Edit: Newer pictures in latter pages.

Hey guys, I never really got around to posting a "new guy" thread. And so I figured its better late than never.

I drive an '09 Mazda 6i Grand Touring MTX. I got her July 19 at 2400 miles. Now she's up to almost 9600 miles. Absolutely love the car. I actually just happened to stumble upon her at a dealership when car hunting and got an Amazing deal. Its my second car. I drove a '98 Kia Sephia for 3-4 years before this one. My parents chose my 1st car for me, so I was pretty much stuck with it. Always wanted a manual but the Kia was automatic...boring. And let's just say going from that car to this fully loaded 6 is definitely an upgrade of a couple of levels haha.

Here's a pic of my old car next to my new baby a few days after getting her.

thanks man! now sometime in the future i jus have to get my bumper repainted and have the holes filled.


Looks good. Did you drill into the bumper or use that radiator bracket hole I mentioned?
i just drilled into the bumper where the lower grill is. so if i decide to get rid of it for some reason there will be no visible holes. i didn't have anything to mount the bracket to the radiator hole with. worked well though.

For a second there I thought you had gone crazy and installed a mini sat dish on your roof and then I realized it was just the neighbors basketball hoop lol. Plate looks better than I expected. Still not a huge fan but glad you like it after doing the work.
