hood and ww rear window spoiler are painted

:
2003.5 Mazdaspeed Protege
here the pics are. the hood is a vis evo and we left the vents cf. we were either gonna go black or cf i think i like the cf look alot of them. The contrast nicely against the hood and match well with the cf eyelids. I also have a set of cf hood pin locks that are waiting to go on. the color of the hood looks off due to reflection i think only on the right side as you can see on ther left the match is perfect. both sides are perfect when you see in person the paint shop that does my work is very good. im off to college tomorrow for soccer so i wont be working to much on the msp. i have sportline spring sittin in my room. and a fmic on its way. sucks i can't install sooner. ill be a weekend project after soccer seaosn is over i guess. what you guys and girls think of it?

nice, i like it a lot...especially the hood :D
thanks i always love the positive feedback just need to get my pinlocks on so i can bring down the passenger side of the hood a cm even with the drivers. besides that i love it. my paint shop fixed the chips on the corners from shipment so it looks like a perfect hood now.
 
nice pics. the car looks great. i like your grill. where did you get the mazdaspeed emblem in your grill?

at first we were gonna paint the eyelids but then figured since we kept the vents cf itll flow more with them still cf. also cf hood pinlocks will be in the silver too. my friend was telling me i need to cf sheet my whole hood now. i was thinking thatd be sweet just need someone to make a sheet big enough so it all lines up

what does that mean
 
Looks good. But looks like you need to adjust on the passenger side. To me it's sitting way high.
 
you shoulda had the body shop fill in those ridiculous black things on the sides of the hood with bondo and paint over em.....
 
becareful of that rear winder spoiler. I've had it on 3 times! Yes, 3 times and it didn't hold on. First time, with the original double side tape it was loose after a week. 2nd time i had it held with urethane glue and it actually flew off when i was going on a on ramp. 3rd time, it flew off again, but this time it was worse. It was damage on the visible end and i have no plans on putting it back on. Just look out for it! Both end will show some signs of weakness after a few weeks from the sun, rain and cold.

I love all your mods. How does that 3" downpipe and cat back sound? I bet it's nice and loud, but badass.
