Better quality pics (Wheels and front lip) for those who asked!
Hey guys,
Some of you asked for some better shots of my car and I went out today and took some. I did some searching in a local junk yard and came across a Mazda 626 front lip. It was the only one that had one out of like 9 total. But I cleaned it up and painted it. Installed it and the white is off but I'm not worried about it. It'll get the right color next time it's off.
Anywho... I'm pretty happy with it overall. Had to do some minor trimming and I'm not really digging the 2 piece design and am going to see about getting it molded into one piece. Btw... used a different camera for these.
Pictures!

I would but my buddy is already planning on fixing it completely. He's going to mold it into one piece, reinforce it, extend the ends out, and color match paint it.

Raid3n it was an early 90's I want to say. I can't be sure. Just google Mazda 626 on google. I think a couple of year models had them. But you do have to modify it to make it work. It's not bad at all. Using 2 people helped out a lot. I held it where I wanted it and a friend drilled holes and mounted it.
Puhpaper they are:
17x8 +35mm front
17x9 +35mm rear
I had to use a 3/8" spacer up front b/c of my older style Bilstein coilovers hitting the wheel and tire. I have a good 3mm of clearance now and am going to get extended lug studs to have some security up front.
