So...finally the dead pedal from the Mazdaspeed6 OEM pedal kit so I threw that in. Ripped out all the plastic lower front bumper grille inserts and replaced with black mesh. Also replaced the silver mesh in the hood with some extra mesh I had from the bumper grilles, so now it all matches. Looks very clean and custom. Oh, and I also repainted the engine bay (engine cover, fuse box cover, ends of strut bar & all fluid caps). I'll post some pics up after I give the 6 a wash.

Hmmn so some updated pictures.

Lower bumper grille Mesh (Also put the black mesh in the hood vent):
Cool engine bay pic from a show a few weeks ago:
I also have the Metra dash kit and some NGK Iridium IX spark plugs waiting to be installed (will be installed when I get the Sniper ignition coils). Ordered an Alpine headunit but IDK when it will arrive.
Currently working on some home-made keyhole plugs.

looks nice! keep up the good work
New engine cover paint job.
Hehe. It came out fantastic! Had the (pebble ash) paint mixed @ the body shop @ my work and 3x coated from a spray gun (no more rattle canning for me) and then 3x clear coated and then buffed so it looks and feels the same as the car doors. I just finished blacking out the letters with a paint marker.
This will be my 'show-only' engine cover. I have 3, one of them might as well look good lol.
The fuse box will be painted to match as soon as it arrives from Mazmart, as it will be a 'show-only' piece as well.
Eventually my cp-e intake will be powder coated a ridiculously high gloss black as well.

Looks good!
Thanks guys! New fuse box cover should be here this week and hopefully painted before the weekend.Not sure if I posted it up here, but I ordered a new amp too for my subs. I guess the one I have now is only giving my subs 1/2 the RMS wattage they require. New class D amp should arrive this week as well.
Steering clunk fixed. New fuse box cover dropped off @ the body shop Thursday.
My subs blew out my rear window yesterday, so got it replaced today (getting it tinted tomorrow). I can only imagine how the subs will sound with a more powerful amp, which I'm still waiting for BTW. Still waiting on the end links to be delivered as well.
Until then, here's the most recent pic of my car.
