Thanks. Everything is pretty much painted on a ZX5 right? the only left to paint is the mirror covers.

I thought you'd do your door handles as well...or are you planning to get some from a mazda tribute?

I like my door handles black. I might leave them that way.

Looks sweet.

Am I the only one that thinks Nite-shaded grilles look awesome on just about any colour car? :D

I parked next to a red ZTS stocker at work on Friday (our Financials Manager's car) and really liked how "stealthed" the grille looks compared to stock.

Actually.. I have other plans for the grill lights. I'm planing to get a grill that has no lights and relocate the signals. Still not sure if I'm getting headlight with integrated signals or use the foglight housing as my new signals.

first I washed the pieces with dishwashing detergent..then let it dry after I wiped the pieces with windex then let it dry again.. then I started painting it.

I'm guessing the plate used to say: JAS 4 RE?

i think its "JAS 4 ME"

I don't know, I used to watch "Bumperstumpers" a lot and think "JAS 4 RE" sounds more like "jaspher" than what you propose? :D

It is jas4me.. buddy of mine told me it's not a good idea to post licence plates. that's why i edited most of them.

You should have sanded the pieces too before painting them. That texture look sucks ballsy
