QUOTE Signature Sound; Well Funk, your system is coming along nice. I am waiting for the powder to come in so I can make your coolant tank fittings powder coat black to match the catch cans. I still need to finish the brackets and polish them. Then lastly everything will get a glaze final polish to shine it up even more. Let me know what you think so far!

QUOTE:Signature Sound: Update on the coolant tank progress for Mr Funk:
The sight tube fittings were prepped removing all casting marks and sanded smooth. Then they were powdercoated chrome:
Fresh out of the oven and still warm, the anodize blue powdercoat was applied. Then baked to full cure and heres the final result:

I should have the car back and ready this Saturday. It's been while since I last drove it. Once i get it back I have to get it all ready for car show/meet that the local Mazda's are show casing in. We have a list of about 25 Mazda's as a team in the show. Stay tune for pictures that should be coming up soon.
Cannot wait for this weekend. Going to be so sick! I really hope my spacers come in by Sat

I'm deciding to paint the baby!
I'm thinking of doing a Lexus Pearl WHITE! Tell me what you think?!
Or the Glacier Blue Mica ( Pearl White with blue flakes in the paint) ??

Yeah, CWP was what I was thinking too! I knew Marc's paint job looked familiar! It looks great though. I still have lots of time to think about it and save for it. Suggestions are always welcome.
Where are you going to get the work done? Time for custom front and rear metal fender widening!! I don't know if you met Calvin yet, but he has the MZ3 with MS3 front. He has a crazy static stanced-out GTI with custom rear fenders widened 2" by cutting out the oem fenders and getting an extra set of rear quarter panels to make the wide body look 100% stock. Check it out:

Yeah brotha, that looks clean! I was actually thinking about doing the body work myself. It's going to be awhile till that ever happen though. We'll see, hard to tell what time holds for me. I plan to keep the baby forever. =)
