    Did you rotate them at all during those two summers?

    Car looks awesome!

    The good thing about PKs is you can get away with them in the winter (providing you don't have a lip kit and/or extensions).

    Just wait 'till they set, you'll love it.
    Have you seen my stapler?

    Getting my prokits installed next week with koni yellows... Is a camber kit necessary? why is it important to do an alignment after they settle?

    A Camber kit may not always be necessary but you can tell by the final alignment numbers. e.g; If the camber angles on your rear tires are at the outter limits, there is good chance it will wear your tires oddly and prematurely. I would say put the Camber kits on, set the rears specs right from the start and then no worries.

    Getting an alignment check is 'mandatory' as the drop WILL change the numbers, sometimes drastically from oem specs. Also if you don't want to be buying new tires every couple of years also. ;-)

    Thanks for the info. My tires are a little worn down and ontario Mazda already suggested I replace them. I will wait till the end of summer, wear them down a little more and at that time I will invest in a camber kit for my new tires.

    Looks really good That's my plan for the summer as well. I'll be interested to hear if you need a camber kit or not as I have to factor that into saving as well. Come back and post when you get your alignment done please

    it wasnt too bad, i actually did it today in the sun which helped the vinyl stretch when installing. Unfortunately there is a line at the back where i had to seam two pieces together due to a mis calculation on material lol...

    Totally interested in doing this, but with a gloss vinyl finish...where'd you get the vinyl? What tools did you need to cut it, lay it, keep it in place? How long did this take?

    Yours looks great, I don't even notice the line in the picture.
    Got a variety of OEM Mazda 3 parts that need to go, thread coming soon, PM me for details!

    Default Vinyl on Hood contours + Roof now... thoughts?

    Took a while think it turned out great, and Vinyl over the plastidip'd emblem doesn't look too good... but it will work for now...

    The trimmings are gone obviously took the pics before cleaning up.
