OOOH, you have a sedan. Don't listen to me then... in the P5 it's WAY easier just taking everything out (and doesn't take very long), but I don't know what needs to be done on the sedans.

No no .. mine's a P5. But I have the MSP sub/amp rack installed back there which means I would have to disconnect the amp, take out the rack, take apart the panels, then reinstall everything. Too much work .. WAY too much work.

And yes, all of those strut bolts are a pain in the ***
at least for those of us who live in the non-slave states :P

well, sort of - i did the fog light mod so i can use them with only the parking lights, not the headlights, and i use them more for DRL's than actually seeing. they are too low to the ground to throw any real usable light - but, it is more than 6ft

I pulled my fogs in favor of the delete kit from onlinemazdaparts. Way cooler unless you are going for the rally car look.
Yesterday I spent 4+ hours dremeling my rear endlinks off (and 2 hours dremeling your mom's rear endlinks ; ). But it was worth it, cause now I have a nice stiff rear made possible by Racing Beat and GTSPEC.
While I was down there I checked out my exhaust a bit, and there is *no* way I am going to get the stock axleback off of that car. Rust has literally fused it together, same at the midpipe joint. I guess its stock exhaust for me, yay MI.
