My 2007 Phantom Blue Mazda3 Sedan - Updated May 13th!

While I am not incredibly active on this forum I thought that it might be nice to give you folks an idea of what I have been doing to my car. I have a thread like this opened on the forum I am active on... but I really wanted to share this with everyone here too in an attempt to be more active. If anyone has any comments, they would be greatly appreciated!

nice color

and the home depot lip looks pretty awesome, i might try that with my car if i cant get a p5 or msp front bumper
 
your car is beautiful, nice work! i remember seeing that color online and thinking it was disgusting - then i saw it at the dealer when i bought my car, and i was quite impressed. your skills behind a camera are impressive, too!

~js
 
Thanks so much guys.. I am quite happy with how it is coming along. =D
 
tiiiight...that front lip looks ghetto as hell hehe, you can really tell in some of the pics..what kind of camera do you use..wow
 
Eh, ghetto or not I like it a lot. =)

I have a Canon EOS Digital Rebel.
 
It's either that or silver. Can't beat silver, even when silver is dirty, still looks somewhat clean, The only thing I regret about making the middle of my hood black is I have to constantly dust it off, or detail it. thats the only issue with this color im thinking of, but it is more appealing to me than the silver.
 
Yeah and also silver is much more photogenic I've found.

I have to say though... my Phantom Blue does VERY well at concealing dirt compared to my mother's black Jeep.
