Thanks. Very much appreciated!. She'll be in her first car show in late March. BY then the Brembo's, Center Speaker Gauge Pod will be installed and most Engine components will be polished. So far the only FD to enter. Wish "us" luck.

I took those photos at one of the Parks on Ocean Drive here in Corpus. So the car was parked on the grass, which obvoiusly makes the lip seem pretty low.

On the other photos taken outside my garage, you can see the lip is about 3.5 inches above the pavement.

I might be selling it in the far, distant future, if the price is right, but not ready to entertain offers yet. Thanks .

No, Its worse here in Maryland.
Here we get 98-100 plus 100% humidity and no coastal breeze like you have.
Trust me the weather here is aweful.

Took it out for a spin today and it felt the same at 142mph than it did with the Racing Harts (40mm off set also) it had before. Although the RPO2s are much lighter.

Thanks. My oldest son (18) wants me to put a body kit on it but I think the FD should keep it's factory look.

IMO It would be like putting a body kit on a Ferrari or a Diablo Lamb. Why mess with perfection. Then again, I'm not 18 any more. Just my .02 worth.

BTW....I'm not stating that an FD with a body kit doesn't look good

Thanks Bro. I think some Fds, depending on the Kit, Look pretty awesome. I just really like the look of the stock exterior. So she's staying that way!!

nemesis that's cuz you put the wrong body kit on!
LOL Stock does look awesome, most bodykits take away from it you have to look for those that enhance the look like 99 spec or Mazdaspeed are my favorite
