Now for the finished product. Big thanks to Tap for giving his time, tools, sweat, and blood to this project. Also a thank you to Josh for helping me install my lip and side skirts in his garage during the lovely weather we all experienced last week.

We also discovered that during the fog light install my car was half German half Japanese and that it thinks they're still allies. Night pics will follow once the sun goes down, although I will warn you all now that the amber in the fogs do not match the amber in the headlights. I haven't a clue why. With the lights off they look exactly the same and with the lights on the driving lights stay amber and the fogs become more of a yellow which is odd because they are clear driving lights and 6000K HID's. I do not know how the light looks on the ground though. But overall I'm happy with the finished product. Now all that's left is to relocate my front plate, paint my calipers and drums, and tint and exterior mods are done.

I want to paint the chrome bar body color and the surrounding area either black or gunmetal. The SE's came stock like this. I also want to pick up the SE rear trim bar. If you look in my sig and see that grey piece going across my trunk lid, that piece is smoked on the SE. Any chance the next time I'm up in Worcester we could do a mini-photoshoot?

Nice, thanks buddy. I just remembered that there's a guy named Blue Batmobile who does a vinyl overlay for the rear turns which I'm gonna pick up when I spray that bar.


I believe he does stuff for the Mazda's as well. His site is www.bluebatmobile.net.

Nope, to bad I already scraped it going to Tap's yesterday to install the fogs. Freaking Focus in front of me slammed on her brakes over a bump and yea, well, I scraped on it because of her idiocy. dry.gif Apparently if I'm ever going that way again if I go to the far right over there the road is more level.

I'll be picking up overlays for my reverse lights and smoking out the bar that runs across the trunk lid as soon as I can.

Night shots as promised.

I think I'll be ordering a lower Kelvin rating bulb for the fogs too. The only question is 4500K or 3000K?
Nrw
Yea he makes stuff for almost everything. I remember looking thru his site and he had viper stuff as well.

Fogs look MINT! Go with 5000k for your headlights
