OK, so a while back my rear lip spoiler started to come off and i noticed the clunk and i found the coolant leak, right were everyone elses is. So they replaced my rear lip spoiler with a newer model one(nicer too) and it doen't stay on with double sided tape, its bolted on(brackets and such) so thats all good.But now were the old one was it kind of moved around and scratched the paint, so they told me there not gonna let me have the car till its perfect so there either gonna buff out them scratches or repaint wich is fine with me. About the clunk they replaced the bushing. And for all you people that think putting a "worm clamp" or whatever on to fix that coolant leak, well its a temp. fix...there was acually a casting flaw in the metal hose piece that the rubber hose meets with, so they are replaceing that too. I asked them about the flash and they said they have done it before, but i told them not to worry about it cause i have not had any hesitation really. SO all is well SO FAR with my dealer.I also mentioned to them about all the other problems that you people from here were haveing..but so far they said they only had peolple come in for the clunk n hesitation. And i asked them about mods and basically they said i can do whatever but if mazda can relate ne mods to something that went wrong i would be screwed..so i guess the intstall and take off method is the way to go if yer gonna bring yer car in. I also took out a Rx-8, thats a sweet ride, there is a mazdaspeed rx-8 comeing out next year sometime too and they were sayin things about a turbo too and i've seen the pictures of it..its really nice compared to the stock rx-8.The rx-8 is a really nice ride and I may be trading my car in for one.

That's how the '03 rear lip is attached. :)
 
NICE! I am possibly waiting for a Mazdaspeed RX-8 too, I hope I can keep the P5 too but I might have to trade her in towards the 8...
 
If the Mazdaspeed Rx-8 is what i saw a picture of..i def want one...all i gotta do is trade in my ride and throw down some cash...

The Mazdaspeed RX-8 is NOT announced for any kind of production. That picture is just of a prototype for SEMA. They are currently offering Mazdaspeed parts for the RX-8 but only appearance wise. Nothing has been mentioned of a turbo either. I know, I work for Mazda.
