Finally my car out of paint and on the streets!
Re: Finally my car out of paint and on the streets!
yep that is Johns Mazda 3 Turbo, were in the same club and have been friends since Highschool. His car is not fully kitted and lookin mean!
Re: Finally my car out of paint and on the streets!
Car actually looks very good. I see some fitment issues but that can be expected with aftermarket products. Great work!
Re: Finally my car out of paint and on the streets!
you have NO IDEA about the fitment issues!! The front part was UNDER the hood so I built it as the smooth solid piece with no grill thing to make it look better!
Re: Finally my car out of paint and on the streets!
The car looks great, dont get me wrong. I am a 4th year apprentice auto-bodyman so I know what to look for.
Re: Finally my car out of paint and on the streets!
No worries I already did my College for Autobody then worked in a shop for a yr after and found there is NO MONEY in that trade! ahah So I do it on the side!
Re: Finally my car out of paint and on the streets!
I agree with you 100% lol.

What did you use to plug the hole in the glass for the wiper? I'm just curious because I'm gutting my car right now and was thinking about getting rid of the wiper I NEVER use.

In his list of mods it says we shaved the rear wiper.
Re: Finally my car out of paint and on the streets!
Yes my wiper is gone. In Canada ALL MX-3's came with a rear wiper. In some parts of the world it was an option. But for me since my price on the glass alone WITHOUT the hole is $689 I just decided to fill the hole with a small plexi piece and paint behind where the black was on the glass to make it look like it was never there!

Re: Finally my car out of paint and on the streets!

Re: Finally my car out of paint and on the streets!
I haven't seen this car before. Looks awesome. It definately does well as a show car. I wouldn't drive it everyday, because I always use my back window, and rear wiper, and most of the things you deleted, but I suppose its not a daily driver, so awesome job on the fibreglass, LCD's and loudness, prettyness, and all that fun stuff that doesn't make it go vroom vroom (except the KLZE?)
