    Thanks! I have a few other mods, not sure if I'll be doing them this season or next. Atleast for the major purchases.

    Thanks. No I haven't. Do you mean wrapping the whole bumper in a gloss black?

    Car looks great man. I got my tints done at AutoFX too. Do you actually live in Whitby or did you just get a good deal? I was considering tinting my headlights aswell.

    Lol! Thanks! I have had 2TLKATIV since I was 16 & got bored of it. It was from when I was younger. I then got WONTCSNO for this car, since I have a winter beater.

    The guy I purchased it from (MPS on the forums) had plugs to put in. Prior to buying it I called the Whitby Mazda Dealership and explained to them what I needed/wanted to do with the plate and they had NO idea about these plugs...lol!

    Can't believe no one's commented on how you started off with one set of personalized plates and then switched to another - what's the deal with that?

    Had reverse lights cut-out, done by ReStyleIt.





    Purchased a set of RX-8 rims. These won't be on the car until next season. Debating on powder-coat colour and tires.




    After a road-trip to Woodstock to pick-up the rims, I had to get Mcd's on the way home. Lol!





    Purchased a Sharkfin in CWP off Thanu and had it wrapped to match my roof by SecheMedia (Mathieu).

    Before



    After




    Took my car by her "hibernation hut" for the winter months
