    WTB: Mazda5 Rear Calipers

    Nothing is wrong. Apparently the Mazda5's rear calipers and rotors are bigger than the Mazda3 and Mazdaspeed3. For 2010 SEMA, the Mazda engineers used MS3 front and Mazda5 rears on the Mazda3 showcar. I am planning to do the same on my 04.

    GB: RockBlocker smoke reflector kit

    I wouldn't call these well cut nor are they from a template. Check out the side reflector...I didn't know that our reflectors are cut off at the end. Also check out the rear reflectors...notice how they aren't cut straight.
