Late Summer FD pics (including AST change)
hey all... I just went over to the park this weekend, and took some pics before fall rolls through. I also just completed my aluminum AST install. Thanks to all that helped. Wasn't that bad. Who wants a spare AST??? 
I might keep it till the Aluminum one busts in half
Enjoy.

Just a heads up on the simple green cleaning stuff, and the purple power too.....it will eat away at your aluminium. If you spray it on wash, wash, wash. It will soften powder coating as well. Car looks awsome ! ! ! !

thanks everyone... paint is all original, 13 years old So I guess to answer your question, Mazda did the paint
I do plan on repainting the mirrors and spoiler next year. Anyone else notice some slight, slight oxidation/fading around those areas? It seems the plastic pieces fade, but the metal parts don't... weird.
