The answer you are looking for is:

NO-- It has not been done on an MX-3 before.

Therefore-- no one will be able to give you anything but specualtion about how it could be done.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE PICTURES?

AT LEAST I AM STAYING IN THE MAZDA FAMILY INSTEAD OF BUILDING A RETARD WITH HONDA FRONT LIGHTS OR TOYOTA TAIL LIGHTS. :freak:
