    Re: Mazda Kai Concept (basis for 2019 Mazda3)

    I love the look but won't get excited until I see it in person. Agreed with m_bisson though - looks like blind spots will be awful!

    Evidently. I hadn't thought of that until I saw what happened. I'm just using ProKits, so not too low. I just hope I didn't shear off the top of my shock.
