Finally did mine this past week. Gotta say, I love it. I will have to get another roll to adjust my spacing and tidy up some minor errors and maybe do something in the back like some of you guys did. Once again, good cheap mod MazdaBob!! Can't think of a better way to spend 10 bucks.

I'm having trouble getting the front's rotary to stick. How did you go about doing this? The back was easy cause I have it on the indentation of the rotary, but the front I am having trouble.

I had to try this mod on my ride. Everyone's cars all looked great. 4 bars on the front and some thing I'm trying to see if it works out on the back. Thanks for the idea mazdabob!

As a sucker in NY where we are required to have a front plate, I'm not going to try this. However, I really want the rotary accents and don't feel like paying Mazda $150 for them. Am I right in reading that other people have used this chrome wheel well moulding to make accents? How did you bend it? Did you need a template of sorts to do it right, or just bend it around the rotary symbol somehow? Any info before I try this would be appreciated. Also, I do think I'm going to do this on the rear grill....no plate there

That looks great, IMO.

I just purchased a set for less than $20 here at the biggest bay in the world :

They are H11's 55 watt (very important not to get higher than 55watt because the harness can't handle it I've heard).
