So I just recently sold my project car (1996 miata) and decided to dump that money into the DD. Over the weekend I got a lot of goodies and got busy.

Exterior
Taillights painted red
Plastidip bumper
De-badged Mazdaspeed 3
Tinted window
Lumix yellow fogs
Rims on stock tires XXR 530 18x8.75 +35
Extended open end lugs

Interior
Cobb Shift knob

Suspencion
Ksport Coilovers

Engine
Cobb SRI
Corcksport TIP
Ebay test pipe
Cobb AP (on the way)

Its dirty sorry

Definitely a great start. Love the wheels with the silver. And the coilovers give the car the perfect drop. Good stuff.

Looks sharp man. I really like those wheels.

Make sure you get fp internals before you but the downpipe on.

Thanks guys. I love the way the sits and rides now, and even tho it rubs just a tad in the back when turning hard, its still a good DD.
No worries I've been doing my reading, no DP without internals. I just got my AP in yesterday and I'm loading stage 1 later today and doing some logging to see my fuel delivery.

Thanks man. I had to roll the rear and it still rubs a little bit, but only over big bumps lol.

Lookin' good!

That looks great! Couple questions

What did you use for tails? VHT Niteshade?

This is so similar to what I want to run, although I was probably going to get 18x8.5 wheels instead, with a 1" drop with Cobb springs. Do you think that would still require fender rolling? If so, I should probably get wider wheels anyways...

also how much of drop did the coilovers give?

For the taillights I just used the spray tint from autozone, it works fine but be sure to do a good prep. before spraying the car, used about 4 coats.
For the springs you wont need to roll them, 8.5 will clear as long as you use the stock size tire. My drop is almost 2".

This makes me want to buy a set of the '13 gunmetal stockers to throw on my silver MS3 even more. Dark gray or black on silver looks awesome!
