All Stock, 45,000 miles. 1st mod will be the Corksport SRI off my CX-7, followed by painted calipers with mazda decals as well as black painted rims using that dupli-color wheel coating spray.
 
Thanks for the compliment... I have been playing with photography for about a year now (I got into it so I could take pictures of automobiles and cool landscapes as soon as I got my car... a year later) Anyways, I spent a lot of time messing around with both these photos getting the effect I want, and the top one is not HDR. I tried using a lot of sharpening and clarifying to get an HDR look. The bottom picture is definitely HDR; three exposures put together, sharpened and clarified.
 
i gotta agree people keep telling me to finish the look i want i need to tint the windows but i like the way it looks as is!

newer pictures to come soon all blacked out!

That is EXACTLY how I want to paint my rims (not to be a copy-cat or anything)! If you don't mind, I have a few questions:

1. What type of paint did you use? Is it flat, satin, or gloss black?
2. How did you tape off the Mazda Emblem on the center cap?

Awesome job on the car... but you gotta tint the windows!
 
Just put the HD lip last week...

The rims were powder coated with a wet black finish as for the center caps those were the biggest pains in the rear!!! Your gonna need alot of patience and work them off slowly. The center caps are two stage paint because you cant powder plastic. There are tabs on the back of the caps to pop the mazda emblem off just be careful.
 
Definately the best I've seen so far. Are all of them installed with the tape on the OUTSIDE of the existing black peice under the front bumper?

Thanx bro(2thumbs)
No, you kinda guide yourself with that plastic piece but you actually put the double sided tape on the lip and then stick it on the bumper itself. Its kinda tricky in the curve on the bottom, I took a bit to figure out how i really wanted it on there. But besides that, it was super easy!
 
same here, how you like em?

mmm..there really bouncy on bumps and could really feel the pot holes but i guess its a price you pay for having your car how u like it..cuz i really like the stance it has
But besides, on coilovers you really dont get as much bounciness and there way stiffer by what i was told. But you could change the height and all that good stuff but you could still feel those pot holes hard. So i guess i really like the H&R springs and later on ima get coilovers and pay a different price with those haha
