No man, my car is still wrecked. These are pictures somebody took at the show a few weeks prior to the accident I was in. I left 4 days after that, and didn't even get to get it fixed yet.
My car is sitting at home with a crunched right fender, right side bumper, smashed foglight, cracked headlight, bent rim, and custom graphics that now have to be pulled off for the body repairs. So yeah, I'll be pretty pissed off for awhile waiting for my car to get fixed when I get home.
If I can convince my wife to let me get my RX-8, I may just get it fixed, throw it back to stock, and trade it in. Gotta do some fenagling of the wife though. I bought her a new Envoy, so now its my turn again, hehe. We can all dream I guess. Alright, back to school I go!
Laters!

Rmedoc I can not believe it. That had to hurt. Was it their falt? :'(
Going to try for the RX-8 through the wife? I just put the wife in a Discovery and do ya think she would let me drop the P5 a couple of inches and put new wheels and tires on it. Nope nada not going to happen this year. Maybe next year. She thinks it is going to be a terrible ride for the kids. So now I am just trying for the vinyl. On the RX-8 note, someone here in BFE Oregon has one. I almost got to talk with them at a mini-mart but could not turn around quick enough to get to them be for they left. I have seen it 4 or 5 times now going down the HWY. Is it me or is the yellow different than our vivid yellow?

Oh ya,
I found a company on ebay www.espeedgraphics.com that will show you any car with the vinyl on it. Here is what they sent me for one I asked to see.

if your running the decals all the time.. one shade darker than your stock color down the fenders or along the sideskirt.
if its just for a show.. get jdm about yours and run them down the far side of the windshield slanted. -=)

Wow! They are Ebaying it now huh? that's funny cuz espeedgraphics is who did my graphics! Small world isn't it! They are a company out of Canada. I highly recommend them. Great bunch of folks there, and will help you out for any questions you have.
Yeah, going through the wife won't be that big a deal for me really cuz she said I could already dump the car if she likes what I pick out. When I talked to her the other day, she said she saw one around town and loved it, so I will be good there. THe only problem I see is that since we have a new baby on the way in Janurary, she is in that "let's save money and buy a bunch of stuff for baby" mode. So, I'll have to check to see what kind of local deals I can get when I get back. Got a buddy over at Mazda, so he should give me a good deal. Just gotta wait to see.

EDIT- HOLY s***!!! That was the 1st graphic I started with on my car!! HAHAHA!! It looks great, but do not get it done in a faded effect like I did. There method isn't the greatest, and the heat faded it too quickly. Stay with one color. I had it done in silver and blue. Everyone liked it as well, just the fading pissed me off. They redid the current graphics on my ride for half the cost since the other ones screwed up so quickly. I'll have my wife email me a few pics of the other graphics and I'll post em so you can see the real thing on there for ya. What a small world!

Rmedoc(usa) I emailed espeedgraphics about the CF, they said it is really expensive. So I don't think I will go that route. Now two or three tone I will definitly do. I need to get a better pict. of a clean P5 to play around with in Photoshop. And mask out any back ground to put graphics on. I like yours because it reminds me of the eternal lifewave. I am looking at something similar but not exact. Espeedgraphics also has the best price on the web for the Mazdaspeed banner for the windshield.

Ahh baby mode I know what that is, we have a 4 month old and a 3 1/2 yr old. If this is your first there goes the mods. No its not that bad just think of it this way, the child seat fits great in the back of the P5. Any questions on install let me know. Best childseat out there is the Eddie Baur (sp) Race seat at babies R-US.

Hey, look what I found on ebay from Revolution motorsports.

So like a shadow? I am not sure what it would look like. I would have to see it to get a better look at it.(uhm)

 

[mypfizzle]

like equinox car. -=) so they arent as noticable -=)

 

[JrTekSilverP5]

hey, nice stickers dude - chris

 

[KMac]

OK, I have been with this forum since Jan. and I don't think I have seen Equinox's car. I will see what I can find.

Hey, I checked out your M-unit site. Is it just the cloths or is there more to it? I do like it. I like the white.

 

[mypfizzle]

ah.. jrtek kinda got it to.. just find a color close to your car.. or with jr he has silver so he went with mirrored stickers.. that way u only really see it when the light it on it.. or your looking for it.. kinda like a cheap way to do a ghost flame idea.. thats what i like.. that or the stickers down the right side of the window.. but i would only rock that for a show.

I just checked Equinox's site, the light has come on.(thought) I do like that. Especially for the Manufacturers stickers. The mirror look is pretty subtle too. Decisions, decisions.

 

[mypfizzle]

see what i meant? -=) maybe if your car is yellow u could get a reflective yellow sticker? something like that?

 

[KMac]

I like what Rmedoc did with it along the skirt. Now do it in Carbon fiber. That would look good. Kids a callin' Later.
