The FrankenMazda Project

[FrankenMazda3]

I know what you mean the drivers in Huntsville are BAD! This is how it is daily, They wait at a green light for 5sec maybe more until they go. About 3 or 4 people run red lights all the time. They merge into your lane or they don't pay attention to what's going on around them and hit someone. I drive around all these idiots just so I don't have to deal with it anymore. I see so many accidents it's crazy. My sister just got hit today by someone who shouldn't even be driving a manual. They killed there car and it hit my sister's GTI. They ******* drove off!! it's bs man I HATE this city and all the drivers in it.

But Yeah I am very excited to do some cosmetic work on my baby tomorrow. Just need the green paint I have everything else. I will get the photos up once I get back home from being with my girlfriend. I wonder if I can move the 3 to be somewhere else?? maybe just maybe.

I cant wait to see it man. I thought about doing blue accents with my red

 

[FrankenMazda3]

That would be cool! What do you think about moving the 3 so it is under where it says Mazda in the back?

 

[Alcohol1511]

Thats unique, I dont think I have seen any like that

 

[FrankenMazda3]

Well man I think I shall do that!

looking good. are you gonna get your wheels painted too?

 

[FrankenMazda3]

No just my calipers green as well.

 

[Alcohol1511]

Man that looks sweet. I can't wait till I paint mine

 

[FrankenMazda3]

Thanks it was a lot of fun doing that.

 

[FrankenMazda3]

Well I decided to take them all off and add more paint and do clear coat to make them look all nice and shiny. Also I'm moving the 3 over to the other side. Will have some pics up when I'm all done with it.

One another note. I'm gonna switch out the front grill insert from the current one to the Mazdaspeed 3 one. I think it will make it look a lot better than the current one. I just hope it fits!

I would have gone with a darker green is the first thing that came to my mind. But then I remembered the shot ton of adjustments I had to make to my camera to get the true green on my rims. It's honestly on of the hardest colors to capture IMO. So with that being said, it looks pretty damned sweet!

 

[FrankenMazda3]

Well how about these photos with a much better camera.

 

[FrankenMazda3]

The difference is about 6 more coats of green and 6 coats of clear to make it look shiny
