What have you done to your P5 today?

[khaosman]

Man, I still can't get over how nice that FMIC looks. Are you going to keep the lower grille off?

You are gonna make me blush The stock grille didn't fit back on because of the tabs, that core is decently thick at 3.5". I might try to make a grille if it gets too filled with bugs and whatnot, but it'd be tough to make something that looks decent.

Yeah, when I got my new bumper cover on I told them to cut out all the tabs so no lower grille for me unless it's zip tie time. So how much did you have to cut away of the bumper cover? I have the MAM (I think it's 3" deep) and I had to trim some of those support tabs on the inside of the front. I just feel the MAM one is too long...

Well yesterday she passed inspection! (woohoo!) But because of the bbq meet I didn't get a chance to do anything else.
Today I have to at least make my licence plate bracket (I'm not going to push my luck with a 5+ hr trip w/ state troopers around)

I woke up early-ish so I could get outside and wash the P5 before 10AM, when the water restrictions kick in. The car was sooooo Dirty. Much better now.

Sadly, I also found a BIG scuff on the corner of the front bumper. I guess someone rubbed it in a parking lot.

Finished washing mine about an hour or so ago, and now it looks like it is about to rain. Hopefully I will get around to waxing it later this week.

Badges are painted but only had time to put the Mazda and the logo badges back on. I will tape up the Protege5 badge tomorrow and get pics then also.

Unfortunately, I'm getting upset with mine still. I've tried a dozen things, and still have the short that keeps my tail lights, front amber lights, fogs, and dash lights from working.

Hmm I had a pretty good go at it with the Dremel, but there is still material there I'd say I took off about 2"

I swapped out my HKS SSQV for another SSQV, and voila, it works. Hopefully it will stay that way. It is nice to have a friend's part stash to steal from, haha (next door even!). I also took my door panel off and found my midrange driver was disconnected, so I have music again. Yay!

Mintblue's looks better IMO, but the AutoExe looks very nice. Better than stock for sure.

 

[amsgator]

i hate mintblue's. though i only saw it on a car w/ the full kit and didn't like it at all. so maybe the wing alone would be ok.

 

[Salmon_Rob]

mmm. i just dunno what to do with the 3rd brakelight

Use the wiring to create a neater one in the back window. One that displays messages to those behind you would be cool.

 

[Salmon_Rob]

hahah BACK THE **** OFF. SRSLY

 

[THE Phen]

hahah BACK THE **** OFF. SRSLY

Or even more creative.

Don't get this close without giving a reach around!

I dunno. Programmable LCD screen in the back window. Change the message as you drive.
