That drop looks good on your car too. You should be happy with the results, not overly low where it becomes impractical, but great for a daily driver.
It should have came that way from the factory.

Hey Paul,
what is the measurement on that wiper blade, from end to end? It looks like it wipes across the brake lite.
I'm wondering if that arm will fit the wagon. Could be too long though.

J dood, I'm not sure if the wagon would be the same but on the hatchbacks it is the same wiping area. The Mazda blade is a tiny fraction longer but, makes no real difference in cleaning area!!

My 1.5" Eibach lowering kit (dampers & springs) hasn't even shipped yet. :(
Nice to see what my drop will look like, though. Looking good!
Check out these taillights (bottom of the page), they're manufactured OEM replacements that use LED's for the brake lights instead of your standard bulb, and they fit all model year Foci hatchbacks. And I believe they're still DOT legal because they have red reflectors on them. They may be a nice addition if they're to your taste.
