one of the best looking mazdas

 

I see holes in your front bumper.

 

Thanks!

I know! I specifically told my dealer not to put the front license bracket too..

 

Why did you want it set off to the side like that vs. using the bracket in the middle?

Love the car, just think the plate looks even more tacked on now.

 

Nice pics, JW!

 

Odd placement of the plate. Cali has to use front plates now?

 

Fixed.

 

I don't know, I just like this way.

Maybe I'll put on FMIC later on?

Thanks hyung!

When did we not have to have front plates??

 

It really would be nice if we either had Euro-style plates or none at all.

I hate the way the square plate ruins the aesthetics of the front end.

 

Man I love those wheels! Great stockies!

 

I would just love it if we had Euro style plates..

I just got a great deal on the tow plate, so I just installed it. My excuse would be.. now it's one less thing to worry about getting pulled over by cops. I never got a ticket for not having a front plate for the past 5 years, but I was always kinda worried when cop car was in front of me. So yeah..

Thanks! Yeah, I really want to put some RPF1s with some good tires, but I just can't see myself taking off those stockies..

 

Get those holes plugged up.

 

^ How should I do it? I've been wanting to get rid of them but didn't know how to do it.

 

Love the new MazdaSpeed 3s, I think you need to fix the resolution on some of those pics

 

I remember back then STi owners who got rid of their STi wing used bumper plugs to plug those holes up. You can even paint the plugs and then plug them in so that it somewhat matches.

Its the cheaper alternative.

 

^ Thanks. I'll look into it.

cM3go, sorry, are they too big to be posted? How do you want them to be? I'll fix it right away.

 

Some are squished.

 

I noticed that some pictures were squished when I was on my computer at home this morning before I left for work.

But now that I'm at work and on my laptop, they're fine.

 

The 2nd and last pics look squished.

Nice find!

 

Squished? Really? How do I fix that? Never heard of that problem..

 

Great! Thanks!

wat?

 

They recently changed some parameter here on AZ so if I picture is too big, it'll resize it but not proportionally. That's why some of the pics are squished.

It was brought up in one of the C&P threads. Srika knows about it.

 

If you look at that photo earlier in the thread, it doesn't look like it's in the native resolution the photo was taken in ... it looks like the horizontal dimensions have been reduced without the corresponding change in height.

 

^
Looks better.

 

Photos look fine to me now.

 

Oh.. why did it happen on that picture in the first place?

How did you fix it? Thanks!

 

Chris, does it look squished in my flickr page??

 

Kill that front plate!!!

I have not had a front plate on any of my cars in more than 10 years....no tickets too.

 

Look at the second and last one again.

 

Your photos look fine in flickr.
It's AZ's automatic resize that doesn't resize them proportionally that's the culprit.

If you want to fix it, you would need to change the dimensions of the photos you originally posted.

 

euro style in the us?...pretty silly, if you ask me.

whatever floats your boat.

 

I got one recently. It's annoying to be pulled over and it was $60. Meanwhile crotch rockets are doing 100mph in a 55mph zone all over the place

 

V

Trust me, no plate in the front is what I like, but I just want to put one to be safe and done.

 

Don't ever park in Beverly Hills because they're sticklers over there.


BTW, nice ride!!

 

looks good. at first i thought my eyes were messed up when i saw the squished pics

 

Photos still look fine and the same to me. They're not resized to me.
