molded undercarriage?
Hey guys,
I am missing my molded under carriage piece that fits up under the engine compartment on my third gen. Does anyone have one for sale, or know of where I can get one, or another solution,
Thanks,

Best bet is to find a used one. If you cann't borrow a friends and make it out of fiberglass. You won't be able to totally remake it but it would be better than nothing. I was going to make some out of carbon fiber, but I decied not to after seeing all the stuff on the engine side of the panel. I haven't had one on my car in for ever and for some reason remembered them being more flat, guess not.

The headlights are just 2 sets of catz driving lights. I removed the stock bulb assembly, made a "shelf" out of fiberglass and mounted the lights. You have to hack up the stock fiberglass headlight housing pretty bad to get the light up close the lid. Ligths have to be manually raised and lowered. It's not street driven so I don't mind. If you want up close pictures I can take some.

Maybe I could put some eyelashes on it as well!
I've always wanted to see someone do a "female" 3rd gen that had the ***** of a bull underneath. Would make a great daily driver for my wife, maybe even get me on Letterman!

If you figure out a way let me know.
Mazda screwed us with the headlight motor they do a complete 360 not just up and down. If it where just up and down a shorter connecting rod would have solved the problem. Somebody makes a control module for flip up lights but it was like 300 dollars so I choose the manual route.

Looks like the stock undercarriage can be bought at Mazda Motorsports.
