I'm guessing he's in Winnipeg (Manitoba anyway) with the 204 indicating his area code.

Welcome! Fellow Canuck here (Vancouverite here).
 
Welcome man! I'll be up in Canada in the middle of December at niagara falls. Anything I should worry about weather wise before driving up?
 
What's with the mudflap fad? They look ugly, IMO. Unless you want to look like a rally Subaru.

Maybe some springs/shocks? Tein S-tech and Tokico HP (blues) are a great combo.

And welcome to 247, man!
 
thanks!

I live in Brandon about 2 hours from Winnipeg lol. I would recommend some decent winter skins for our canadian winters...except we barely got snow last year in Manitoba...it's been a hot summer though so we might actually see snow this winter. You can never count on the weather forecast! One of the only jobs that's your paid not to be right haha

I have a wings west front bumper, extreme dimension rear bumper, stock side skirts, debadged the entire car, VIS carbon fibre hood, custom painted core racing rims, cold air intake, headers, short shift kit, rage power sport cat back exhaust, 3 gauge pillar pod with autometer gauges And I might be forgetting a few things. I really want to get some coilovers eventually but gonna wait till the spring
 
That rear bumper is hideous

Now that's not nice...
It lines up with the top of the quarters, without some 4" ricer gap, and it doesn't sit at some odd saggy angle, it's painted, and it's not cracked in 19 different places. The only problem with it that I see is that the bottom of the bumper does not follow the body lines of the car, and that the front and rear clip sits lower than the side skirts. As far as design goes...I don't particularly care for it, but it was installed correctly, with proper adjustment, and painted something other than flat primer black or gray...while I wouldn't put it on MY car, it's not exactly hideous.
 
I think Mazdas247 as a forum, we all do a pretty good job at biting our tongues at ugly cars or shoddy craftsmanship or parts. I think it's okay to express your opinion, even if it is negative. I fully agree it's hideous but bit my tongue. At least he didn't call him a name or anything.

It's kind of expected to get opinions or criticism when posting pics, because essentially, you're showing off your ride to a huge forum with thousands to see. Some may dig it, but I'm sure more won't. But it's all gravy. :)
