all black.

I'm thinking of doing this with GG touch up paint

Spinning Sushi

Actually, that sound like not a bad idea. I might redo mine with touch up paint too.

Now all you have to do is take an X-ACTO knife and cut all the little diamonds out of it and you'll have a true screen mesh.

I was contemplating that but I might somehow screw up. I have a tendency to do more than required and end up screwing myself over. So, if I do start on it, I'll probably won't be satisfy with it and try to perfect it. In doing so, I'm probably going to overdo something and screw up.

I did mine in 2004 I think, and I used 2 coats silver plastic paint and one clear coat. It's nearly '08 and wash the car regularly in warm weather. So far no problems; peeling, flaking, etc. whatsoever.
