LOL !

I remember those days. Man, I took some ribbing over that. Yes, I do indeed love my FD, when the motor has good compression anway

Edit: If I had one suggestion, it would be to install OEM mudflaps front and rear. Mr. Ray Crowe has them for $70 an axle right now

I would go for the red stitching on the e-brake and shift ****. And I personally like the wingless look

I felt bad having wasted some people's time in the classifieds section but they really do suit the car well. I guess you could go with the BBS RG-Rs or maybe you could PM FDNewbie about a set.

The rear emblem definitely needs replacing. I never quite took a liking to the 99 wing, and would be hesitant to drill into the hatch anyways. I was hoping to get a Mazdaspeed carbon lip on the car before the pictures were taken, but that didnt pan out. If anyone has any suggestions on what they would add/change I'd really like to hear (don't worry about being too negative, it's just feedback).

Awesome pics! Looks like the oil cooler needs some ducting, you can see miscellaneous crap through the gap... Just being nitpicky though.

Dayum!! I need to see this awesome car in person. Agree with Quicksilver about the red stitching on the shift/brake boots. Here's a pic of the boots on my yellow Miata.

IMO the OEM sideskirts only look good if the car is wearing wider wheels with a deep lip, front and back, which the Spirit-R wheels dont have. Otherwise, I think the impression given is that the wheels are 'sunken in'. RX7Rage's car looks really good with those skirts because of his offset.

Just curious, does anyone like the OEM titanium shift **** and e-brake handle?

The digital camera the photographer used was simply incredible, apparently having twice the resolution of regular 35mm film. All the images had to be reduced a lot. To give an idea of the resolution it was capable of, zooming in on one small section of the picture you posted yields this.
