BUILD!!! (Paint/Stance)

What's up Mazda fam? Alright this is the story of my MP5. I bought the car wrecked out of an auction 3 years. The only thing wrong was the tail gate was smashed and once I fixed that the car was perfect. I attended Wyotech in Sacramento, CA last year and while I was there my car was broken into and vandalized. So my car got f*&%ed. So now I'm in the middle of getting it ready for paint. I really want and NEED an MSP front lip to complete this before I paint it. So if anyone knows of one for sale PLEASE let me know!!! I have been checking the marketplace for the last couple months with no luck :/

BEFORE vandalism:

The fitment looks good, what color will you be painting it?

Also what wheels are those? Specs? What coilovers?



Honestly I'm still debating on what color to paint it. I am really leaning towards the facory midnight blue for 1. because it's a lot more work for me to do a color change and 2. I just havent seen that many midnight blue P5s done that I like personally. If I were to change it would go with like a gun metal or black or something dark. All imput on color ideas are welcome though!!

Specs:
Suspension - Ground Control coilovers maxed out on factory struts & no camber adjustments
Wheels - XXR 530 17x8.5 +25
Tiers - Dunlop 195

Note** The front fenders are rolled and NEVER rub. The rear quarters have been rolled & flair and still rub (Only over 45 on big bumps) ....need camber bolts.. Only 1 person can sit in the back and it has to be the middle.
I'll post a picture of the wheel gap in the next few days
 
I'm partial to midnight blue. Right now it has the "rat rod" look. I think its pretty cool! If I had the funds for a respray, I'd probably go with a metallic dark grey charcoal color of some sort.

Love that stance by the way!
 
I actually really like how it looks now as well, just looks kinda mean. I personally like a flat orange myself if changing color.
 
Spicy orange looks good on anything but I think the orange that Chevy uses for the cobalt would look sexy on a p5

Why not put money into the scooby?
 
New Front End & Quarters Primed!
