Body Styling question....

[truplayax14]

Which would look better with a 2003.5 spoiler; 2003.5 rear lip or MP3 lip...?

Keep in mind the color of my car is emerald green mica... Just incase it makes a difference...

I am getting P5 front bumper with foglight delete covers, eyelids, auto exe/dgm grill, mp3/p5 side skirts, and ofcourse 2003.5 spoiler. Maybe an autoexe lip or 2003.5 lip (yes that would X the delete covers) too.... Opinions are very much aprieciated.

I really like the way this car looks.... without any lips... Just wanna hear some other ppls thoughts.

If you are getting the OEM sides and rear lip, I always thought the 03.5 front lip looked best. The autoexe one make the front look to heavy without a lower rear bumper or lip.

oh, and I'd keep it wingless

Hey if you're planning to discard your old front bumper, lights, hood, fenders... let me know... I'd like to be the receiver of your trash!

i am getting a P5 bumper to be fitted to a 99-00, so I wont be discarding my lights, fenders. or hood... but u have dibs on my bumper....u want my grill too?

 

[kl_03maz]

nah, too far a drive for just a bumper

Good luck with the project

I'm sure the front end will look sweet with the 00 headlights, theres a reason why I wanna do a 2003 - 2000 front end conversion... the headlights can be squared off nicely

Cheers!

Keep me informed on your progress.

I plan on doing the same thing but Im using the eribuni side skirts.
How are you gonna fix the gap around the lights? Fiberglass?

 

[truplayax14]

there shouldnt be any problems around the lights, just the sides where it comes to the fender... a little bondo and i am set... And it should be shipping in A WEEK!!!!!! I cant wait...

Its not quite that easy
FYI heres the sides cut, and bumper mounted.
NOtice the gaps around the lights. + the sides of the lights are too close.
Heres what it should look like

what you should do is cut the 00 front fascia a couple inches under the grill on that crease and same for the new one and graft it together and smooth it out. Might be easier.

jesus that is a lot of s*** in one engine. Where was the battery moved?

 

[truplayax14]

i am buying the same one that phil has (Heres what it should look like) It would cost about the same amount to get it worked on..., they did a gb on another forum... It is made to fit the 99-00; So no mods are really needed except for a little fitting and some bondo where the side meets the fender...

 

[zerocover]

Which other forum? LInk? I know we did the GB for some $350 each for a fg bumper.

Phil's however was made form abs, with fg just around the lights.

If its made for the 99-00 it should take no modifications at all.
Whatever Im gonna get started on mine soon enough (just bought the fg)

 

[truplayax14]

Mine is fg... i didnt get it through the forum tho... I just know that a gb went on for one on a different forum...

i actually like the 2001 rear lip...mp3 style. Planning on getting one soon along with side skirts. I don't really like the '03.5 style rear lip. Thats just my taste, hehe

 

[truplayax14]

Thanks for your input, i think that is what i will be getting, from mazdastuff.com... free shipping... sounds good to me

 

[sandspeed]

i like the look on the 03.5 parts myself but for your car i think 03 rear lip and wing would look great. good luck with the conversion cant wait to see pics!

 

[truplayax14]

thanks, i love the 2003.5 msp... but i could spend the money saved to get it to make mine more like it and it would be cheaper...

here is the look i am going for...
