Your car is why I went back to the knightsport wing Alex!!

Last time it looked pretty, and where I should have stopped modding

If I could snag a rear cover that included them, I'd make 'em my reverse lights & have a body shop fill in/delete the stock rear markers/reverse's. (of course we don't require a fog light here either, plus I think tinkering with that stuff's illegal here, but yea..)

Also, and this is only a suggestion/opinion.. it appears you've got factory rear splash guards. IMO, since you've painted the rear plastic (that's typically black - stock, below & center the bumper cover itself), plus painted the front lip to match, I think a set of factory front splash guards would help complete the flow/look. I have no idea what import costs etc. might be on something like that, but Mazda USA should currently still have 4 sets left (in VR) in stock. (given nobody's purchased a new set since the pair I recently snatched up)

One last thing - I don't think ya ever answered.. did you LED mod the gauges/dash? They definitely light up verrry uniformly.
redline is from 7k, you´re right. this is stock version manual and no gauges LED mod

Matt, your FD is insane haha. So freakin cool.

Shifty, your FD makes me wet too haha.

Actually pretty much every FD on this page is super sexy.

Got my new fenders on tonight. These are stock fenders that have been modified with a lip to make them match the rears. They don't match perfectly, but at least they're close. And my buddy Kingston is in a couple of these pics too. And of the course the last shot was just for him haha.

Thanks! Most people just think they're RPF1s, which is what I had before haha.

Thanks T!

The pics were taken on my driveway, on a slant, so the driver's rear tire/fender gap is exaggerated, and the driver's fender isn't perfect where it meets the front bumper, you might be able to see it. That's because these fenders used to belong to my roommate Et3rNaL, and it got messed up at some point on his car. And now I'll have to wetsand the crappy paint on the rest of the car to match the good paint on these fenders haha. Also, I think I'll try at least a 5mm spacer on the front and see how it looks, maybe even put on the 8mm spacers I used to have on the rear.
