yes at the bottom of the bumper in the middle..

 

[rar40941]

Ya I was thinking about painting that black idk though

 

[JDM_Pro5]

Plastidip is temporarily permanent. What I mean by that is, you spray it on, if you like it, you can keep it forever without worrying about sun damage, water damage, etc. If you hate it, it peels off easily. $6 at the hardware store

Ya **** it I will do it

I just did the whole top of my car

the roof? how did it come out as far as gloss? ive only used the matte finish wondering how the gloss compares to real paint.

For all you low guys... You need to look into this mod for your garage...

 

[rar40941]

I want it lol

 

[CRG Racer24]

Hahaha I fkn love that

I think you should camber the front more to match the rear. Poke is cool and all but it looks mismatched with the way the rear is

this, just looks like its not finished the way it sits.

I didn't use gloss. People were suggesting it would look better if it was gloss. I used two cans of matte

Ok slammed gods. I humbly come to you as a follower from a far but am now ready to slam the ish out of my Mazda5. I just ordered some YellowSpeed coilovers to lower but it's the other stuff like spc adjustable camber plates and end links etc.. That me being a Newbie at slamming don't understand. I wanna make sure that I get everything I NEED to slam the ish out this car and still be able to drive it everyday to work. I don't wanna ruin tires or the car so what do I need besides coilovers to make this work??? I apologize Slam gods for my insolence and I look forward to making you proud after my post install pics. Help!!!!! Thx! Here she is pre-slam.

Make sure your coilovers have camber plates in the front, then you will need the SPC camber arms in the rear to get more camber (depending on your wheel setup). Just make sure you get an alignment and they set the toe to factory specs, as incorrect toe will kill your tires (not camber).

Chris just spoke lol. And Chris is right. Dude u don't have to call us slammed gods ok it's bit much there.

Thanks! Yeah the coilovers have Camber plates for the front. I guess I'll order the camber arms too now. What about Spacers? I see some have different size in back and front. I was gonna go 10mm all around. Is that ok? What's the reason to go different sizes? Sorry but I'm a total newb to drop/slam.

If you order your wheels with the right spec, then you won't need spacers. Anything over 8mm requires bolt-on spacers or extended studs

I plan on keeping the RX-8 rims I have on. I just wanted a more aggressive look with the spacers. So 10mm front and back is fine? Or should I do like 10 back 5 front?

Depends on how much camber you run and how low you go.
