So I've been working on making this car a little more personal ove the last 8 months or so.

Specs:
2013 Mazda2 (Obvious?)

Installed Gear:

• Double DIN w/ Pioneer AVH X3500 (Got it just for Waze)
• UltraGauge
• Coverking Neoprene Custom Seat Covers (Red/Black)
• Multiple emergency lighting. Still a WIP.
• Black and Red Steering Wheel
• 30% Side and Rear Tint, 70% Front Tint (Best I could buy, cant even feel heat)

Everything I did for the most part is hand-done. (I'm sure it looks crappy and obvious.)

• Red Accented Black OEM Hubcaps. (Not getting high quality wheels with winter coming up)
• Painted the Honeycomb Lattice in the AC Vents.
• Painted the Grille Honeycomb and Foglight Honeycombs.
• Painted Emblems with Red Chrome.
• Painted Exhaust with Red Chrome.
• Red Wiper Blades
• Red and Black Stubby Antennas
• Red Tire Glow.
• Red Painted Embossed Parts (Such as the Horn and various others)
• Engine compartment Red Accenting (Working on a Pic - Sorry)

Any comments or suggestions? It really is coming along. This is my first vehicle I've done any work on, so I'm looking for feedback. Thanks guys and gals.

Love it!

Love it!

Thanks man! I always get looks from other Mazda2'ers, so it's good to know it's positive and not negative haha. Have any suggestions for future painting/modding?

 

[NewfieArcher]

I like the wipers... There is something about it that just works haha. Don't mind if I steal that?

Are those some DRL's in the front bumper on either side of the license plate?

Go for it! The way I did it was by removing the blades then removing the rubber wiper. I sprayed them carefully with red enamel paint and then many layers of clear. (This was before I learned about plastidip. But I think spraying allows the wipers to retain the "bending" to conform to the window better.

This is awesome.....

Like BlueDart mentioned - are those little LED DRL's on your bumper?

 

[Medic5]

Yes, they're LEDs, for emergency response. Planning on adding more lights eventually.

 

[inspekt]

Nice work! The red mesh is an especially nice detail.

 

[Medic5]

My next idea is to have the side mirrors painted with a red gradient to OEM Silver. Need to try and find an estimate somewhere. Any thought if the red should disperse from the outside in or inside out?

I gotta say I like the unique-ness and your enthusiasm. Even the effort on the little "rivets" on your hubcaps! Good job.

 

[Andres3165]

Good job, that was a lot of hard work.

Okay so I added emergency lighting, as well as lettering and am adding the airhorns/siren in a couple days!

Yea, they definitely need an upgrade, ive been looking into some nicer (actual wheels) that would be matte black with a red ring. Not my cheap 10$ spray paint job...

Siren is in, and I replaced the standard Lock Horn, with an airhorn when you lock the car. Scares the crap out of everyone around the car. Lol.

My gauges in red might work well with your red scheme. Check it out if you haven't already.

I can help you with that too.
