What have you done to your P5 today?

Last I checked that was called "Rice"

I feel like 90% of aesthetic modifications done to a car are labeled rice by some...

I don't dig the fake CF much either, but If it's done well and not put EVERYWHERE, I don't see it being any worse than someone who puts DG CF trim overlays everywhere in their interior either...

I agree with you guys. I would only consider buying a carbon fiber hood because of the weight savings. But I'm driving a freakin station wagon, so what's the point? Haha.

I guess I'm just too much into "function over fashion". Carbon fiber is cool. On race cars with a full CF dashboard. But paying $300 for a CF overlay for the surround around your radio doesn't make sense to me. And I'm done. Like you said, it's all just opinion. It's alllllllll good.

 

[Matt V]

Yeah, I don't see the point either but everyone has their opinions.

Well, I'm sure I'll get flamed when I say I don't understand the point of wrapping something in fake carbon fiber to look lke carbon fiber when carbon fiber is used to reduce weight when you're actually adding weight to a part to make it look like carbon fiber. It's the general consensus on this board that the 3M wrap is cool so I'll be quiet.(whistle)

To me it looks better than painted interior pieces. And the DGM real CF pieces are just as bad since they just stick on instead of replacing the piece.

I am doing just some small interior pieces. Trying to switch up most of the interior to black instead of that silver.

I am also going to try to wrap the outside of my netbook and the back of my GF's iphone.

It's all in the eye of the beholder, Naw Mean?

Yessir!

You're going with OEM, right?

oem wires yes, I was told that would be the next step, if there is issues beyond that try the coils, the spark plugs seemed to have taken care of the misfire.

Just use the blue ngk wires. Same as stock just blue and much cheaper since not through Mazda.

 

[iJay]

Thanks, i ll def do that, is this something I can get @ autozone?

Should be able to. I got mine @ advanced auto parts, IIRC.

Autozone pisses me off sometimes. Half the times I've been in there, I've had to show their employees how to use their own search system because they can't find a part.

yeah, what he said. I was just making sure you weren't doing something completely and utterly pointless like going Nology wires or something.

lol n e thing with the word "no" in it should be a sign of things to come. I kid I kid.

but f'reals at auto zone those guys didnt seem all there, this thread really makes me think twice. LOL I got fed up of waiting for a service person and looked up the part using one of thier free computers gave me the part number when it was my turn saved me the headache.
