A little update. Rolling on a different set of wheels (Mazdaspeed MST-II wheels 18x7.5")

I didn't like the old red gauges on red numbers either. When I test drove a 08, I had a hard time checking my speed at a glance. I was real glad when my 08.5 came in, the white needles made a huge difference.

If this guy will ever post a "how-to" on his gauges, i'm going to invert my Tach to white only and leave the rest red.

I just bought some mazdaspeed hood stripes for mine. Have to wait for the weather to get a little warmer before I put them on ::sigh::
 
white cars are popular here around the houston area... it gets hot... damn hot, so a white car make sense... definitely if you like to carry surfboards around in the summer (mine fit in bags, so it doesn't matter)....

personally, i would have bought silver if it was available (i don't understand) i like the red, and i feel it might be the more elusive color in our area for the '09s.. though the fuzz does seem to notice red more around here (100mph is 100mph, i don't care what color you are driving)..

i was very surprised the wife liked the white.. she has had nothing but white cars and really wanted a different color. but when she saw the white, she was... 'hmmmm, it's a different white...i really like it!'.... she was noticing the slight color change it has when the light hits it just right the other day while i was putting a bit of wax on the front end... 'i'm really glad we got the white', she said, handing me a beer. i told her it was 'CPW' white... she said, 'CPW? cool, pearl white?' ... that works for me, babe!

pretty cool, indeed. :)
