Finally... new rear end

**Russellg** · 4-23-06, 14:43

After 2 and a bit years of ownership.
And a significant portion of that searching... I finally got the 3rd brake light and de-badged

I hope you all like it as much as me

looking very slick......

can you make it go side to side knightrider style?.........only jok, its always the small touches thats stand out.

**mattsonthebeach** · 4-23-06, 18:53

looks good, but why didn't you de-lock it at the same time?

**Russellg** · 4-24-06, 2:39

I need the lock there to get in

I haven't got round to fitting the solenoid to do that yet, also the chrome struts failed on me, so I'm back to std struts.

Pressing the button on the remote then lifting the boot just isn't the same as it opening itself

Not ashamed at all.. I stil have the mazda badge on the bonnet (for now).. but the debadged rear just looks so clean.
The old badges were starting to look a little weather worn too.

Next...j-spec rear lights... anyone???
