Well the car was at ISS Forged all day today. They're master fabricator, the same one that modified the manifold for me build my exhaust.

its a thing of beauty really...

Also they started lathe turning my wheels and i got to see my centers getting they're profile made...and these things are going to look incredible!!! definitely nothing like it out there!!

got a shot of tucking the girls in for the night as well, my car and the owner of ISS's FD that he bought after driving mine about a year and half ago hahaha

 

well the exhaust came out awesome!!! not a ridiculously huge can which is exactly what i wanted, to hide that its 4" all the way back

took the car back over to Miami Autoworks today to have the front end put on as well as the side steps, diffuser, and wing!!!

 

finally! WHEELS WHEELS WHEELS!!!

well the front ones for now at least...the front wheels got cut, and i took them over to the body shop to make sure the fit was correct before they went in for finishing and powder coating

and i got say the fitment gurus at ISS Forged are freaking ON-POINT!!!! first shot out of the hole and the wheels fit exactly how i want them too!!!

I'm proud to say theses are the very first ones, and i'm lucky enough to say that i'm the only person in the world that has them!!! pretty freaking cool!!!

It sick to know i designed my own wheel and it looks exactly how i wanted them too!!!
i'm sorry if i sound a little braggy or cocky here guys, i'm just so excited about how they turned out!

I'll have pics of them on the car, tires mounted and all by tomorrow night!!

 

heres some pics from the show
i didnt get her completely finished, but good enough to bring to the show
still have to do some buttoning up on the body, and finish the wiring to start her up and get tuned!

Roxy was also awarded with the "Hottest Mazda" trophy!!

 

WoW...... great build and thread

 

Thanks!!

 

found this one on a media coverage site

 

It's great to see your build near its completion. Your car looks great overall, but I think that your wheel color is too similar to your car's paint color. How about powdercoating your wheels matte black? This will add the little bit of contrast that I think your car needs and it will make your car look much more aggressive.

 

I've had some thoughts about that as well actually

when i get my next set of wheels from ISS Forged, i'm going to play around with the finishes a little more

i kind of wanted to not make the wheels stand out too much because of all the craziness on the body, but now that i look at it, it might need a little most contrast
i'm gona mess around with it more on my track wheels when i order them

i think for track wheels i'm going to get some Blonix F/10...its the sister company of ISS Forged
They are stupid light, i picked up a 19x12 that they were doing for a g37s, and i could throw the wheel it was so light!!

heres what they look like:
