Spring Pics w/ New Improvements

Thought I would post a bunch of pics for you guys with the new mods I've added to my list for this year.

New Work 11r wheels w/ Stance GR coilovers installed

I gave the car a bath, clay, and a couple coats of wax before the pics

I would have been nice if the sun wasn't playing games with me while taking these. Any feedback would be cool -- Enjoy the Pics guys!

hm... lol by reading it again i know wts the fuss is all about... i'll take the "only" back, and put it this way.
i've seen lots of cars doing drilled rotors and not many of them can pull it off quite properly.

all i'm saying is pico's car is beautifully done.


lol and josh... there's no doubt u have one of the cleanest vr here. u know how much everyone loves ur car

Hey guys thanks for all the positive feedback.
Its still a work in progress and will hopefully be finished very very soon.

BTW- Guys looking for coilovers, you can't go wrong with Stance. Well worth the investment.

The deflector came with the car when I bought it new, and to be honest it really doesn't bother me. Thanks for the comps. thou

Pico: that car looks great, those wheels compliment the vehicle nicely and the coilovers seem to have done a nice job of eliminating some of the wheel gap that Mazda loves to give us.

now you have to update your siggy.

^ Thanks Jedi!

The coilovers are great. I was much lower when they were first installed, I couldn't ever fit a lighter under the front bumper. On the roads here in Jersey that equals problems. Believe it or not i am 4 inches from the ground in the front. The lower profile tires (265/35 ) make it look much higher then it really is. I was thinking of lowering maybe another 5mm.
