Pics of my FD FINALLY!

Took some pictures yesterday afternoon before it rained. Parked it in a field by my house. They badly need to cut the grass. I guess I was going for the wild safari look! Tell me what you think thanks

HAHHA I live in New Orleans. The field is next to this ghetto corner, but I live in a really nice house 3 blocks over. Just the only OPEN space in my area (besides parks which I can't drive on the grass) which I could think of putting it in grass. Sorry about the ghetto Pics!

If you look at the picture of it in my driveway you can see my street is not ghetto. haha

Mabye you can help me out with this because I had that lip put in right after I bought the car. When I bought the car it had that little 1/2 inch gay lip on it, but I bought this one from mazda and put it one. Which lip is that? You can probally see it best in the picture in my driveway. Thanks

Yes I am with Marine Forces Reseve. I am active duty though

I bought the rims beacuse of 2 reasons: 1, they are 17x9.5 in the back and I wanted a good amount of tread on the ground and 2, I love the big *** lip!

Can anyone tell me what front lip/spoiler that is?

Hey, well they do look better than your old rims...car looks good..I washed mine on Sun--then it drizzled...So I washed her on Mon and gave her some wax! I'll have to post some pics!
You need to stop by the Lakefront one day and take some pics of her--I have a better camera than the one your using so it will look better!

PS when are you going to try and fix the tach again?....Have you tried to get the cover off again yet?

I have been loking for a new gauge hood so when I rip off the old one I can replace it with a new one. I think I found one the other day, but I just need to convince the guy to sell it without the front gauge plastic. He wants to sell them as a set. I JUST WANT THE HOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You need to see the rims in person. I will give you a call later in the week.

Definately not an Mazda OEM lip (Stock, R1, or 99)! From what I can tell from the pics it looks to be a Racing Beat product (http://www.racingbeat.com/FRmazda3.htm). Look at the pull down menu, under Fiberglass.

Ahhh It may be racing beat because when I was putting on my racing Beat Dual the rx7 shop guy was like" you should put on a new lip on this car. It makes it look more aggressive. I can order one for you." I figured he was talking about the R1 lip when he said it so I had him order it. He must have gotten it from RB. I figured he ordered it from Mazda. Thanks

It's really hard to tell from your pics.
