Goldmember - My MX3 V6 Turbo
It's been a long road, but the car is finally in a state that I consider done...for now.
Painted (The car's nickname is Goldmember, so the color choice was obvious)
Shaved a few things (listed below in mod list)
Painted the Engine Bay
Got the OEM Side Skirts
Mazdaspeed Front Bumper
Powdercoated the engine bay to match the color scheme of the car
Trapped 120mph
Made an 11 second pass
Only a few things left to do on my list. As I complete them, I'll add them to the list of accomplishments.
