you should get the curved christmas tree caps and fill the holes, like filling the front plate holes. Just dip them orange to match

Thought of that too, but I feel like that would stick out a bittt more than just vinyl stickers. Plus with stickers it's a little more "water-tight" as opposed to the caps which might not sit right up against the hatch all the time. Meh, we'll see. If stickers don't work out, I'll try the christmas-tree cap method.Quote:

i found some really thin ones that curve and stay pretty close to the bumper. i had a bottle of touch up paint and did them so it's hard to tell at a distance.
I'm not used to all this..haha this thing is getting so many comments from random people off the street. I may not be able to do any spirited driving, and it may be a pain in the ass to drive this car at certain times, but these random comments definitely make it more bearable haha
Went for a little shoot with my friend downtown today (what a horrible idea that was...) and stuck in traffic, one of my numerous random conversations with people around me in their cars went something like:
Random guy: "I gotta ask...what car are you driving there?"
Me: "A Mazda3"
Random guy: "No way!" - then proceeded to lose his shit LOL asked me to clarify like two times after that
Normal compliments and all are one thing (which are nice too), but it's refreshing coming across comments like this haha I can only start to imagine what you show-stoppers experience on a daily basis driving your cars around.
Anyway, little sneak-peak into our shoot today. Can't wait to see the pics once my buddy is done going through them. Can't believe this car is worth doing a shoot for haha it's a good feeling loving your car again

LOL. That car is just a whole other level of awesomeness.Quote:

Tastefully done. Love it!
I can imagine! Hope things are well.Quote:

Did you plastidip the door and hatch jambs?
Hmm NPNV (No Paint No Volks). Kinda catchy
Lol and no, only the exterior was dipped. It's not too bad though because the original shade of orange of the car doesn't contrast the dip too badly when those areas are exposed. Well, not as bad as say dipping a black car white or something.
damn.
Good damn or bad damn? lolQuote:
