i think it looks mad weird. but with that said i like weird stuff. so in other words i like it but i wonder how the front lip would look just like ^he said

just camo print your low clearance sticker

 

[bullshark524]

how did you put that clip on the bumper? did you do washers or the sheetmetal idea? and do you have any close up pics? and y not put one on the passenger side?

i like symmetry

I would try something like this.. I know its been done before and works good.

So, Bit of an update. New wheels have been ordered and will ship out on the 31st. All i can say is there aggressive and matte black. Some will hate, others will love. Hopefully more love than hate (getting tired of all this hate on this forum).

In other news I decided to fix my bumper sag on the driver side. to those who haven't seen it:

I decided to go with a road race/track look, so I went and ordered some rubber hood latches from speedwaymotors.com. Weren't to expensive at only 13 bucks shipped. They are going to be riveted on. Im worried that the plastic isnt going to hold very much up. So Ive got options;

1) put washers behind them and then rivet it up
2) make a plate and rivet it behind the bumper, kind of like a sandwich

What do you guys think would work best?

heres a pic of one:

i know i've read that. what i am asking is which option did he choose to go with

 

[Protege03ak46]

I used sheet metal. Worked pretty well, no close ups tho. I havent done the other side cause I just havent had the effort to do it. Those clips wouldnt work cause it wouldnt maintain an even gap between panels.

Tell me why your car looks better than most cars on this website. This car is one of the best layed out Mazdas I've ever seen, just as long as that camo is gone on the front. I agree with you though. The little bit of orange you have is enough.

 

[bullshark524]

^ agreed yours and sleezers are probably my 2 fav

 

[ajkulish]

Stopped at my friends place to help him paint his Z. Just so happens that he lives in a airplane hanger....

Any way... bought a new 5 panel "wink" mirror. Also completed a shifter ive been working on. Stroke's are less than an inch, I can shift so much faster.... Pics to come.
