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.

 

I hate you. not the car. YOU!!!
I love the car. I think thats why I hate you

 

Have you considered putting a wire mesh grill over the opening?

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

 

No mesh for me. Looks too ricey IMO, I dont drive the car that much to have to worry about a whole bunch of **** getting in there?

Lip doesnt sit flush? The cars getting all the body work done along with a new paint job in 3 weeks. So any improfections you see I assure will gone in a month.

 

Are you going to keep the body moulding the same colour?

 

looks ****** aggressive as hell....maybe the opening is a little too big..

To late to change that

 

*edit* What kind of rims do you have?

 

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.

 

Im going to paint the car like the S5 were painted with all the moulding the same color as the car.

The rims are ADR Enigma's. Im getting new wheels also I might add.

 

The more air you get through that thing the better. I like it, and think it will owrk very well.

 

wow, that front end is amazing, id probly pull over if i saw that thing in my mirror..

nice car, love the way the endtanks are hidden and you just see the piping on the sides

Exactly. Ever since I cut the bumper the water temp hasn't risen above 180degs. and my intake temps went down 5degs.

 

Reminds me of something...

 

I guess you removed the bumper behind it? I should cut mine up higher. I probbably couldn't go very far with the bumper could I?

 

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?

 

Heres a bigger pic of the one in my sign. is there anything in particular you were wanting to see?

 

Nothing in particular - I just love your engine bay because it's very clean and very simple!

 

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?

 

Nicw work...me like

 

Looks great, but even better is that it provudes all that fresh air now. Nice engine bay also. Damn, just a nice ride.

 

I think Im going to attempt to clean out my engine bay like that. Already over half way there.

 

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!

looks good!

 

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...
