Well, I figured it was about that time I hit enough mods to do one of these build threads.. So here goes nothing
Acquired my 2004 Glacier Silver V6 MT 6S in October of 2013 with 83K on it. I got it because I totaled my Black 2007 ATX 6i at 132k miles :'(

Yeah... I really didn't feel like messing with nite shade in case I didn't like it, and didn't have money at the time to buy new tail lights cause I'm not a fan of the bright red housing.. They're not dipped heavy or anything they have a super thin coat on and the light shines through very bright still.. Been searching for speed6 tails to replace them with. Just been a pain to find for the right price
JDM Window Visors came in on Friday, got them on right away before leaving for vacation. Pictures will be coming shortly. Love checking things off the "Things I want to do" list!!
Always great crossing something else off! Installed Led Underglow Interior lights to a red led toggle switch in the dummy slot in between traction control button and dimmer for dash lights
I like it, I mean I don't hear it much over the catback exhaust system but I like it. I went with SRI cause my CAI on my other 6 I had a little water trouble so I went with the safe route if it meant sacrificing a little extra heat
I got a Short "mazda speed" carbon fiber antenna in that I ordered for dirt cheap. I mean clearly the mazda speed is painted on and I know it doesn't come on the stock speed6, but hey, it's way better than the stock one on our 6's!
Had some down time today so i took out my Canon Rebel t3i and went to an industrial park to take some pictures of the whip. so picutres in original post are updated to all the mods i currently have done!
Updated engine cover with newly modified oil cap.. Took the 6 badge from the back, painted it, and put it on the newly painted oil cap to give me the finished product.
2 updates: Well the last oil cap cover looked like a kindergartner made it... So j had to redo it. I painted the cap black and painted the 6 badge the same metallic silver as the engine cover to match. Oh and just degreased/washed the whole bay so here's a shot of the updated bay and then I replaced my 6000k HID's with 8000K which are much brighter. I was hoping for a little more blue tint and I'm still not 100% satisfied but it looks okay for now
Thanks man and I got it on eBay. Just searched Mazda logo less grill and then you have a decent amount to pick from. I repainted it myself a glossier black than what it came but they have a bunch of different styles
Hope you guys are having a wonderful Friday so far, my friend and I made a little car wash cinematic with my 2015 Mazda 6! Appreciate if you checked it out and if you liked it make sure to comment/like the video :). I upload every Monday and Friday so make sure to subscribe to keep up with the...
I picked up this 2014 GT yesterday morning with 53.5k miles for $13.9k. I needed a new daily as my 25 yr old, 299k mile, 1993 Mazda Protege, DOHC swapped and lowered daily, finally struck a nerve after 12 years of ownership.
The GT, from my conclusion, has every option for the 2014 model. No...
Back when I first got her in August.... Went with Deep Crystal Blue, Tech Pack and Bose. Auto only with these packages, bummed me out but the wife was happy.

I decided to make a "build thread" about my car. I put quotations around build thread because although I am going to do stuff to the car, I'm not going to be posting daily/weekly/install pics or whatever, just occasional update pics after something gets done and I get the chance to take them...
Thought I would create this thread to share the things I have done and will do to my 6 and hopefully get some tips or suggestions as well.
The things the car still needs:
Front seats (both were torn when I bought it)
A complete paint job (just look at some of the pictures...its rough) COMING...
