I trimed the plastic off the bumper to make it clean, but I could rig something to put back the grill, I dont think i will. I really want the lights for travel on open very dark roads going out to mid florida where i live. I think the grill will block alot of light. Its partly for show, but mostly for go

Look at the grill. He has a 3i.They don't come w/fog lights unless you (dealer?) option them in.

Virgin1 is correct, its a 3i. I did take the cheap plastic black and silver out about a week after I bought the car.
I was going to put mesh in like I had on my dodge neon, but then i liked it without. Plus I keep a "Hide a Key" in the right opening so when I go running or blading I can get back in the car.

I need new sneakers soon for the Mazda. Virgin1 I know you have writin on this about size. I dont want to go all the way to 225/45/17 Wont 215/50/17 be a little WIDER or No. I want something a little wider but keep a little height to absorb bumps.

I did the 215/50's in a set of Falkens I own/owned.
I'd suggest a better alternative of 215/45's, though your speedo will be off a lttle more w/them.205/50's (OE's)= 804.44 revs/mile. 215/50's= 792.01 revs/mile. Speedo error= +1.02 @ 65mph. 215/45's= 819.24 revs/mile.Speedo error= -1.17mph (You'll think you're going faster than you are. Safer when cops are involved.)
You will also notice a slight increase in gearing.Take-off (launch) should be a little quicker, like going from a 3:73 final drive to a 3:80... a 1.84% increase.
