Hey Tom,

How much work was involved in shaving your antenna? The black trim on mine is cracked almost all the way through... and I'd like to get rid of it and run a FUBA style in back.

Thanks!

Hank, the antenna was done by the bodyshop that was fixing that side of the car after an accident. Basically they removed the old antenna, welded a metal plate into the opening , grinded it down flush and then finished with some filler, primer and paint.

Mike, a friend of mine made the actual carbon fibre fuel door cover. Basically I found a second fuel door from an autowrecker and cut the metal skin of the door off and leaving only the framework and mechanism. Then I used windshield adhesive to actually affix the CF piece.
I will post pics once I get the car back from the stereo shop.

cheers,

Cheers for clearing that one with me, for a moment I thought it was a CF door. Crazy.

Your cars sick, keep up the good.

Mike..... i'm in the process of trying to get my foglights working. I was wondering if you know if anyone might have the wiring diagrams or if you could help me out in getting a fog light switch.


Cheers,

All parts for the MX are quite a bit more expensive than other countries, its because of the high TAX. However if you want me to get hold of one I will mail me let me know mszkilnyk@msn.com .

Also I came across these
