Sunny day today so I washed the exterior, cleaned detailed the interior and also pressure washed and detailed the engine compartment and engine.









I also took the time to do my once a month cabin filter cleaning.

Checked my Engines air filter today. I run K&N for a Cabin as well intake air cleaner .
I just cleaned and serviced it last month but was bored at home today so I thought what the heck... lol

Funny I noticed my pictures can go from 1st to last or last to first...they work both ways when checking an air filter. LOL

I have my own engine cover emblem to replace the Mazda I will be using but I am still finishing up that project and will post a picture of it when its done. l making the plate for it.

I also decided to completely sand done the Skyactiv technology molded into the cover as well before the final BLUE.

I also purchased CorkSport adjustable camber plates. So I made a wooden template to better drill the access hole in my strut tower for easy adjustment as per CorkSport installation as a elective modification for them .

Default Front aftermarket Spoiler

I ordered last year a Lenzdesign front spoiler. I was not really happy with the quality of it . I also had to do a lot of work to bring it up to a level I would install it on my Mazda 3. I am sure most would have been alright with some light prepping, paint and mount. Not me.

After working it up I desided to use a texture bed liner paint for the main front that is exposed to everything that can possibly hit it. On the sides a matching finish. Then a light fan coat on the front to give it some sparkle of the MICA color in the light and shot the sides in a clear coat. coat of but painted

















After some (lots of) sanding and filling I painted the primer coat .
