Ehhh...added weight, and probably ruining all of Mazda's carefully tunned aerodynamics.

But to each his own!

Lot's of sanding and tweaking to be done yet. Your gonna be busy.

You probably could have saved yourself a lot of sanding and stuff if you had taken more time, and been neater with the fiberglass.

its kind of hard to take time. because this stuff drys fast and alot of it was not sticking. i think fiber glass would make it lighter. but i dont know and allso we are taking out everything behind it. all we need is water.
