I bought my mazda 6 back in october after a engine swap became apparent in my DD modded focus. I need another DD to take it's place.
[/B]




I was in the market for a mazda3 being partial to focus, but I found this 6. Loved the power, interior and the look of the car I had it home two days later.













First snow.







First things to change was the brakes or lack there of.

I ordered the Powerstop 1 click kit.

 

My next goal was to fix the old and tired head liner that flapped in the wind with the windows down....

So I fixed it temporarily to get me by for a week or so. I bought a carbon wave headliner from headsupindustries.com



I just took the head liner out.




Will be re-doing the material tonight leave it to dry over the night and it back in tomorrow evening.
I used 3m adhesive.



Here is some mid-progress shots.









After about 7 hours of cursing this is where I ended up.




Finished.

 

...... a raccoon who I could see cross the road up in front of me decided to come back at the last second....







Back from the body shop brand spanking new front bumper!



Few other pics from today you can see the cleaned up dealer decal and the fixed emblem.









My make shift plate holder till I get the relocate bracket in.

 

Finally got some LEDs.



Just installed them tonight. I'm glad I got 9 cause one had a flicker on the end.











Went to my first mazda meet in June.

Washed, clay bar'd, and waxed, then went to my first mazda meet. Where everyone was boosted. I was so jelly!

I also picked up a free grill.

 

Clean up each weekend.

Just touched up with showshine again.


Both the dirty cars together.







Then after I cleaned it up.





My hood.

Got me some 8k 3w H1s










Just last night I got some work done.


Busy day today. I test fitted the '06-'08 grill on a 04 bumper. Fits perfect with very little work. Just need to paint it, and fab up something for holes. I got the perfect idea. I put my HIDs in too.

 

A little too many pics.
Looking good.
glad your handy.
There's a few "Sticky"'s at the top of the Newbie Section you should look at.

 

Took a few random pics while I took a brake from putting up a new mail box.

 

You put a set of brakes on your mailbox?
I'm gonna let you take a short break and think about that one.
One of the sticky's on top of the newbie is how to load up an album---which you have done in a thread instead.

Your brake calipers need painting, and with your car being very dark you need to get rid of that chrome moustache or put more chrome on.
You need to do the Evil M to your car emblem.

 

PuttIf that's the worse grammar I do, then I'm doing good. This is the first of over a dozen car forums I'm a member to that didn't incourge a build thread. Ill start on of those albums here later then. It will make me not want to post on here. But rules are rules.

BTW. I will be putting that face lift grill on in place of the mustash grill once its painted and finished. Evil M will not be finding its way on to the mazda its a bit too ricy for me.
