Hey I just noticed, you have a turn signal light out.

S'ok. I have a new mazdaspeed style bumper and clear signals to go with it. :) I just finished painting it tonight and I should have it on tomorrow or Wednesday.

Hmm.. I didn't see it. What was it about?

They are awesome. :) Nice clean install, and with the HIDs they're shockingly bright. However, because of the way they're designed, they're not bad for other drivers. The lights have a semicircular pattern with the flat part at the horizon, so to oncoming traffic they're not bright at all.

Whoa.

I'll check mine next time I'm down. But I did yank pretty hard on the wires while positioning the headlights and they didn't come out, so I think mine are soldered.

Nevertheless...... thanks for the heads up Dan.

Where did you buy those clear lenses. I need to get a pair. You know if you get your car too nice looking I may pull out of the Montreal meet out of embarrassment over how crappy my car will look beside yours. lol

Bah.. screw looks. It's the performance that counts. :)

I got my clear turn signals (not just lenses, since one of my current signals is all smashed up) from Corksport. They were $150. :(

Ok, well, aside from some unsightly rust, she's starting to look good again. :)

Installing new fenders this weekend, and new CF hood May 9. After that, a few more rust cleanups, and I'll be done with these stupid appearance changes! Can't wait to get back to performance.

Yes, that is moisture in my driver's side headlight. I knocked off one of the retaining clips and forgot to put it back on; was really humid in my garage tonight.

wow, great job

I love that bumper, I got one of those sitting in my basement, just dont have time and money to install and paint it... maybe this summer

BTW the ebay turn signals come with everything including housing and everything, so all you do is take the crappy orange ones and put those instead... much less than $150 lol

That Guy wants $50 US to ship to Canada. He's screwing us. Free to US but $50 for us. My bums sore just thinking about it.
