2006 mazda5 sport
I just wanna say hi to all the members in here.
I bought the 2006 blk mazda5 sport in October for my wife and 8 month old baby girl. They love their new car for their shopping sprees and outings. My wife picked this car because of its sporty look and side sliding doors for our little princess! As for me, I did a little bit of modification like;

Hella airhorn, stock horn wasn't doin't!
HID Kit, just gotta have it.
OEM Fog, getting ready to custumize it with HID, also!
Tint 5% rear and 15% frnt side, so that way my little girl doesn't have to squint.
Spray blk tint on the marker light, so it blends in with the looks.
Painted the emblems frt & rear glossy blk with clear coat and took the mazda5 emblem out, just to make it look simple.

I'll put the pics up when I get a chance, aight! later.:)

Did you remove the emblems before painting? If so, how?

Very nice look!

Yes, The back is just a double sided tape you can use a fishing line for this and
the front has 2 screws behind the emblem after you take the srews there are clips from top&bottom, side to side. Best way to do this is remove the whole bumper.
 
What color temp are the HIDs? From the top (garage door shot), they look cool, but in the head on shots, they look warmer.

Certainly a matter of personal taste, but I think itd look sweet if you could figure out how to get your taillight assembly apart, and paint the matte silver pieces black, leaving the shiny trim immediately around the lights silver. That would probably look amazing, but thats just my personal thought.

The car looks fabulous, keep up the great work ;)
 
Welcome and nice ride. You have beat me to many of the mods on my todo list.

Curious, how much did it cost you to have the holes filled where the "MAZDA" badge was?

Looks Good!!!! And what jandree22 said about the rear lenses. That was the first thing I thought of, something to tint or tone down the rear lights.

Anyways, keep it up, it is nice to see your attention to detail.

Keep Zooming

Thanks for the compliment, the holes are still there you could hardly see it thats why I'm leaving it alone.

wow i feel like all i've been typing about this morning is bulbs but...have you considered replacing your fogs to match your HID's color? Or maybe yellow? I do love what you've done with it though. Oh and i also agree about the tail lights..but rather than paint them just order the ones that come on the 2007 grand touring. all black.
Once again it looks great!
