Hood is a knightsport replica from VIS racing, fitment is great!

Looks good dude. Since your paint looks flawless, you should look into getting some sideskirts, like apexi or oem. It will really complete the look.

Those wheels look great! I like the 10" in the back. I wish I had more garage space. I'd love to have another FD.

Give me your hood. Just do it.

Seriously, looks great.

Look out for that MSpd6 if he drives it in the summer. Word is they are having some overheating issues. I can't imagine why. After all, they used a topmount intercooler that draws air from the nose.

i'll check for the mazdaspeed6 .. we got it in november 2005 and its been a great car so far.

I wont paint the hood, its carbon fiber, it looks great ... i wasnt sure at the beginning about the hood, but the idea has grown on me... i think it definately looks fantastic and aggressive.

Thanks a lot guys for the good comments,

Max

Did the 265's fit nicely on the 10 inch wheel? I was going to put some 275's on instead because I was thinking that the 10 inch wheel would make it look a little drifter looking.... i'm using a **** monitor right now and cant get a good look until I get my LCD
