For the record, I hate you.
 
Installed my Car_Led tail lights...F*cking Love them! Best Mod Ever...now I need to paint the emblem....Looks out of place all chrome and s***
 
I bought a can of plasti dip to do the emblems...looks kinda weird with the chrome Mazda Sign...Dude its a 100+ outside...I want to wash it first. Anyone know how hard it is to take off the emblems?

dental floss works great for this. best to do it on a hot day like today!
 
New tail lights look awesome, they really go well with the 2 black bumper pieces where the exhaust is plus the lip kit. Notice it's all flat black too, which looks pretty sweet :).

And sure I'll explain! So basically mask off the area you're spraying (i.e the emblem), clean it... prep it... blah blah blah. DO NOT sand it or take it off, just spray right over the emblem and onto the paint of your car (don't worry!) Do a couple coats, let it dry (about an hour or so) and you can literally peel off the paint off the body of your car and it should brake where the emblem is. See pics:

Those are the basic steps :D
 
Cracked window yesterday. Got replacement this morning but not back to stock as the glass does not go to the edge. The window was cheap but I'm thinking of having them fix it.

Edit: OK, window guy says that there is a rain channel for the window all the way around. I'm looking at my stock window (pics) and I see no gap. What do others have? Pics would be great.

106 outside....dont think I can do it today....lol

I would recommend making sure your trunk is washed, or even better waxed, the plasti-dip should peel off better than way. 106 is too hot I'd agree.

they probably replaced it with a regular 6 windshield, check and see if your vin number on the dash lines up with the windshield.
 
Went to dealer and had them look. The VIN is visible. It was hard to read with my original glass. I'm guessing that it was placed high originally. Sucks had to replace it but now I have no pits and a clean view. I did get a great deal on it.
 
Washed yesterday and thoroughly cleaned the wheels. Today was a full clay, polish, and wax; the first one of the season. Six hours later, Julie is looking phenomenal. I'm going to Back to Black the trim, Rain-X the windows, and tire shine the tires tomorrow. I'm thinking a photo shoot is in order tomorrow evening.

Also, I finally hit the 30 MPG mark on my last tank! The low-fuel light didn't come on until 417 miles. (alright)
