Went ahead and put my rims on today since the rotors didnt come in I got the calipers tho . With these rims the ES spoiler doesnt looks as good now I need the MP3 spoiler.

Turbocharge I need to badly just not sure how much money I wanna spend on this thing. I have a header coming back from jethot right now so maybe next summer a turbo will be in the plans.

Looks great man. That spoiler doesn't look too bad now that I see it with the rest if the kit. I am kind of partial to the wingless look though. Never the less, keep up the good work!

Got my rotors and pads today so I started on the brakes. Well I prepped everything and painted the calipers red and started to put the fronts on. Once I started to put on the pass side I decided I hated the red and the VHT paint I did not like was part of it. Soooo I stripped them back down and decided to paint them all black I was glad I didnt do the rears yet. I got the msp calipers up front off Ken so they were new. For the rear I reused the ES calipers so I pulled them off and wire brished them all down and sanded them as good as possible but there is still slight bit of rust left and I did not want to sand blast them. So I got this primer from duplicolor that suppose to turn rust into primer and it worked great! So I got all 4 calipers and brackets painted gloss black now I like it! The fronts are still drying and the rears I got installed and rdy to bleed tomorrow cant wait to try out my v-12 phoenix injector .

Looks good man, but those rotors really should be drilled all the way through, otherwise it's just for looks...

 

[Laser03pro]

I liked the zinc plating and they have slots .

 

[MSP#735]

looks good! now you need to remove the door molding and you will be one more step closer to duplicating the MSP...great job!

 

[Maxx Mazda]

Also paint your mirrors.

 

[Laser03pro]

I like the mirrors how they are but I prob will ditch the molding soon. I get bored and take pictures so here are some better ones now I just need a better back ground. This friday I will most likely be putting on my exhaust.
