azmz6’s 2004 Mazda MAZDA6

Interior Lighting Just recently had some blue interior lighting added to the 6. It was done By Led Creations. I had 2 cold cathode lights installed under the dash, and 2 under the seats. Along with adding some leds into the ac vents. And 4leds were also added into the roof lights to complete the blue look. No such things as to much blue in my opinion!

So i decided that i have the need to play dvd's and video games in my 6. Thus i decided to take the time (30 hours to be exact), and install a slimline ps2 into my glove box, along with a 7" Blaupunkt Monitor in the upper compartment. Here's the install pics along with the finished product. Heres the Spacer i crafted to space the ps2 up, and allow a pocket to hide the wiring. It also allowed the the room to have a switch to turn the power supply on and off. Heres the base along with the felt the i used to cover it and the bottom of the glove box. A pic of the install, this was a test for all the devices to make sure all was a go. As you can see by the Fort Minor Video playin', all was a go. a test fit of the ps2..... And The finished product in all its glory. More than worth the 30 hours. Finally, heres a close up of the ps2 in action, i made a little clip to hold the glove box open only a slight amount, so the ps2 can vent, and alos so the memory card and reciever for the wireless controller can hang out.

Just recently changed out the taillights from the standard euros to the tinted euros....for the full on jdm look. They also very closely match the hyper black in my 5Zigen Fno1r-c's. Heres a pic with the tinted on the left and the non-tinted on the right. Not the greatest light for this picture, but i believe the difference can be seen. Shot these pics while i was up in prescott valley putting on the full set of hawk hps brake pads. Which i might add, really improved the stopping ability of the 6. She just plain looks sweet in the rain. The calipers on my 6 have also had that finishing touch done to them. Added some black paint on to them along with the "mazda" decals on the front caliper. Pic on the right is in the process....had to kinda arrange the car in a wierd way in the driveway due to the fact that it was raining, and we needed cover. The garage is half way filled with my 1969 cougar, so this was a good substitute. The DaveB antenna that i have added. Did this mod after a good friend (dabeaks2k, Matt) showed me this little trick. Took out the trim rings around the outer a/c vents and painted them body color. It really adds a little touch of the exterior color, without going overboard. Heres showing all the added lighting in the hind quarters of my 6. I have modded the bottom reflectors to light up, and also have done the 4 light mod to the main brake lights. Moding the rear reflectors

Modifications This is my VIS Evo carbon fiber hood that I got from Apex Motorsports in Tempe, AZ. I also upgraded and got the sport grill. Heres a pic after i blackened out the "m"blem... and had added blue rockblocker to the headlight housings. also i ditched the silvia parts eyelids. i ran without eyelids for quite a period of time till i got the valliant eyelids.(pics to be added) I removed my headlights and baked them in the oven to take them apart. Then painted the chrome plastic to a nice trim black. Put them back in the oven to seal the glue and reinstalled on the car. This is what the front of a Mazda 6 looks like torn apart. My car after my headlights were painted. A big thanks goes out to Ian (6ownzu) for the inspiration to do the tinting of the headlights. An updated pic with the valliant eyelids, and the blue rockblocker.... Antoher pic for the hell of it... Heres a underhood pic to show off some of the hottness under the hood....Freedom Design Strutbar (painted red braces black) also the carbon fiber engine cover picked up from mazda6stuff and added a custom decal to the top of it, difficult to see (but its there) B&M tranny cooler, tommytran grounding system, And the best part of all of it, The Custom Perfomance Engineering Mafci intake system. Heres a handy link to thier site, as they offer some rather impressive mods for the 6. The CP-E MAFCI while it was awaiting installation... Close up of the Carbon Fiber Engine Cover Up close and person with the Tommy Tran Grounding Kit Cannot forget the tein hood dampners to help hold the hood up. Recently Installed the cp-e motor mount to reduce engine movement, and increase traction. And i must say, i was expecting the mount to really increase vibrations inside the car, and i was drastically wrong. I could notice more vibration in the steering wheel at idle, but nothing major. And once on the power, no difference at all other then the fact the i have more traction on take off. A pic to show how stout this mount is compared to the pathetic stock mount, that was torn btw. Have to include this sweet shot looking down through one of the vents in the evo hood....
