Latest pics of the car. New look for the front end.
Here are two pics I took of the car today. I wanna know what you think about the front end. Im sure there are some people out there that are going to hate it and im sure there are some people that are going to love it like me. Plus I just felt like posting some pics so there they are.

To bad the lip doesn't sit flush with the rest of the body.

Yeah, I would've personally gone with leaving more front bumper in place. Maybe it'll be more appealing when the car is painted.
Love the IC though.

WOW! Your car looks amazing! I think you did a perfect job opening up the front bumper - and it's not too much at all!!
Do you have any pics of your engine bay, other than your signature pic?

Grill craft is stupid!!
Wax the rear bumper, thats the only thing anyone is going to see
Nice job with the greddy FMIC let us know if there is any power gain with the increased cooling?

Yo,
Looks great! As always, your car is on the short list for "TII's I would own."
I'd be interested to see what it looks like with the factory Mazda S5 lip vs. the FEED copy. The nice thing about the FEED is you can use those ducts for the front brakes because your stock ones are all full of IC piping.
As always, looks and goes great!

That thing definately makes a statement. I still have the vid of it doing 11.8 at the track and it sounds like a mad bee.
Did you increase the exit area for the cooling airflow? Ie an exit scoop in the hood? This will help your cooling even further if not yet implemented.

looks great man!
how far is Reading from North NJ?
i guess you had to remove the foam bumper reinforcements? I always wanted to cut the FEED mouth in the molding (to go with the lip) but still am not sure if I should, haha...
