well, my painter guy didn't get a chance to get the car all buffed and touched up, but here are the preliminary "after" photos:
still have to get my new wheels hooked up (not painted yet/no rubber)....

and you say the car is not buffed up and touched up....
you tryna say that when it is buffed up and touched up it will be so gleaming that whoever looks will go blind....
well at least the last image they have in their head would be of a SICK P5

well, if you get up close you can see a few spots that need touch up and he didn't get any buffing done at all.
looooooong time ago i loved how this looked:
but i didn't want to just have the hood done, so i did under the grill and the top as well. the black stops at the back where it meets the spoiler. came out looking pretty nice...and now no one will say "hey, i THINK i saw your car!"

but i have a 99, so unless i wanna do the huge front end change, i think ima stick with what i got and work with that, plus the sport20 bumper looks just as sick, and it will fit on my car
edit: isn't the wingwest pro supercharged.... maybe rod can get some ideas

the supercharger on their car is awefull. It also requires you to lose your powersteering and their kit cost about $5500 as each (only made 2 in total) were one-offs.
Also, you notice how no'one has seen any power numbers for it?!?! It's cause there's is crap. I'm betting mine will run about 200whp intercooled and cost about $2500. Not shabby.

Showed my wife the car she gave me the thumbs up to do mine in white to match the tri-point cars!! I've also applied for the contingency stickers from mazda motorsports. Should really round out the car!
