Anthony, it looks like KS made the rear production bumper. Not a big fan of the lines on the bumper..

Also, it looks like they started making products for the 09. Here is a lip they've made for the 09's, it looks o.k. but it wouldn't be something I'd buy if I had a 09.

I have the 6led on mine and gave High power to Gilbert the High power looks nice because it fills in the whole circle. The 6 Led has a dot in the middle and has a slight bluish tint to it. The High Power is nicer and more expensive but I think they are a little bit touchy with the contacts as you saw when we initially put them on, they didn't turn on right away. They are both good just depends on your taste. I wouldn't go with the inverted cone.

How did you work and go to Cali that day and come back on a quick turn? That's tough.

and look at the reflection here!

my car becomes a magnet for dust when i wax it, like 24 hours later and the paint already looks dull from the dust. Does yours do the same? I have mine parked outside most of the time so that does not help much either.

Cool

Got my race pipe on I stoped by Mikes took him for a test drive. Then we went for a second run but this time he was in his dads car following me. He said when I shift I spit flames! I love it. People know I'm next to them now and thats what I want. Dont cut me off ****** I'm right here! lol Also I can feel the HP kick in at low RPM's but its not just there its good across the band with. My car is day and night now. Even with all the other mods I had. So far this is the best one and all of them working together is making power. My wheel cherps are more crazy than before. Time for new rubber lol
If you guys think the car is to loud then your to old. I say get a race pipe and feel the HP. Its like your car is not hot and sluggish anymore.
I'm going to do some drive bys and I'll post some vids soon.

Guys after waxing your car, Tarp it!!! dont let that dirt settle in there or whats the point of waxing it lol its just sealing in the dirt. Cover it!!! Autozone or Walmart has some big *** car/truck covers for $20.00 I have one and use it for the next 3 days after I wax my car. Makes a world of a dif unless its windy out and you have to drive to work then that sucks for your 8

Besides that, I got my tint re-done yesterday and I gotta go to Mazda at like noon today to pick my new visor. POS, started falling apart.. Tomorrow, I'm getting my hood and eye lids painted.. I was supposed to get my headlights restored today, but I will hold that off until Thursday or something. Friday, I'm hoping to get all my dents removed and the crack on the rear bumper fixed, also I will need to repaint that as well. It's gonna be a good week!

what are u looking for when it comes to size of tire. want the offset to look more agressive? get a bigger tire (255-265) want the stretched look (more dangerous for ur rims) get some 225-235. personally i would go for the 255-265, an 8 inch rim is not too wide to begin with, so to go skinnier for a stretched look will make u loose a lot of grip and look kinda funny. and getting a fatter tire will make the offset more prominent and give u more grip and more protection for the outside ring of your rims. hope this helps flip :D

sorry i dont know everyones names quite yet. i don't come on here TOO Too often anymore.
