Looks beautiful man . Im only confused about a couple things though...

Why is there only one power window switch, and why are there chrome wiper blades?

relax... yes it is.

Unless of course someone went through the trouble of installing a 13b and the GSL-Se wheels on a 12a body.

Yeah, you are missing your passenger window switch on the center console.

As for the badges being switched, that seems to happen every time someone repaints a car. Mine are switched (GSL) after the full paint job. Maybe the MAZDA badge was broken, because it was never placed back on after paint.

Welcome to the SE club!

Little things, like the GSL-SE badge on the front left instead of the rear left, and the missing switch, are easy corrections.

Looks like a good purchase. If I may, I suggest a full RB exhaust system. It's an 'invisible' mod that keeps the car looking and sounding stock while unleashing a demonic, passionate power akin to a librarian enthusiasticaly enjoying her first good, hard ****.

Hey Otaku,

Good buy... I personally never trust anything that says "mint condition" on e-bay, but if it truly is a GSL-SE in good condition, my best to you. Search the thread for "another mint fb"... it's worth a good laugh.

(off Manntis' post) I've always liked the quiet, bookworm style girls hehe

Very nice, nice price, too. Looks like a decent repaint from the photos... If I could find another cheap SE, I'd keep the one I got stock, and mod the **** out of the cheap one...

Yeh - the term "Mint" no longer has any meaning - I see the guy noted the overall shape as fair to good.

anyway, for the price, looks like a deal - nice job.
