    What have you done to your P5 today?

    After scrounging all the local junkyards and "u-pull it" yards in the area, I decided to bite the bullet and ordered a replacement fender and bumper from Partify. They offer a "painted" option, and for the price ($245 painted and shipped for the fender), I figure it's worth the risk...

    What have you done to your P5 today?

    Replaced both broken side mirrors with new aftermarket units. Had to de-pin the tweeters from the original mirrors- which was odd considering how the two wires going to the speaker have their own connector further up the line.

    What is the dumbest thing a Parts store employee has ever said to you?

    Gi: The traveling mazda flag!!!! :d

    Heck yeah I'm in!!! Also agree that it would be awesome to have it "driven" from point to point, and signed by everybody! Just make sure there's some sort of max size on the signature, so you don't have one person sign half the darn flag...
