Hahaha! Nice job with Photoshop. I like how you lowered the car and kept the shading over the flames.

Nice job with matching the paint on the trim. Did you use Duplicolor and a clear coat?

b_real45 March-5th-2003 03:33 PM

Yes Derek like that. It looks good... do you know if you can take off the Mazda logo? Or you couldn't and thats why you painted it black?

derrick1623 March-5th-2003 04:52 PM

my logo was off because i got the grill and emblem at different times...(i had a small fender bender and thats why i got a new grill)

b_real45 March-5th-2003 04:55 PM

Oh thats not the emblem? Its just the template? Do you know if you can remove that and just leave it all mesh?

No. The plastic outline you see in his pictre is molded into the grill. YO have to go all mesh like me to get rid of the emblem, although I did keep mine.

Why would Mazda sell the pieces already painted? Do the JDM Pro's have them? I haven't really noticed...

TheMAN March-6th-2003 02:10 AM

because they do.... how do I know? who cares... it's better for them to anyway... yes, the new jdm ones now do

Why vinyl when you can just paint it? It's not that expensive to get it painted.

You got pics?

Wingman21 March-9th-2003 09:46 PM
