Welcome aboard and nice car ... speaking of rear wipers one of the first mods a lot of people do is change the wimpy Focus rear wiper with the one from the Flex ... much more substantial and not very expensive (cheaper than the Mazda3) - especially if you're getting cost at the dealer.

Very Nice!
By the way, the antenna fix is really easy. I put up with a broken one for quite a while before someone told me it was a 10 minute job (true!).
Have fun getting the car the way you want it!

Nice SVT. Enjoy it. I thought the Edge wiper was too big for the wagon, as the Flex just fits and is smaller?

ken isn't it the other way around? I have the Edge rear wiper on my ZX3, isn't the flex for the wagons? I mean i suppose one could use either/or but isn't the flex one a bit smaller?

Yep, just figure out where the little clips are, and pop out the interior light. After that it is obvious.

Hmmm ... must've been a seniors moment LOL - yes, you are correct - the Edge one is too big for the wagon.

The SVT diffuser is a nicer piece than the GFX SAP one in my books. The SAP one is to bulky IMO.

Any long-term plans for the car?
