    Its all good though. You can get rims for cheap nowadays with all these websites, or even buy them used, if you want. Yea, i like the dark red/maroon color; it looks hot. wasn't exactly my first choice of color (red that is) but it grew on me; bought the car used anyway so its not like I had a choice. I don't, however, like a brighter red color, just not my steez. anyways, what do you mean by custom grill and trunk? did you put in that mesh? cuz i tried to do it but it was mad hard, at least for me.

      yeah i put in some mesh. my grille frame is primered
      and the mesh is shiny black. pretty hot.

      my trunk is primered to cover the rear trunk piece that
      doesnt work. just reverse lights show.

          You wanna talk stock handleing from a mazda? Go drive a miata. Doesn't matter what year. I've done things in that car that I could never imagine doing in my pro. To add something to it, it's RWD and you can do a little thing we call drifting. I'm not tryin to knock my pro just sayin that if you think the Pro has good handling than you'd be in heaven in a miata.

          Yea bori, your car looks like mine too. Cept I've got a G2.5, my grill is different, and I don't have a spoiler. Nice taste on wheels. What size are they? They look bigger than mine?

                my joints are aight. they weigh like 16.5 lbs each. for 16's that ain't too bad. i know old school miata rims weight like 8 pounds or something. i was gonna get those too but its just more money that i don't have.

                  I've got a set of those old school miata rims if your interested? They're only 14s. But there aren't many wheels that are lighter out there. If you want them put a price on em and their yours. BBS are great lightweight rims.

                    thanks for the offer, but i already have some winter wheels and new tires on em so I'm out of the market. but yea, they definitly are one of the lightest rims i've seen.

                      i agree, people have commented on how crazy my pro handles. paired with it's 1.5L engine, i can keep the pedal to the metal through the curves. people call it slow.... but i call it TRACTION CONTROL, lol. i've got the koni-ground control setup, used to have eibach's instead. i'd have to say that the koni-eibach setup was better, but it didn't give me height adjustability. no matter how well a car handles though, plowing through those curves really 'puts the hurt' on your wallet when you have 17inchers...
