wait...i just realized the thread subject is first mods...

either the invisible bra or the window tint.
It is OK to be greedy
The other things I call accessories. ANYHOW WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE.
The first thing must have before the car rolls out is the side RX8 plates inside the door. IF YOU know what I mean
I think the first mod is to get the Mazdaspeed kit with spoiler. Then will side mirror and MS shocks, MS brake pads, MS this, MS that.....

Someone else probably already mentioned this, but my first "mod" will be a long wash with liquid Dawn to strip off whatever crap they've greased it up with, followed by 2 days of pampering at B-Nez's Pleasure House courtesy of the Zaino brothers. :D

OH I FORGOT THE MOST IMPORTANT MOD! taking the damn license plate off the front bumper if there is one! and taking dealership advertisements off!

license plate rattling can be stopped by using rubber or foam on the back of the plate or frame... thats what I do and no noise

also about the 2f2f decals, I was going to make them for a client but he chickened out. It is A LOT OF work to make those, but if anyone is interested, I can cut them at work.

just a side note, regular washing might not take out the crap, such as the glue residue left from the weather protector (white sheets)

some dealer would clay the car during PDI but most just rinse off the dirt and rub the dirty mitten along with the dirt back on the soft new paint, hence swire marks.

i see this board is quite pro Zaino, i haven't use their product but wash and wax might not help, there are also claying, polish (3M Imperial hand glace apply by fingers), wax and seal.

why do you think part of the wax doesn't come off easily right?

Zaino rules, and I've never used it myself

I just see the results and I'm always astounded
