I can see people giving the car double takes while I am driving past which makes driving the 2 even more fun.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.corksport.com\/blogs\/141-WhatADifference\/02.jpg\" style=\"display:block;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto\" alt=\"CorkSport Mazda 2\"> <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\">Auto Show Prepped<\/p>\n<p> To get a whole list of what we have done with the Mazda 2 be sure to check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.corksport.com\/project-mazda-2.html\">Mazda 2 Project Page<\/a> for a step by step modification list of what we have done.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <a href=\"mailto:de*****@*******rt.com\" data-original-string=\"oN0gZMgyfeveQV8MDDi2cg==27bSDFNC8zv7Ru3Ag1bmtqSmMMoAPxhT9ph3oXeiidUWRg=\" title=\"This contact has been encoded by Anti-Spam by CleanTalk.
