Yes, nice & shiny!! The last one really brings out the color in the paint. It would be a good example when people ask "duh. what dus red luuk lik????"

Interesting accessory combination...

Just curious: why didn't you go for the front air dam?

Besides the fact that it's $350....

I don't like the fact that it makes the front of the car look lower than the sides of the car, especially since I am not getting the Mazda side aero flares (which I in no way like).

The thing is... the lowest accessory you can get are the front flares/mudguards; which you have. That's why I asked. I thought that having those + the front air dam would make the front look quite nice. (besides... what's $350? Two days wages?)

I decided to balance out the front air-dam with rear + side flares. Have you seen the side flares in person or just net pics?

I've seen them in person, and I'm not a fan. If they went further up the side of the car instead of stopping so abruptly, I might be inclined to get them.

Also, I was thinking of getting the existing black dam on my car painted red, rather than adding an additional piece.

Very nice. Love the color. I have mixed feelings about the front/rear mud guards, though. Could you post some closeups of those please?

I only have the front mudguards. There are rear aero flares in the back, which in my opinion look better than the rear mudguards...the flares keep to the lines of the back of the car.

I don't have any closeups, but i can take some tomorrow.

Nice ride

I too prefer the cleaner look without the areo package or the fron air dam.. and the Tail wing makes it look like a celica

Mine has only the frnt and reaar mud guards, With all the chorm package stuff. I post pics soon your is sweet
Nice ride
Enjoy
