Now,going for the exterior....hehe metamorphosis!

[Argie]

After spending some time(and money) on the interior i moved to the next unavoidable step that we all go,the exterior.
I have started some time ago by adding sideskirts,rearskirt,some Sport20 badges and adding clear sidemarkers.
I have purchased Ninja Nj107 17x7 wheels.
My most recent mod is the front bumper,got a Wings west MP3 from a forum member.
Finally i was able to pay my friend to paint and fitted to my car.
It's looking good (eekdance)

 

[ScratchNSniff]

Awesome...really coming along nicely...

 

[Argie]

Thanks scratch,i will post more pics soon.
I spent good part of saturday cutting the "wings" on the side of the lower front bumper,i got a little scared thinking "why am i ruin my car like this"/,but i can see the finishing product in my head.
So,will see what happen in the next few days.
Thanks for stopping by my thread.

I bought a Wings west MP3 front bumper from a forum member,it's been almost 5 months before i decide to put it.
Fortunatelly for me,i have a friend that owns a bodyshop and he moded and painted for $200 bucks which i think is not bad.
It's not a perfect fit but do the job.
I have ordered the black housing headlights on ebay(taiwan),i received a new grille and ordered 3M CF wrap (graphite).
so will see how it looks.
Thanks for visiting my thread.

sounds good man i wish i had a buddy in a shop i was going to attempt to make a sedan lip out of fiberglass AztecCypher has one were gonna use his to make a mold but i think id just rather just use the mp3 bumper and get the 03.5 lip

 

[Argie]

If i were you,i'll get the MP3 front bumper and lip.
I was going to buy from the stealership for $278 (www.onlinemazdaparts.com),then prime and paint it.

I've received the black housing headlights and corners from Taiwan.
I was able to change the corners only cause i could not figured out how to get the connector out of the headlight to replace for the new one and was getting dark out there.
I got rid of the little "wings" on the side of the lower front bumper,i just need to sand it and give it a little shape and it will be ready for some 3M CF wrap (graphite).

(yippy)I've got to replace the headlight bulbs and old headlights for the new ones.
It's amazing how just a little change could make the car somehow "modernized"
