    *Mazda of the Month 2.0* Enter now for October!

    hahahaha (thumb) actually, if you want to get technical, you can blame mazda for it, it's from their 'competition' lineup of FIA group-a parts, pre-mazdaspeed goodness. and yes, i agree, the cusco is going in shortly (we'll see how much an adjustable bar helps, or hurts, for that matter....)...
