Here are the links to the pics of donny's car. Great looking car I might add, love the color.
Let's see how long I last until my personal webspace starts sending my death threats

the color is an actual factory Mazda color. Its called "dark titanium metallic" or "dark shadow gray on the Fords" It is a color option off of the 2003 Mazda Tribute SUV, believe it or not. As soon as the black carpet gets here I can re-install the interior. I dyed all of the tan panels black and are going to have the seats re-covered this winter in black leather and maybe some small charcoal inserts. Then the motor is getting re-built, polished, and I am going with a single set-up, probably a TO4S or similar. I had the Apexi kit on my last FD and loved it, spooled as quick as the twins, but I want low 400rwhp this time. Apexi kit was making 355rwhp at 14.5psi on a non-ported motor..

absolutly gorgeous. Did I mention that it was gorgeours. That is exaclty what I want to do to my car. I think its great that you took the time to do it right. That color is perfect. Did you paint it yourself in your garage? to bad your in MN, I would have loved to help, then we could have done my car next. 
I give you props. Is the front bumper and rear wing genuine mazda. Looks great, I get sick of all the riced out FD's, I think that car looks beter than almost all FD's.

I started this project about 3 months ago and I would have been done 1 month ago if the carpet would ever show up. I have a lot more pics if I could just figure out how to down size them so they will post. I guess I about 1k in materials for the paint and supplys. I did everthing in my garage but rented a paint booth to spray the exterior of the car. I wanted to do it the right way that is why I gutted the interior and painted that too. Even though you will never see it, I know its not red and wont be if a panel is ever removed. i will do the rest of the engine bay this winter.. I will post more pics as I complete the car. I have some Apexi side skirts on the way, they were the least rice looking I could find and the closest to the OEM Mazda, but way less money...

you can post all your pics here http://briefcase.yahoo.com and then just post the link. THis is the easiest if you don't have web space.
By the way, if you ever come to Chicago with your car i would love to see it.
Later

awesome job! Where did you learn to spray. Did someone help you? I would just like to get mine repainted in the stock red just to get rid of the rock chipped front end that it had when I bought it.
By the way. Where in MPLS? I grew up there. Now I am one hour north of LA. Do you go to Midway ever?
