2009 Photo Chops - Bring them on!

I am not among the masses that like the new changes in '09, but I think there is potential with some changes. Here is my wish list. Some minor, some.... a little major.
Let's put them in here and give the aftermarket some ideas for change.

I like them too, but they need a 9.5" or 10" rim so you can throw on some 265 or 275 tires in the back. The stock wheels look like pizza cutters.

I chopped the above pic with 300s in the back.

That's the beauty of it. If I ever go into business making turbo kits for cars I want to do it under the disguise of OEM. I think it is much harder to make things look like they belong than to pimp them out with bling, and for that reason I think it is more desirable.

It is an actual car, sort of... but I pulled off all the plastic crap on the bumper, added the '99 spec rear wing, added wider tires, dropped it by 3", changed it to gray and last but not least added a turbo hood scoop. The scoop is a throw-back from an early Mazda R&D mazdaspeed concept.

It's a MS concept, but I would expect it to be close. Mazda R&D guys seem to have a better grasp on what looks good than whoever came up with the 09 restyle.

This shows us where the roots of those stupid fog lights stemmed from.

If the scoop was functional for the purposes of drawing air into a supercharger and/or intercooler it'd be a different story. But yea otherwise I agree.
