WingsWest grills done! (pics)

New Pics:
I touched up the bends in the lower grill yesterday, and cut out the 3 bars behind it. I also went ahead and cut out the tabs at the corners for mounting the stock grill. That and the RH's really make it look a lot better IMO. I'll post some more pics soon.

Dude. Thats waaaaay tooo nice.... its exactly the same look as the prototype MSP that was in production... Now raise the power to 200 WHP, get MazdaSpeed racing seats and take it to the track!!!
How much did the hood cost??? Was it a GB for the hood or did you pay full price at WingsWest??? God damn that looks great... also are the MR-7 Gunmetal 17" or 18"???

Thanks man, but 200whp??? Pretty sure I'm pushing more than that at 14psi.(rockon) I got the hood from my local shop for about 550 shipped. The MR-7's are 17's, but check out my latest pics on this page... they are off now and the hart's are back on.

505zoom says when he's done with my car, he's going to start on mine .. right? LoL505zoom said:haha, thanks man... I've got a few more on the way right now too.
No I didn't paint the car, the black mica sort of changes color depending on the lighting (as does the spicy and the titanium).
Seriously though it looks great.

Not that easy, but looks great when you're done.
1) Trace the stock grill on to a piece of paper, and then on to the mesh.
2) Cut out the new piece, about an inch outside the line that was traced.
3) Bend the edges to about 90 degrees (on the traced line) all the way around, forming a lip. (This is the hardest part)
4) Then, carefully put the new grill in the air-dam (it is very easy to scratch the paint here).
5) After it is in there how you want, go around to the backside of the grill and you can bend the excess mesh around the edge of the air-dam with some pliers or a screwdriver. This will fasten it in there.
