Got reflector film from www.rockblocker.com. Took off the 3 and 2.3 emblems. Painted the Mazda emblems and Axela emblem. Smoked the sidemarkers. I'm really in love with my car.

Not a fan of smoked lenses, but looks really good. Only other thing i'd change is not to cover up the rear lower reflectors (i know defeats the purpose) but they area safety issue in my mind.

Hard to tell for sure from the pics, but the badges look like they match the wheels really nicely.
 
nice picks, nice look.... deffinatly like the eye lids... where you pick those bad boys up at??
 
wow....love the emblems. I may have to do that. was it hard to take the emblems off to paint them? Also, I may just be an idiot, but I cannot find any kits for the reflectors and stuff...how much did you spend on that?
 
Looks hot rum.

How are the Rear Smoked Reflectors to put on? Are they just simple peel off a backing and stick on?
 
I got the eyelids from accolade. In fact they use my car in their ebay auctions :)
I got the rear reflector film from a local company here named rockblocker (rockblocker.com). Yes they just stick over the reflectors.
For the 2.3 and 3 badges i just used dental floss to saw through the adhesive and then goo gone to remove the adhesive. With the Mazda emblem and logo i used dental floss to saw through the adhesive and then pryed them off with a flat head screwdriver since the are stuck on with pins. Now they just snap on and off. For the paint i used Krylone Fusion GLossy Black and then put a clear coat over it.

Thank for the comments!

so you didn't need to pull the little cup like retainer things off, on the inside of the trunk lid that hold the badge pins in?

You just pulled the badge from the outside, but did those cup things stay on? is that what you mean by *snaps* back in now?

thanks.
 
So is that the same yellow as the msp? (dumb question, don't feel like searching...)
