my first mod/fix

hi guys i finally got alittle work done to my car, there was a good sized dent directly under the mazda logo on the right rear corner of the car, so i sanded it down and patched it with some bondo, while i was at it i also filled the holes for the badge and painted my tail lights to look similar to the one's on a 10ae. if these pics attach right i hope you guys will share your opinion thanks.

Not for sure if I'm diggin' the white on the taillights, but the workmanship looks pretty good.

Good job

no unfortunately i don't, it was about the the size of a fist in diameter, maybe 1/4" deep. right where the old mazda badge was.

2 reasons i painted the taillights, i dig the 10ae style, and my black surround had a million little cracks in the top plastic. it looked horrible, so for 3 bucks worth of paint and 20 minutes worth of sanding and taping they are unique now.

i'm not really caring about small dents just big ones. way more time and effort needs to be spent on the handling and motor before i'll even think about the body, i need a new front bumper, i think a previous owner attempted drifting it hit a curb. i'll post some pics up of all that craziness another time when i start to deal with it

Nice work man. I haven't been able to get a 7 yet, but seeing other people enjoying them has it's own level of satisfaction. Riverside f00. I never even went that far North when I was in Cali.
