Wow that looks really really good, Alex. Props to you.

And I dunno if its just me, but I think that intercooler is begging for a cleaning and polish.

The only kit I'd get is the Garage Vary one, but IIRC they only make a front bumper (a mean ass one at that). Then I'd get OEM skirts, but the problem is there isn't really a good rear kit that grabs my attention. I'm gonna get the splitter for Sonic, I think a kit isn't really practical for this car considering where and how much I drive it.

I think it's a nice looking bumper stock, rounded like everything else on the car.

ASAP, actually gonna start disecting this weekend. Gotta find someone with a BOV I can borrow for a little, the GFB is pretty notorious for leaks and it recircs into the intake right after the maf so if it's sticking or having some kind of issue, it can definately **** **** up. Also need that new intake temp sensor from mazda, gonna order tomorrow.

Yea, gotta take the bumper off to do that, the bumper is so deep I can't get my hand in well enough to really get it all.

Cause you move as frequently as I refuel. I'll be at Rich's tonight detailing it in the Garage along with his bike.

Thanks, wanted to bring it out somewhere, got caught in massive wind and rain on the ride home though. Good thing I have tread depth again

pinacup7 · 04-09-2010, 06:58 PM

Sick!!!

i live off cottman now..

motorvated · 04-09-2010, 10:38 PM

Looks good man. I wouldnt kit it at all, unless its the garage vary. But your looking at $1000 (I think)or more for just the bumper, not painted. I think with a nice splitter like the one you looked into a while ago, it would finish it off nicely. Just a side note, I do think the rear could come down a little. Some ISC tophats ($70) will not only give your rear coils more travel, they will also give you an extra 1.5 inches of drop. This takes preload off your coilovers, so they dont wear out super fast or ride rough. Pretty much they raise the mounting point of the coilover, giving you more low and more travel. Good stuff.

CleanNeon98 · 04-09-2010, 10:45 PM

Wish they made them for the front. I'm not concerned with babying these though, I'll give them a thrashing and then upgrade to BC coils

. Then I'll be able to go lower if I want and ride better too, and it will be back to super handling while looking this way.
