Great looking car!

I would trashcan the Ebay lights, regardless of HID usage, as they take away from the stunning paint/kit. ST170's or Mach's.

The calipers are killing me, black, SBlue or stock rust please.

The freshly painted parts need about a month to cure before they can be sealed...

That's not correct.

Wheel em out now, get some protection on that nice paint.

I don't like the Mach's...way too busy...way too much chrome...
And after driving with HID's, I won't go back to reflector halogens

And blue calipers?? Honestly...lol
If not red, I was gonna go gold, but then what colour would the lettering be?
Keep staring at these...they'll grow on ya ;)

Car is looking great!! Although I personally would've done the back hatch strip also ;)

As for the red calipers...I say you picked a nice color, i picked red paint for mine also just cause it stands out more then blue or black would...blue IMO is way too much blue on the car if it's Sonic Blue.

Only other thing your missing is the mazda3 wiper in the back for a much cleaner look...other then that outside appearance wise your set! (that is once you get all your stuff on)

And just out of curiosity...how much are those led fogs costing you?

Thanks!!
The fogs are basically costing me four fifths of **** all...
The projectors came out of my first Ebay headlights I bought...
The LED array came out of this Ebay cheapie...

I think I bought mine for .99 cents + shipping each...
Then I bought 9-LED circular PCB boards on Ebay, dirt cheaps as well. I had a guy at work machine me the nylon pucks for mounting everything, so I lucked out there...
I bought all the LED's from LSDiodes,
Other than that, there is the resistors and the 7805 voltage regulator from The Source (Radio Shack)
Other than my spare time, that's it...
I still need to figure out a reliable mounting solution for the F2 bumper...

I've heard of urethane based paints being ruined after being sealed before cure...
The paint needs to 'gas' and finish acting, no?
Besides, there are some areas I'd like my bodyguy to 'touch up' before he gets paid :)

I like the look of the F2 bumper but the more of them I see, the more I'm convinced to buy the oem euro bumper. The fitment on those F2 widebodys are just crap. :thumbdown

I think it looks great on your car but it needs alot of finesse and frankly, molding it together to hide the gaps and uneven lines. Its not something you caused with the installation, its just the way the kit is.

You do have a good point Patrick, and I do agree with you on the "gap" and "fitment" deal, BUT, that said, you do have to remember that it is an aftermarket kit and with all aftermarket bodykits, work is required to make it fit the way it should.

I wasn't happy with the total fitment of my F2WB, but I do realize that nothing aftermarket is always perfect.

Just like window tint, you have to remember the 4 foot rule.

"As long as you can't see it from 4 feet away, it's not a problem."

Anyone can nitpick ANYTHING up close.....

That's my take on it atleast.

Hell, Look at some of the euro bumper gaps.....

Looks great man. Really, really nice.

I'd echo the headlights. While you did put a ton of time and money into it, the end result doesn't look as good as it performs and detracts from the overall feel of the car. I'd get some machs and "debling" them, paint the inside up a bit.

But the turns, and driving lights....sick. wow. amazing! :) If you could put together a set for SVT sized housings, I'd buy them asap! :)
