Actually they arrived in like 4 days after they were shipped. But it took almost a month to ship them. Laughing

Yeah it's real cf. I've been wanting this grill for years, but up until now to get the only quality piece you had to buy the authentic GV version which would set you back over $400 shipped. Recently though another company started making a high quality one for much less and they also happened to sell this sweet cf spoiler so I picked them both up.

Oh I see now lol! Took me a few times looking at the pics! It looks subtle but clean.

Looks good! I'm glad it's not too dark!

Thanks, yeah that's what I was going for was subtle. It's the lightest color they make and it's actually a little darker than I was expecting Laughing

now only if Adam can clean up his lights

Subject: Re: Phil, Ann Arbor, Mazda3 hatch Tue May 31, 2011 11:27 pm

Yeah I went out of my way to have Adams lights tinted. It depresses me that they are not what he wanted...

What's wrong with Adams lights besides the fact that ones broken?

like, i hate the 3's tail lights.

mine are too dark, but are ok for a black car i guess.

Subject: Re: Phil, Ann Arbor, Mazda3 hatch Wed Jun 01, 2011 4:01 pm

Had they not been cracked, I would've rocked the tinted tails. But since I had a brand new light just sitting around, I figured why not crack it open, because I wanted more light output.

Whoa, I'm not trying to get in between 2 tire guys. Laughing

Are you saying you don't think the Conti DWS is a good choice?

Subject: Re: Phil, Ann Arbor, Mazda3 hatch Thu Jul 07, 2011 9:55 pm

In your situation it is a good option. Your size is a difficult one to get tires I'm sure. About Chris I feel like a sales persons views are narrow. He won't sell you a tire he can't get bc that's not his job. I'm gonna look on tire rack to explore some of the tires in your size. Plus I need to look up 16in tire sizes :-)

Subject: Re: Phil, Ann Arbor, Mazda3 hatch Thu Jul 07, 2011 10:01 pm

After looking at what tires tire rack has to offer you def are getting the best tire for the price. They should wear well and right good/low noise. The people that say the DWS's are quite are usually moving from a more performance oriented tire in my experiance and don't get any traction in snow lol!
