    Someone jacked the front side markers off me car today!!!!

    Yeah there are a few riced out civic hatchbacks in my apartment complex. Could have been. Should I go to a Mazda dealership to get this part or what?

    Someone jacked the front side markers off me car today!!!!

    Dude I'm a little pissed. Heading out to school today I was walking to my car and noticed the little side markers right beneath the taillights had been removed on both sides. Not the side blinkers, but the little markers that don't do anything (as far as I know). I attached a pic for you to...

    Help with lowering...newb here!

    Sweet thanks guys. So the Tokico Blues are the shocks, correct? So I'd also need to get new struts as well, right? And YES, I have 2 12" JL 12W6s in the back, I love mah tunes :) And about the Eibach ProKit, is the 1.4" front and 1.2" rear drop the only drop this kit offers? It seems...

    Help with lowering...newb here!

    Hey guys. I'm thinking about buying parts online then finding a shop to lower my p5. I have a couple questions if you don't mind. 1) I was planning on going with the Eibach ProKit and Tokico Blues. Everything I read says the ProKit lowers it 1.2in in the back and 1.4 in the front. In many...

    What are major issues when lowering?

    Yeah I figured I'd probably have to drive differently to prevent it from banging on the ground. Overall does it put more strain and wear/tear on the car? How about getting under it to do maintainence?

    What are major issues when lowering?

    I'm thinking about dropping my p5 about 1.5 inches, just to give it a more aggressive look. I'm new to modding, and just wanted to get some opinions about what to keep in mind when deciding to lower your car. Pretty much looking for all the pros and cons. What are some differences that are...

    Painting front screws after taking license plate off?

    Awesome man, I'll look into that. I also read somewhere that most auto parts stores have little plugs they sell for plugging bumper holes. Might have to look into that also.

    Painting front screws after taking license plate off?

    Hey, I took my front plate off and was thinking of putting the screws back in the holes and painting them with some touch up paint. Before you ask, I already searched and found a thread about this but couldn't find the answer to my question. Do I need to do anything to the screws prior to...

    Removing rear emblem to paint?

    Awesome. Thanks for the help, I'll look into that tape. Can't wait to get this finished, for some reason something this simple adds alot to the look of the car...at least I think so. The darker the better.

    Removing rear emblem to paint?

    Really? Yeah I just followed the instructions in that thread and it said to use goop. Where can I get this tape? And is it stronger than normal tape? I'm assuming so, I'd have a hard time believing some tape can hold those emblems on the back on my car. Thanks!

    Removing rear emblem to paint?

    No it's the adhesive I'm using to re-stick the emblems back on. It's called goop actually haha!

    Removing rear emblem to paint?

    Oh so you let the goop sit on the emblems overnight before putting it back on the car? Thanks, I'll try that out next time! Might reduce the amount of excess that seeps out from underneath them. And yeah, the red looked alright but I think I'm sticking with all black! Thanks for the tip!

    Removing rear emblem to paint?

    Yeah it should be pretty sick, actually the car posted a few posts up made by In Flames looks almost EXACTLY like my car, except I have different tail lights. I have the stock Mazda rims powder coated dark gray, probably a little darker than that pic with the calipers colored matched to the...

    Removing rear emblem to paint?

    My car is midnight blue with tinted rear lights and a 20% tint all around, so I kinda wanted to keep it dark. I got the Protege5 and Mazda emblems back on, but the flying M's (both front and back) I'm gonna have to redo. I used a little too much goop and it kinda got on the front part. I...

    Removing rear emblem to paint?

    Yeah dude I removed all the back emblems today, just decided to black them all...but I'm keeping the 5 red, everything else is black. I have them drying out on the porch right now, so hopefully the red 5 looks alright with the rest black, if not, well...I guess I'll black the five too but I...

    Removing rear emblem to paint?

    So are there prongs on the mazda emblem? Not the protege5, mazda, or anything else, just the flying M? That's all I want to paint black, I'm leaving everything else.
