What have you done to your P5 today?

Painted the stock strut bar white today and I have to say it looks great. Now I just have to paint the intake tubing to match as well as the heat shield black.

I also haven't heard back from the chick on the forums that sold me her header. The money went through on the 20th and I haven't heard from her at all. She said she would ship it this past saturday. Here's the link to the thread. I'm not sure what to do. Any advice?

well she had one post so probly not the best choice on your part but who knows, it will probly show up
 
Yea I usually don't do that but the chick seemed legit. Proper pics, normal profile with all info, and her foor in one of the pictures. If I have to, I'll track her ass down and get that header myself. Or my money. I'm not kidding either. First I'll call every number in the white pages with the name on the paypal account and when I find out which one she is, I'll drive to her house. lol
 
In the last week I've done my oil change, hung the last of my Corksport exhaust hangers and got the car passed through state inspection.
 
So a couple weeks ago, on the 14th, my MAF crapped itself for no apparent reason. Cleaned the EGR and changed the plugs before I disconnected the maf and my erradic idle/stalling problem stopped. So $145 later, swapped me in a "new" remanufactured maf from autozone. In hind-sight, should have just got a new maf from onlinemazdaparts for ~170ish. Ah well.

So, new MAF, new plugs, and clean EGR valve :)
 
Yo, laser mp5! You gonna be at Mazdapalooza? Coming in October to Classic Mazda! I'll be up with quite a few Proteges in tow
 
Anyways, throwing out the idea, but, when I get my headlights back from Chico, i'm tempted to start painting headlights.

You send me $250, i ship you my current black'd out headlights for you to swap, you ship me your current chromed lights, i refund $200, and i keep your lights to do for the next guy.

What's your thoughts on that? I know it's an easy job of painting, but, figured there are people out there that d

Depending on reaction, i'll see how many people want to do this if it would need me to be AV or whatever. If so, i probably won't do it, unless i get PM's asking for it
 
lol I hope you can find people willing to do that. The hardest part of the whole project is getting your headlights off. Once people get that done I doubt they'll mind about the rest of it.
 
You'd be suprised. Most people that don't want to tackle the job are affraid of baking rather than the mechanical work of removing the bumper/headlights.

I just figured I'd throw it out there.
 
The only thing that kind of sucks about that is depending how busy your "business" becomes it may become both a hassle and a burden to continue swapping out headlights on your car. I'd perhaps start with an extra set from the beginning that way you'll always have one "in stock" and your car won't have to be taken apart every other day.
 
I've got a set of projector lights in process from Chicoloco, so as soon as i get them from him, i'll have a "spare" set

Thanks for the tip though

Have Chicoloco mail me your projectors, I will send you my painted lights for nothing. Please no thanks, it's the least I could do to help you get the business off the ground. hehe
 
Right'O Mate! What was your address??

1269 Inyourdreams Blvd
Dontcha Wish, PA?
 
Hmmm got pissed off today since the girl hasn't emailed me back about the header so I did a reverse email search on her. Yay for the internet. Got her full name, facebook, myspace, pic and the whole shbang. Let's hope I don't have to get the po-po involved in this.

Am I going a little bit overboard? Yes. Would I hate being out of $130? Yes. They both cancel each other out.
