Nah, Man. No love. You have yet to post any pics of this wonder car you and your wife bought. It's time.... (I say that w/all due affection.)

Good price on those frog light bulbs, btw. Is that where you bought them? Don't expect to see too many frogs with 'em though. Factory frogs are notoriously bad for what they were intended... fowl (or at least amphibian) weather.

put some HID's for the fogs if you have the money ...thats what i would do. You can get a fujita F5 intake for like 180 brand new on ebay with shipping which is becomming very popular for the mazdas.

With regards toDentinger (Adam,) I believe it's the price of it that is adding to the popularity of the Fujitsu more than the practicality of it, since other name-brand intakes cost ~$50 more.
For the street, I would still opt for one of the others that provide an increase in mid range, rather than upper range increases. I am pleased with my Mazdaspeed/AEM, and with patience, found it for $210 shipped.
But, do an exhaust first.

Ohhhh. So that's how it is, huh? You thought this was gonna be easy, huh? You thought this was gonna be cheap?
I've been slowly working on mine for nearly 4 yrs now.I know many that have much more done thanIhave. I know others that have bought and sold several sets of aftermarket wheels, at a loss of course and still manage to buy another set. How? I don't have a clue.Perhaps they're dealing drugs, for all I know. I am on my third set of tires (2 sets by necessity) and my first set of AM wheels that I shopped for and searched for for over 2 yrs!!
I don't know how these other guys do it either.

j/k


'Bet you don't know that I sold a 35 yr old Gibson Les Paul Custom to get my Vibrant exhaust. (<<< That's true.)
