That looks so much better. I think we all hate that orange side marker. It would have been so simple for mazda to make it clear to match the fender mounted turn signal.

Oh well at least it gives us something to do.

(RTM) do those just pop off with force? or should I unscrew something from the back?

flathead screwdriver to pop them out. 2003newlyack, looks good. Did mine with the same stuff.

Don't even need a screwdriver. If you grab hold of it, you will either be able to slide it toward the front of the car or the rear of the car and then kinda come out.

The front sidemarker (on the bumper, not the fender) you will need some sort of tool I would imagine. When I painted mine (silver so that they are barely noticeable.. but don't light up anymore) I had the bumper off so just did it that way.
 
Put my stock dunlops back on... Winterforces came off... (finally)

195/50 is a heck of a lot smaller than 205/55

HUGE wheel gap(omg)

Got the part and dropped it off today. Hopefully the guy can work on it tonight so I can get her back. Then I have to kill 200 miles or so breaking in the clutch before I get to have some fun :(

Got her back and hugged her. I'm diggin' the new mods but killed it twice, haha. The clutch engages so much faster and harder. I'm going to drive it around a bunch tomorrow so I can get it the beans and see what the LSD is all about :D
 
yeah the ones on the front bumper are a pain to get off and put back on.. the side markers (clear) are way easier to do, exactly like kanseizm described, they push towards the back of your car, and then twist the bulb out and they're free.

Where are you in Canada? all the NEPOC people complaining about all they rain they've been getting too and in the great lakes region (at least lake ontario region) there hasn't been anything in at least a week or so. It's been unseasonably warm and sunny for the most part.

does look like it'll rain today though.
 
Installed custom battery tie down and oil cap I got from Mark(bazooka joe). Pics when I get outta work! (glare)
 
(redp5) ha ha.. it's not raining in Alaska!! (nuts)
 
^^^ Fight nice kids.

It is supposed to start raining here sometime today and go until Monday...I hate rain, at least it will wash the pollen off. Next nice weekend I have to do a full detail job.

I used the P5 to run over my daughters scooter recently, the scooter won.
Bulb on the garage door opener burned out the other day and she left her scooter in the middle of the garage. I got home late, it was dark and I always back in so I didn't se it lying on the floor. Scrape, thunk. I have a nice mark on the bumper. Straightened out the handle bars on the scooter and it's good to go.
Gotta love your kids!
