Now that's what I'd call the "open-mouthed" look. What happened to your grill, Man??

And I don't believe those are LED bulbs in there. They look like Halogens. Is that right Tracker?

VB: Ive actually had ppl not only take pics of my car from behind while im driving, but ppl go out of there way to ask me if thats the new name of the 08 mazda 3 lol.

Virgin: I actually like how the engine temp stays below normal temp, it runs better and it makes me laugh everytime i look at it, and yes those are acutally indivdual LED's for the brake lights.

Speedy3: Mmmmm pie, and no its not a gt47 its a Thumper

LOLLL i like that does it look like a honda... no... BUT YOU HAVE THE JDM THING going with the licence plate.. so there as for putting a new grille in thats good. the big hole doesnt work. looks like it was in an accident lol. btw was your old grille like a plastic one or something like that. those ebay taillights are sexy.. but my 08 ones look good.. btw tracker since winter is upon us... had to put winter tires on today... cost me 600$. GRRRRRRRRRRRR but its well worth it.. tried em out in a snow covered parking lot.. works quite well . soo now have the summer tires in my basement after spending well over an hour cleaning them (gotta make sure it looks good ya know).. soo yea that was my monday night.. OH BTW got 5 people and 4 tires with alloy rims in my car today.. WAHOO

Sry Tracker, I was responding to D's comment about LED reverse light bulbs, only my first post got lost and I had to rebuild it. Only I forgot to mention that I was talking about the reverse lights in the second coming. I am actually very familiar w/the taillights you have and may one day get a set for V1 like them. Though I'd prefer the OE look, they're just too expensive.
So, to restate my question (correctly this time,) do you have halogen bulbs in the reverse lights?

The first part of my post was meant only as a joke.

And eyelids: Mmm. Well, Sorry, but I'm just not that crazy about the look, to be honest about it.

i didnt notice the eye lids... i think they only belong on cars with big headlights... ive seen eye lids on mazda 6 and i ask myself "why?".. same on the dodge neons... and personally i think the 3 headlights fall in the same category.

Y'know Jaimie, you should give any new tire time and mileage to break them in properly... especially radial tires. 500 miles (805 kms) is usually recommended.
