...just noticed you removed you side moldings-- looks good! Again, the wheels are a very nice choice!
Do it! It's such a fun car, but still really practical for IKEA trips Even straight from the factory, it looks and runs great. With a couple mods, it really opens up the power though I was pressured to take off the side moldings by the Mazda community. I'm glad I did though, looks better imo and was really easy to do.

You know, they just seemed like they were too low to actually help anything. The door kinda slants down and the moldings were below the slant I'm extremely anal about where I park though (always on ends right next to the curb, at the very least) so I've been ok so far!
