Good catch, it does look like the drivers side is mounted in the wrong direction.

Looks really good! There's another member on here who lives in Edgemont, he has a GTM twin turbo coupe! I don't think he drives it too much though. I messaged him on the forums and found out he runs a detailing shop called CarZilla, great little place to grab detailing supplies if you ever need

Yep. Certainly a better look than the non-sport front bumper. Now that you're focused on the front end, any plans for the grille and headlights?

And in keeping with the Sport Package look, will you be replacing the side sills? If you're not familiar with what I'm talking about, go park your car side-by-side with a G37xS or G37S Sedan, and eyeball the side sill comparison.

Nice job Z! Did you take a spin on the Cyclone while you were there, or is that just for show??

Looks great! Any angled pictures from the front? Looking down the driver and passenger sides of the car?

Makes me that much more anxious to get mine painted and installed next week

I had a 1991 Eclipse GSX back when I was in college. It was a beast with over 450 awhp and would run 11's in the 1/4 mile, so I'm also big fan of the EVO's! That said, I think you made out quite well with a MazdaSpeed6 as an alternative to the EVO!

It's a slightly more grown-up car than the EVO and with the styling and enough chops to make it plenty sporty and fun! I've owned several Mazda's (3 RX7's and the MS3) and all were great cars and just a blast to drive!

Alex should have been finishing up my headlights yesterday. Did either of you happen to see them? Hoping to get them back sometime next week so I can get them installed before Spocom!

New Sport front bumper looks great, btw, ZM! Now it's time for some front grill work!

Looks so good. I really want to convert my front end. Just don't know how possible it is with AFS and Adaptive Cruise.
