Ooo! I like that Z-Edge one.

Yeah that would be tricky. Have to get a roll bar so you can mount your camera to it.

Yeah I hid all the wiring under the weathering strips and between interior body panels like so:

You will need to leave a bit of excess wire at the end, the camera needs to travel a good distance when you open the hatch, so about a foot of wire needs to be free. I would say the only advantage mine has to this is that it's low profile and difficult to see from the front. 

 

***also to clarify***

 1440p mode is only available in single cam configuration. You're "limited" to 1080p front and back otherwise

Where did you dig up switched power from? Piggy back off of the USB power?

Fuse box. My kit came with an integrated power converter and fuses so I didnt need to buy a fuse kit to plug into the fuse box, just take one fuse out and position the wires so that it also makes contact with the pins in the fuse box. I might have pictures of my install on my phone, I'll have to look. You might be able to tap into other places as well but the fuse box is by far the most convenient way of doing it

Headlights and covers came out pretty good. Still some moisture spots under the covers but they say they’ll go away within 2 weeks. 

 

Can’t wait to try the headlights at night

 

Xenons are getting tempting. Since it has factory projectors lol. I guess someone at mazda planned on putting factory xenons in the NB2’s but the plan was scrapped?

I feel like Northern States, like mine really don't do these cars any favors.

had them linked in the post, TSW Bathurst Wheel 18"X8". I found others that I liked that were $100 cheaper, might go with those cause that's $400 I save.

 

 

Also got the nod from @Not_Sean for Michelin Pilot Super Sports as a replacement to the factory Goodyear Eagle F1's

hahaha Yeah, they are epic tires, hands down the best I've ever run on all of my ST's. 

 

Also great rim choice. Oz is top quality! 

Can't wait for you to see the rims I've chosen. Should arrive next week.
