GTUs plans

I've been thinking lately about what I'm going to be doing to my GTUs. I'm stuck in between restoring it or going for a legit FC2000 look and all but still keeping it faithful to its NA heart.
What do you guys think? I'm open to all opinions but please no hating on my ideas or anyone elses since I'm still thinking about it and haven't done anything to it yet.

Cash 4 Clunkers.



jp, i'd just restore it to it's original form of a GTUS. No body damage with fresh new paint. I love the look of clean, stock, original 7's.

Unless you're trying for more power, then that's a different story.

If i was going for the more stock look i was planning on putting on a FEED lip, 17x9 TE37s all around, RE-Amemiya dolphin tail (single), RE-Amemiya side skirts, and RE- Amemiya rear diffuser. How does that sound?

keep it stock with basic bolt on maybe. stock body with MS lip, T2 skirts, shineauto rear add on. lowering springs and neutral/semi aggressive rims. I think a diffuser would be too much honestly.

because the Odula sides add more to the TII skirts, it'll be perfect match with the "tallness" of the FEED lip.



as far as mods, i guess do it big with a 20B. that'll be fun.

What I was planning with the GTUs before deciding to sell it to you was to go with a N/A 20b, an odula lip, and TII sides with the Odula underskirts. An RE diffuser was in mind as well.

Wheels were gonna most likely be a set of black RPF1s to keep the car black top to bottom.

The final step was gonna be a pair of Infini IV seats to freshen the interior a tad.

That's just my .02 cents.

No difference between the Mazdaspeed versions and the originals except for the embroidered logo. I'd rather have the originals.
