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.)


youre right ... it takes a long time to find and afford the 'right' parts for the car.. the other dudes probably are selling drugs. haha.

im sorry to hear you sold your guitar for an exhaust system. i would have held onto that les paul if i were you.

Well, you're right. And it was a tough decision even though I had pondered it before. The Les was just sitting in the closet unplayed for quite a while, and was not my favorite. I had thought of selling it several times over the last 3-5 yrs, just to give someone else an opportunity to enjoy it for a whileas I did. I wasn't that sorry to see it go, but still do have pangs of regret once in a while.
I have a '92 LP Std that I like to play much better but in fact, and though I do collect Gibson's,am much more of a Strat man. Very flexible instruments, Strats, much more than the Paul ever was.
And the good news about that was that I doubled my money on it in the ten years I'd owned it, and got to play it (and do the repairs also) during that time too.

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.
you took the words right out of my mouth haha.
i wouldnt have even bothered with the low beams. just save up the extra few bucks, and get HID's.
i got mine for $290, but they're getting so popular now, that the price is dropping. i think the same set that i got back in august (Prolumen), is down to $230 ish now.
