[FLIPDADY]

One sick WB hatch Jamie.

Way to represent the blue unit.;)

[swales]

Thanks for the comments guys. I was going to get the Autoexe grill but it\'s backordered until the end of this month and more people have the Autoexe one then the GV.

Joe, all I need now is your exhaust ;)

I can give you a good deal on a system.;)

What\'s the difference between the GV and Autoexe grille? Is it the number of bars?

[Broli]

haha, blue unit . . .
i cant lie i like that colour, was second on my list!

hey flippy . . .
ever hear of the search function!
lol

autoexe grill (http://torontomazda3.com/forum/read.php?TID=4775)

i believe u fielded some questions in that thread . . .
lol

[swales]

I might take you up on that ;)

Yep the autoexe has one less bar and is a bit different then the stock one. Here\'s a pic of Clem\'s

I have to agree. That front lip is the best for the hatch. Very nice.

[RedRaptor]

Jamie, your car is mint. I love the GV lip...something I want on my car for sure. :)

Do you have the LED tails? If not, get them so you can complete the \"Axela\" look!

Blue Unit!

Red.

[whodilly]

Very nice! The rims look great on your car!

Awesome all around!

Stop drooling b/c you had to settle for orange!

Why do I need to search when I have you showing me where to go.:p

[Kevin@nextmod]

How much did the lip run you? I just got something for my car and all i need now is the lip.

[///M]

Very nice...I like your rims!

[ds2chan]

Nope, they\'re Wedsport SA70\'s...I wanted JDM

[wtom]

The last time I priced out the GV lip and grille it was gonna cost me almost $800 CAD shipped to my door. :(

VERY nice front-end, swales. I\'m droolin\' here ... damn life responsibilities. :D

Rims and drop and just everything together is sweet!

EDIT: if you\'re into it, get the rear bumper lip portion (stock black) painted winning blue as well

[midnightfxgt]

Warren - any pics of that done?

Swales - Looks good man, I knew the fit would be bang on ;) Is that the PRacing grille or an authentic GV? I want the PRacing 100% if it fits.

John, it\'s the authentic GV grille, I never put knockoff/replica parts on my cars (even the side rings are JDM oem) as I like to buy the \"real\" thing only, which ends up costing me an arm and a leg :sarc

[midnightfxgt]

Swales - thats cool, but when I asked for the grille I was told it would have to be shipped seperate, and would be the cost of the grille + $300USD in Shipping!

Authentic stuff is great, but I see no reason to get an authentic GV grille. I mean if the PRacing one fits just as good, there is no benefit in my eyes.

-John

[swales]

Really? My buddy just ordered the lip and grill and the shipping cost was something like $12 more to add the grill. I can see why you never ordered the grill as that\'s nuts.

Hopefully PRacing fixes the alignment issue with the grill before they start selling them, as a guy in Mtl has one of the first ones made and it doesn\'t align right, there\'s a bigger gap on one side. I was surprised with the quality of the GV one, as it seems better quality then oem

[midnightfxgt]

Yeah, They told me that when I was having 2 lips shipped. The reasoning was because the couldn\'t ship in the same box, so I would have to pay shipping twice.

Looks great though
-John

PS - Does the guy you know with a grille have pics or anything online? I would love to see.

[TheProfessor]

Looking very good Swales, nice work!

My mistake, it was the grill from \"nabobery\" that the guy had. I don\'t think anyone has the PRacing one yet?

[midnightfxgt]

Well if its the GV Style from Nabobery, its the same as the PRacing one :).... any pics etc online? :)

-John

[swales]

From the pic it\'s hard to see, but in person it\'s very noticeable that it doesn\'t align properly (driver side) and it\'s not centered. Also, there\'s only 4 drill holes instead of the 5 on the stock and GV ones

[Pimpin_29y]

Very very nice!!! Your car is clean and mean! I\'ve been dying for someone to make a grill like that for the sedan...

The lip was about $220cdn but it\'s the shipping that kills the deal for most, as shipping alone is over $300, luckily for me I had a hookup for the shipping so it made it worthwhile for me ;)


Again, thanks everyone for the positive comments :D

[chaser]

Very nice job!
I like the Wedsport rims!

Japanparts.com is where you\'ll find the lip, and no it doesn\'t come painted.
