Do you prefer this scoop, it's a little smaller...

nobody even noticed the car all stock looking, but with the raod race flares and super-gas scoop... they STARE HARD!!! I mean like they never saw a car before!

let me know what you think?

the pix do the flares NO Justice!

The reason they're staring is because they are saying, " What the heck was this guy thinking?"

I know you're just trying to make your car look good. But I would recommend to lose the hood scoop and leave the stock hood and if you really want the fender flares, then I would at least make them alot more low profile. Those fender flares are way too big and long and make the car look tacky. The front lower airdam is not getting any points either. Take a look at Islandsnows RX3 to get an idea of fender flares. I'll try and get a picture for you.

OK guys go easy.... I have gone stock before and get bored easily, not sure on the flares myself, but they come of easy enough. I have a few hoods and didn't do this to a real SP hood....the sticker on the hood is the only difference, but, In real life this car looks good!!!


nothing like it out there, and I'm keeping everything to go back stock again...

I know nobody may agree, but my buddy with the Crate Motor small block thinks its kewl!!

remember all the **** comes off in less then 5 minutes!

just trying to have a different look then all the other rx3's

Are you going for the Japanese Bosozoku style look? What's with the Mercedes Benz emblem?

No, you don't have pics. of the back.

Just put a big MAZDA sticker on the upper part of your front and rear windshields, better yet, who cares if they say that. I wouldn't desecrate a nice and rare SP just because of that.

I'm not a newby!!

but thanks, I have been a member on here for a few years, and got my first Rotary in 1983!!

I knew putting the flares on would UPSET a few people...

you all sound just like my wife, but, then again she thinks all my cars are ugly!

and my bike is the b-king... lot of people hate the look of that thing too!

I have a set of REGULAR Rx3 tail-lights, which I prefer, but if I put them on a lot of people tell me its not an SP...

HaHA
