Mazdaspeed shocks/struts and springs orderd today. I'll have them on Saturday!
I also ordered some oil cooler screens that I need to put on. After looking at my oil coolers, I'm amazed my car hasn't blown up! There's no way those things are working worth a damn right now.
I think there was something else I ordered, but I don't really remember at this point. I got kind of "credit card happy" Sunday afternoon.

The link Warner posted was only 24 bucks, plus you live in Tulsa, and I want to install them before the meet. How much did you want for yours and shipping? I'd also want to paint them black... OHHH or maybe chrome to match my other bumper piece that I havent had on in forever.... choices... choices....

On a side note, also did the Trans and Dif fluid today and plan on getting an oil change and 2 new rear tires on the 16th.

But after 2 years of road debris and coyotes, they looked pretty rough.
