Looks nice, I'm not too sure about the pink calipers though. (boom01)

 

[stephani3]

yeah, the pink calipers aren't for everyone I love them though.

The yellow overlays are going to go soon. I'm planning on ordering yellow bulbs instead.

lol

I just picked up a can of pink spray paint at Lowes & covered it in a high temp clear coat. It's how i did them last time as well since the HoK paint wasn't high heat and I didn't have any chipping problems

They look good! Have you thought about SilverStar turning bulbs??

LOL they were actually the very first mod I bought for the car... but even my teeny little lady hands can't fit in there to change them out because of the OEM xenons... I think I'll have to go in through the wheel well or drop the bumper to get them in :\

centercaps pwease....

they're being painted as well I got started on them last night. I did the cap in black and left the flying M chrome... thought about getting the CF mazdaspeed caps but they don't fit OEM wheels :\

give me your fogs, and i'll give you mine

K, you has yellow bulbs?

eh, the black painted wheels look good, but I think I like the stock color on your car better. Just my opinion tho

Looks like you used a flat black? I would've used gloss, to match with the shine of the rest of the car .. but still, black is rarely a bad choice overall.

I'm really not a fan of the pink calipers, though. They don't go with the rest of the car at all. .. Also not sure about the yellow fog overlays, but I think you said they're on the way out, so that's good.

Ever think about painting your emblems black? That'd look awesome, go well with the wheels being black, too.

Then again, this is coming from the girl that has OCD with everything on her car being either a dark color or CF. So maybe my advice isn't the best, haha.

I think the only way the pink calipers would really work IMHO is if she had CWP. Otherwise, it's still unique enough in a good way. And being a chick certainly helps pull it off.

Don't know where in WV you are, but there's a meet the last weekend of June in Great Falls Park in McLean, VA.

thats what I was afraid of too because I love the silver stockers on red & black... but I'm pretty happy with them

I used Duplicolor Engine Enamel, it said it was glossy black but it actually turned out to be flat. Which I was expecting anyway, Buttdart told me that's how it would turn out.

I might end up painting the emblems eventually. All I have are the flying M's anyway.

Yep I will be there

& I wish I had a black mica MS3, which was my first choice... I think black and pink go great together
