Another Mazda owner. 2010 Mazdaspeed 3. Yeah, I know its smiley

And you RUINED IT.

I mean, the car looks fine. But you ruined the :awe: face with that grille. Damn smiley haters.

Also, I'll confess- I did not post a pic of my car. I just found a random pic of an identical front end (IMO 2011 base grille and no fogs looks the most excellently deranged). My car is actually grey.

Oh, the shame.

Thanks! Plasit-Dip FTW. Cost me all of $6.00 and an hour or two of my time. Looks as new as it did when I put it on 2 years ago too.
ours requires a complete strip and re-paint (bottom of page 1) but that is a pure awesome use for plasti-dip!

Excellent choice! Any mods? I see you ditched the original wheels. I'd kind of like some BBS LMs on mine or something similar, but it's really hard to justify the price.

Those are the stock 18" wheels, which I still use. The car has Bilstein PSS-9 adjustable coilovers, a Dinan high flow intake, aluminum air mass meter housing and Stage 3 engine software, a short shift kit with a ZHP shift knob and pad/rotor upgrades. Otherwise stock. The car has something like 44K miles (not exactly sure since I have not driven it for a few months, thanks to living in the frozen tundra of Minneapolis).

Quote one of them so we can clear the air. :twisted:

I looked back through them, and mine is the only one that even looks vaguely like it has a 'stock' background of some type.

To be fair- thread title is 'what car do you drive.' To me, that implies 'what make/model.' No one ever said 'post pics of your car.'

But I will take a picture later and rectify this injustice with a 5MP crazy-smile.

Sorry for the dirty car. Right now, it's kinda hard to keep a car clean for more than a couple hours with all the melting and freezing going on up here in Alaska. (not sure if my skydrive image will work)


2012 Chrysler 300S-V8 AWD

Did some plasti-dip work a little while ago on mine as well. I liked how it turned out. 3 layers of black and 1 layer of pearlizer.

Black vs black + pearlizer


Outcome:



With some caliper paint (tried to replicate the sema speed3 wheels)

2011 Camaro 2SS



Traded the TSX about 4 weeks ago for it. Installed the Borla ATAK kit, and now going to start blacking it out a bit (wheels, emblems, etc.).

Other car is a 2007 Acura RDX, which is actually a pretty fun little SUV.

1998 Acura 3.5RL with 200k miles. I did some work on it since the picture was taken. The missing trim piece is back in place, and some bumper work.

What's wrong with his grill? It's the stock one?

Well color me retarded. I guess I've just never seen it shiny before? I'm not a fan of the fact that it's flush with the bumper instead of recessed; that (and the paint) is what made me think it was aftermarket.
