Thanks guys! I think the spacers and side skirts look awesome. Spent the entire morning washing and waxing my car. Will get some good pics at the car show tonight.

Looks great! Did you do 25mm spacers all around? I am thinking about 20mm for the front and 25mm for the rear.

Was able to get the car cleaned and waxed today. Looks amazing with the spacers and IPL sides added. I will probably do the headlights next and have JP paint them. Here's some pics from the car show I was at today!

Funny story behind this last picture. I was talking with several friends a couple cars over from mine. I saw this guy walk up with a camera and saw his eyes follow the two intake tubes to the grill and he then bent over and looked behind the grill. He walked away and grabbed one of his buddies and told him, "dude this thing has a twin turbo in it. I've never seen that before!" I wasn't sure if I should laugh or facepalm, so I did both.

Just kidding. This will for sure be my next car though. Love the GT-R.

Just installed a grounding kit. It almost completely eliminates that annoying shift lag from the 7A/T. The audio also sounds crisper. Very good mod in my opinion. When I have more time I'll try and hide the wires more.

Just installed paddle shifters, did a keyhole delete, and my girl got a new car! Waiting on some more goodies to come in and have some plans for these ugly chrome lights soon.

It's a 2011 Mazda6 with 22k miles on it. I never really thought I would like Mazda's, but it is really really nice. It has some pep to it as well. Pretty good car.

Thanks! Paddle shifters work well and are actually a lot of fun to use. They're even better if you have a grounding kit.

Super easy. Probably takes about 30 minutes or less. Just make sure you're pre-wired for them.

Did you get a good deal on them? ebay? or full price from a vendor/dealer?

I ask because I have been looking into this for some time, but I'm not sure this is worth $400 of my mod dollars at the moment.

Full price. One of my favorite mods to the car though. I love driving with the paddles. What else were you thinking about aside from the paddles?

Thanks, man! I love the Takeda, it sounds badass whenever I accelerate and downshift.
