First off, body modifications are not cheap. I wanted to make my car different and I accomplished that with $70 in vinyl. All of which is reversable and can be easily removed in a few minutes.
Second, how many people do you know outside the mazda community that actually know what a mazdaspeed is? I'll bet very few. Our car is basically a hatch with subtle changes.... so subtle infact, most people would overlook them.
Third, feel free to share your comments all you like, you won't hurt my feelings at all, I could care less, I just want you to know my train of thought... I like it and my wife likes it... that's more than enough reason to do it and keep it.
In the end, your car will just be another "hatch".. If anyone here saw mine on the road, they would immediately know exactly who's it is and what it is...
