Nah .. No clips just 3M tape. I just hope it comes off nice and easy

although ... i kinda dig em. Just dunno if they look right on the car or not. Can't make up my mind.

Heat gun or hair dryer and an old credit card should do you fine. Good luck.

I like them visually and for function.....blunts on rainy days and all.

[apawk]

Here is better pic of them. What you think?

[Geo13]

^^have the same ones on my 05 Mazda3 GT.... So yeah I like them. On the other hand.....if you peel them off with no damage I need to replace the passenger side front and rear (cause I used all my man strength while doing a wash and cracked them)

If i remove them ill just send them to you for shipping charges. That way you can have all of them in case you decide to go all HULK on the front ones too

Red Velvet is on stands this afternoon. Method has been leaking because the nut that holds the self-sealing gasket broke.

Added Corksport frame relocator! Now I need more lowerz!

[f-castrillo]

Sealed leak from the cracked fluid sensor nut. Also fed some of my extra DO meth tubing into my filler spout, and now the spout is properly vented. No more slow fills

You don't have to take off the bumper just remove the foglight bezels, there are 4 or 5 clips on it just remove them carefully.

Pull it starting with the inside then bottom if I remember right.

It's still hard to get perfect because you're not left with a lot of room to work on it.

So i used a small flat blade to try and get the bezels off .... boogered one up pretty good in one spot. Any ideas on how to get the black inside bezel out easier?


EDIT:

Found a thread

Removing Fog Light Bezels

[apawk]

So yeah .... They dont come off from the front

[dbrier]

I installed my new Ultra Gauge this afternoon.
It's nice to be able to see my fuel pressure, coolant temp and boost.

[zmarko]

I picked up my '12 MS3 in Silver. Love it so far, but then I came from a '10 Mazda 3 Hatch 6MT so it's not much different except the power.

[voltron]

Flashed 2 more maps from rfinkle2
One to kill the boost gremlin
The other to start the e85 tuning adventure.

[f-castrillo]

Meth leak returned, although not as severe. Still leaking from the fluid switch. Ordered a new switch.

HOW DID YOU GET THE LINES SO PERFECT ON THE BUMPER, YOU USE TAPE?

[Wicked]

Taped about an inch above the body line, used a hobby knife to score the plastidip, and then it all peeled off with the tape

[f-castrillo]

Ordered some stuff for the car today:

DevilsOwn fluid level sensor: had to order a replacement because the plastic nut snapped (presumably under constant pressure of holding the self-seal down). Please consider making the nut of a stronger material, or some sort of metal, thanks!

jbarone OCC + EGR block-off + IM TIG: The first two items are "better late than never" items. The IM TIG will be there for the next time I do my valve cleaning; it's kinda messed up looking from when I cracked my IM last year, so I want to have it on hand just in case the SURE piece doesn't survive the next reinstall.

And I washed the car down with some Meguiars wash and wax

[kmpeeps]

Finished my "break in" period finally. 6 weeks, 2200 miles, and got my first ticket in it this morning. Now it's time to have some fun.

[dantes5823]

Double checked my intake after installing it yesterday. Now just gotta let it settle in and maf cal it.

[voltron]

Put in another 3 gallons e85 and 9 gallons 93. This is my second tank since friday night. Fuck that shit burns fast.

[jtt]

Spent some dollars on her today:

Corksport sri\tip
Corksport occ
Autotech internals
JBR rmm
Cobb AP
3" DP

Now it all just needs to get here so I can get it in the car!

[ebnash]

Got up early and started Cobb Downpipe install around 7am. Finished in a few hours and threw on the replacement Corksport recirc hose and urethane exhaust hanger kit. Scheduled to start etuning with Bucker next week for standard and 50/50 e85 mix maps.

I wish I had my speed when I was living in Europe.... Thankfully, I had a built R1 that helped me cure my need for speed. Now that I think about it, I wish I was still living in Europe. Oh well....

I purchased the wrong H11 LED fog lamps...the tip is too wide, unlike my current h11 LEDs. Damn it!! At least they were cheap off of Ebay. Oh well.
