Hello Michigan?

[CWPspeed3]

I've got to pick myself up a claybar, it looks a lot easier than the rubbing compound I normally use. Man I'm noticing a dozen tiny rocky chips in the front of my car already, Tuesday cant get here fast enough for that clear bra.

 

[mazdaspeedster3]

At least that CWP hides that stuff well. Maybe you should fill them in with just a generic white before that clear bra goes on?

 

[CWPspeed3]

Thats what I'm going to end up doing, since the chips are so small I might just use the white from the base mazda3.

Gotta love Mazda paint. Get used to it. What's the cost for a clear bra?

 

[CWPspeed3]

Theres a Venture Shield place in Birmingham that said $702 but didnt suggest it on a white car so I found a place in Wixom and its going to be a little over $800 for Avery. Its www.paintshield.net he also installs Venture Shield, 3M, and X-Pel all at the same price. Guys name is Greg if your interested.

Does that clear bra really work? Man I didnt know there was this much activity for the ms3 in MI. Im from Livonia, I just got stuck in ****hole PA. Thinking about taking a ride up there soon. Once the weather is more stable, need to keep the ride lookin nice.

Where in PA are you? I'm going to vacationing in Hershey next week.

I get mine put on Tuesday so I can only go by reviews I've read. I forget which brand it was but one review shot it with a co2 bb gun and it left a little mark on the plastic and when they peeled it off there was no mark on the car. It has to work better than nothing.

What part of PA are you stuck in? My gf lives outside of Pittsburgh and I'm occasionally down that way. Are you a hockey fan? I hear its quite crazy with the flyers vs penguins series going.

 

[tunersteve]

I've got relatives near Pittsburgh, just southwest actually. I travel through there from time to time.

That clear bra is $800? A front end paint job every other year is cheaper!!!

Matt,
We made the first page of the pics from Saturday, check them out on xceed.

 

[CWPspeed3]

Yeah but if I keep getting the front painted it wont match the rest of the car, that and if they dont even have a .44ml touch up paint whats the chances they have enough to paint my entire front end?

Haha there are so many threads about bbq pics it took me a while to find which one you were talking about.

 

[willowofwisp]

so michigan is really boring, i cant wait for the fun runs

 

[mazdaspeedster3]

I hear ya Matt, but $800? Lamin X is not even a quarter of that and I know there is another site that you can put it on and take it off (more like speed tape minus the duck tape effect) and it is only like $125. Are they covering your entire hood or just the front clip and a couple inches of your hood? I just cant get over that price tag!!!! I would think twice!

 

[mazdaspeedster3]

Dude, that is a CAI, Cat back and if you play it right a TWMshift kit.

If you guys have heard of Hazleton PA, its around there. But stuck I am... Hockey! s*** , nothing beat when the Red Wings had THE CUP 2 years in a row! Ordered the Cobb Accessport, everyone seems to be unhappy with the results. Im sure once there is a pro-tune available people wont be so upset. I had a 05 Legacy GT before the MS3 and the Cobb did wonders. Anyone here used a different EMS?

 

[mazdaspeedster3]

No EMS here. I hear there is a new flash coming out though. Saw it posted on ********** yesterday. Might be interested in that. Waiting for my TWM shifter/bushings and motor mount and my EBC brake pads. be here any day now...

I looked at Lamin X's website and the kits for the full front is $550 and most of the cost to get this done is in the labor so its probably around the same price. Its only 17" up the hood because full hood and fenders is double the price. The kit covers the full bumper, top fenders, lights, mirrors, hood, and under the door handles.

I just dropped mine off at Gorno service this morning for the alignment TSB, fuel pump TSB, excessive wind noise on the driver front door, and the floor mat hook is about to fall out. Got a bad 3i as a rental.

What alignment TSB is that? Only for the 6? I noticed mine doesn't always track straight. I find myself wandering to the left sometimes.

Sup man. No offense, but that's a bad move, going from Miami to Flint?? What kinda school is there that would make you leave miami for depressing ass flint?
