| oh im going to automotion! i was going to go last year but my car wasnt ready yet. ill deff. be there, im going to be meeting up with a guy from cardomain who has a regular 6 and a speed6...not sure which one hes bringing tho. ill be up there the whole weekend tho.
franky-- i just went and bought a small can of bondo from autozone and filled in the holes myself..then used some touch up paint...probly not the best idea..but it worked for now...eventually when i get some money together ill probly get it done professionally...but u can barely tell the holes were there unless ur right up close to the car. cost be about $5.
mcmuff-- i LOVE the color...theres a blueish tint when the sun hits just right, but when its cloudy its a dark grey...the second i saw this color, i had to have it :-) |

| Damn dude that's cold. But it was Franks that asked about the holes because Mazdaspeed's don't have them, my badges came off clean. - mzdagrl3 wrote:

Ewww rivets. I think I will stay with the prop stick for now. On a positive note, how fun was it to install those fucking angel eyes? I wanted to cut my own head off when I saw how entirely dismantled the front of my car was just to put glowey rings around my headlights. | |

BTW I think you've got franky and peter confused....its ok we do it too yea bondo is no fun. especially when it all goes to waste when a lil malato kid knocks it out when he is pressure testing your car. . . | |

| yea the bondo wasnt fun at all...very messy...still have the pair of jeans i was wearing that day, has bondo smears all over it haha
yea the halo install was a pain in the ass..i was so nervous to bake my headlights! the only thing that i had to get help on was wiring them up to a switch next to my steering wheel, where u control the dimness of the gauge lights. but it was deff. sad seeing her all torn up...but it was deff. worse when i installed the bodykit...oommg...without front or back bumpers...now THAT was scary!! |
