i didnt thnk the AIT kit was bad, theres worse out there.. yeah the only bad part about the ait kit was the trimming required for the lense, and they dont fit 100% but other than that, for the price it aint bad.

You better put my Mazdaspeed scoop to good use Jesse.
Are you the one who bought the RE scoop on ebay a few days ago? And is that a FinishLine spoiler in your last pic??

thanks... but to me, this car is nothing compared to my orange fc.. i like the wheels more than the ones on my orange car, and how low it is (i only had drop springs on the coupe)..but everything else about the orange one i love a million times more... although, the convertible aspect of it really is growing on me!

Those wheels are Group CV's not GR-C's.

Car look aight..The kit is going to dwarf those 17's..they look good from the rear angle shot.

nope good sir! you are incorrect!! they are volk GR-C's! the group cv from what i can tell is a 2-piece wheel ,and the center caps look nothing like mine! google both and look at them!

Looks good so far . Any verdict on color yet? A deep metallic purple liek you mentioned in the OP would be hotness.
