I still may disconnect it when the single setup goes in soon. Yeah it's right next to the window wiper motor by the firewall. The intake will be for sale this winter as well.

Looks really clean! I love the white and black contrast and the red strut bar and battery add a nice subtle touch.

LOL! Powerhouse Amuse R1 Titanium...far from a fart can exhaust.

The Uras rear bumper lights are coming off though.

Looks real nice. I like the rear lip spoiler and roof spoiler. Kindof VIP. Wheels are dope. Not sure about the headlights, and I'm an oval-canister-exhaust guy myself. Hard to knock amuse tho.

Can the stock rear-tower trim around the x-magic bar be trimmed to fit or 3d printed? The bar is so nice, but leaves some finishing to be desired.

I looked at the trim panels briefly and it might be possible.

That rear bar is something else, it's like Visual Viagra in my book :eggplant:

How are you liking the light output?

Everyone has their opinion so I'll say mine. Car is becoming one of my fav builds along with Grand mighty's. But I can't say I'm a fan of that roof spoiler, kills the lines IMO .
Also, you should upgrade the emblems to the Flying M. More updated than the toilet bowl one

he has the Efini on the front. May as well get one for the rear to match. Flying M is cool too but I've always run the Efini ones myself.

The lights have never been used at night so I can't say at this point. When I wired them up and turned them on though, it was pretty bright. They use HID projectors for the low beams and LED spots for the high beams. Should be pretty good.

Thanks!

I understand about the roof spoiler. Seems to be a love or hate with people. The rear badge will be changed.

Yeah I already have the Efini one for the rear just didn't have time to mess with it before the show. I don't really care for any of the Mazda badges aside from the Efini.

There were some delays with the shipping company. I hope they compensated you for all that.

So I have a decision to make about the future of my wheel setup. I'd love to hear some input to see what everyone thinks about the subject. Here are the options I have open to me:

1. FEED front fenders with current 9.5" front wheels and a 15mm spacer

2. OEM front fenders and have to buy an 8.5" front wheel but still require a 15mm spacer

3. FEED fenders with a completely new set of wheels

4. OEM fenders with a completely new set of wheels

My car is a base with the sunroof so not as valuable as the non-sunroof car. I keep all my parts anyway so changing the fenders won't decrease the value.
