Here are the rims I am saving for, 17"Tenzo DC5'S:

looks nice but you can see some overspray on the glass and the color doesn't really match with the faded paint of the car. Maybe its just the pic.

Yah I got a little overspray on the bottom left hand corner of the rear glass but that will come off pretty easy. As far as the paint matching the original paint it does match pretty well if you see it in person. That is a crappy cell phone pic. Although my existing paint is pretty old and faded. This is just till I get the whole car repainted with the new two tone paint job

Famous oranges. lol Funny thing is that Idaho gets most its potatoes from Washington. lol

Like I said. It is just the picture. As you can see it is a crappy cell phone pic and the hatch is a bit shaded so the shadow makes it look different in the pic

 

[mazdaspeed777]

So for an update if I get time over the next three days I will be fixing the cracks in the front and rear bumper and repainting, repainting the MSP lip I just got and installing, finish filling in roof grooves and repainting, and covering interior pieces with black suade. I got my work ahead of me as you can see. More pics to come

lol thanks man. Yah this is more of an appearence revamp right now. I have been focusing on the performance side for a while so it is time to give her a little face lift. But a clutch, flywheel is going to be my next performance upgrade for sure.

Update: I covered my armrest in black suede. It looks alot better in person(crappy cell phone pic):

I also got my MSP front lip and and have been working on stripping all the paint off it since all the paint on it was chipped, cracked, and faded. I tried stripping most the paint off with a paint stripper spray, then just want the easy route and busted out the pressure washer. Here it is before I started on it:

Also should be ordering side skirts soon, will keep ya updated on that

Added the finishing touchs to my hatch, a mazdaspeed badge:

Update: Got my roof ridges almost filled in. I got them filled and just have to sand and repaint. Got the front MSP lip almost done painting. Just needs another coat or two of paint and a few coats of clearcoat. Going to be ordering some fog deletes probably today. My MSP Racing Hart rims will be here tomorrow. I am sending them to get powdercoated a gloss black when I get them. I also got some forged black anodized extended lugs to go with them. Also got the cracks in my front bumper done. Now I just have to bondo and repaint. I will be posting more pics soon

At this point why not have a professional painter redo the whole car after all the body work.

That is my plan. That will be the next thing I am saving for. Either that or the equipment to paint the car my self. I just bought a set of MSP Racing Harts so dont have a lot to spend right now. I am just painting the areas that need painting my self till I can have the whole car painted professionally. If you look on my to do list on the first post that is in the list. I plan to do a two tone paint job. Top half black, and bottom half yellow.

I finished painting the lip:

And got the roof grooves filled in and ready to be sanded and painted:

Also got the cracks in my front bumper officially fixed and ready to do finish work
