Good work man, I've had hubs and rotors sitting at a machine shop waiting for my 5 bolt conversion for a really long time(so long I'e given up).
Were you the guy on kijiji with the collection front bumper a little while ago?

That was me! Lol I just got the alignment decent up front and it sits and drives really nice.

So, for anyone interested, I'll be making an in depth write up and how to. From all the parts and years to all the custom machine shop work and misc bits you'd never think of till you've done it. My goal was to have 5x114.3 on a car using stock brakes and wear items from a Mazda 3. Definitely a success. More to come

A couple shitty cellphone pics, RS conversion is near complete. Few more tweaks and fender caps and itll be something nice.

Front and rear bumpers, fenders, came from a kid on kijiji, the rear quarters i made myself, the rockers are stock rockers pulled 1" out from the body.

Wow! How did you make the rear quarters? Any progress pictures?

I had to replace them, so i took good stock ones off a car and left 3/4" of a lip on them, then welded them to where the stock ones roll off, adding close to 1", then i welded 1x1 tube along the inside of the pinch weld for a jacking rail, then a chunk of body metal between the square tube and new cut rocker. Took a crapload of work to do, but they're mint now, useful and both stock and modified. It worked out when i made the rear wheel arches meet up with the rocker, looks totally like something the factory would have done. Way better than the RS sideskirts. As for the molds, i actually used the mold i popped off as the rear quarters, so i dont have any leftover fibreglass parts. All in all, it was a massive project that still isnt done, but has some light at the end of the tunnel. Far cry from where it came from:
