i had the same problem. if you take off the plastic liner that houses the trunk latch, there is a metal seam a little above the bumper liner. that seam was leaking for me, sealing it up fixed the problem. the best way to find out is crawl in your trunk with a flashlight and have a buddy...

I just cant get behind CF-izing everything, especially when the part was either a) lighter in its stock form or b) doesnt need to be CF strong. Eyelids, interior trim, mirror covers... a plastic engine cover works fine. I do applaud your efforts though, like the post above, I would LOVE to...

That camera setup is great! You should run the wires under the headliner though. Where did you get the mount? I just recently wanted to get a camcorder going, I need to get a shock proof mount or whatever but I dont really know what theyre called.

Haha and then the cops cuff me as I try to crawl away with broken shins (boom01) I considered putting an eject lever in the same general position as they usually are (like in the picture), but I decided it was lame and couldnt think of anything to do with it other than open my trunk or doors or...

re Haha thanks for the comments. Again to clarify I'm not an idiot and I've already taken it out for regular driving. I just made it for fun out of stuff that I already had lying around. Literally, all I bought were the two carriage bolts that connect it to the radiator frame. I just bought...

Well on another mazda3 forum I showed my previous aviation themed mods. Here is the latest: The stick is a Cougar Hotas joystick for flight simulators. It is a replica of the flight sticks used in F-16s, as well as other fighters. Although this has probably not been done often before, it...

On a real hot day, all I did was walk to my car on my lunch break, squat down, grab an end and yank on it. They each came off, tape included, in one long pull. No damage at all. If hot days arent likely to happen to you, you can use a hair drier to warm it and floss to saw it away, but I...

As far as I know the bumper itself is different on an 07, but I was under the impression the bumper mounts are all the same so you could switch out the entire thing, which is probably the case with the kits. Dont quote me on that though. Hood I dunno

I doubt they are very good, I bought mine off eBay (I cant for the life of me rememeber the seller, but an identical ad is no longer on ebay) and then I got a set for my friend from a M3F member. The ones I got for my friend ended up being a good deal brighter. In the picture on the link you...

They're very much worth it, in my opinion. This was the first mod I completed on any car, the only 'experience' I have with that kind of thing is being generally mechanically inclined. I did it (a 9 hour task) a month after I bought the car, which was stupid in hindsight, but it worked out fine...
