Yeah I should have mentioned they are not done with the rust spot yet. Just starting on it.
And what do you mean debadging it? are you talking about the "street glow" sticker I have or the mazda emblems?
All of the stickers are coming off, and if your talking about the mazda emblems yes they are coming off as well. They already had the front one off the hood for when they worked on it. They just didn't start with the rear yet (other then the spoiler).

Yeah not too much to report since it was the weekend but they did sand down the back (the emblems on the back are off).
So now the rear bumper has to be sanded down, and both fenders need repaired.
I'm waiting for my new bumper to arrive (bought a bumper to match the skirts off an MX'er last Friday), but other then that things are looking good.
I got a higher resolution pic of the hood I'll post shortly

Looking...dusty...
So, how is it coming along?
Did he give you a revised ETA, or is the original one still standing?

Lovely stuff. It's always nice to see an mx-3 get that level of attention

Inodoro:
Yeah it was dusty. The past few days I went to take pics it was pretty bad. I'll probably take pics tomorrow btw. It's coming along well. I don't know what they did today but I'll find out tomorrow. And I don't know never asked about an ETA haha.
marcdh: thanks a lot! I can't wait for it to come out!
