Thanks! Don't worry about being called rice...Unless you go and slap on a big wing or somthing..as long as its simple such as rims or front skirt its fine. Of course going fast is always better!


jr69187,
The front skirt is from Mazda, it came as a kit but i found it in a junkyard. Now its a very rare piece, but theres many other styles out there too. Yes it does come from the strip down... Heres a closer pic

Looks differenet to me.. The Mariah one looks like ***, i think. But this one actually looks good. Hell maybe it is just the pics. I have seen the mariah one in person, and i really don't like them.

Would still like to know the name of the front..

His front bumper is the GTU style factory option. Mazda offered it as an extra. They are getting really hard to find but there are fiberglass copies floating around. Mazdatrix has them but their shipping charges are absolutely insane.
