Yeah, they are a very nice wheel.. ended up getting 6 of them for $300
.. I guess it was a lot of work to sandblast them down to get powder-coated.. but very much worth it!

This one makes me feel all warm and mushy inside. It's cute.

Where did you get them?
Bought them second hand. Had them sandblasted and powder-coated.

Fixxed, didn’t notice I posted up 2 of the same picture.
Hey all, just picked up my 2 a couple weeks ago. I also have a 2006 3 (which my wife is now driving, as she has a shorter commute than I do) so I spend a good amount of time over on ************, but I'll probably hang out here for all of my 2 info. Haven't done a ton to the car yet -- CX-7 stubby antenna, rear bumper guard -- but I have a Demio badge on the way and will be getting the windows tinted in a couple of weeks.
Here's a pic from the night I brought the car home:
EDIT: LOL, apparently it's not kosher to refer to "competing" Mazda forums?

Now you know why I said what I said on the "other" forums, lol.
Snapped a few pics after the first round of free mods 
If no one has done it yet, even if you just do it for S&G, unbolt the muffler. I did it expecting horrible weedwhacker noises but was PLEASANTLY surprised by a sound very familiar. Must be the combination of the cat and small OEM resonator, but the car sounds A LOT like my turbo 1.6 in the Miata. It's much much deeper sounding than I would have ever imagined. It's a little loud inside but it's not too bad!! (I stuck a muffler on but liked it better no muffler lol).
Short vid with straight through (one in, 2 out) muffler:

Anyways, onto the pics.
Recent mods:
-tinted the sidemarkers and rear reflectors
-blacked out mazda emblem on steering wheel (sun reflections drove me nuts!), front/rear emblems, removed the MAZDA 2 badging, will be ordering a DEMIO badge
-titanium muffler from an M3 with dual black tips (lost 7lbs here woohoo)
Still have a few small mods that I want to do but my Miata is the one draining all of my money

Beautiful! Are there holes behind the "Mazda 2" emblem, or is it just stuck on there?
Thank you! There are 2 staggered holes with little plastic retainers
I was so peeved when I discovered that. I don't know why they must drill holes, I think it'd be impossible for that emblem to fall off in the next 10 years with that crazy tape holding it on!!! The "2" has no holes FWIW.Just uploaded the no muffler video. It sounds like an SRT-4 neon but slightly higher pitched as revs go up. I even got a few burbles and a nice POP cruising around a parking lot in way low rpms

As much as I disliked the red one in the showroom when I got mine, it's growing on me. I see a lady driving one everyday on my way to/from work. Besides the red I've seen one other white 2. Doesn't seem like there's too many around me! I've waved to the ones I saw.... Which resulted in no response or a funny look haha. Oh well.
