None of the above. Remove the stickers and repaint the calipers red.

 

[Mazdaspeed989]

That's not an option and they were red, i think the yellow looks better. The injen stickers will come off when it gets tinted and the kenwood stickers will come off when i feel like taking the time to take them off. So I'll put you down as a vote for tint

i have a few opinions of your car, hope you don't get pissed off. yellow calipers on a titanium car, just not a good match. maybe it's that shade of yellow (lemonish), darker maybe would be okay. i would try red, or if you wanna be a bit different, orange (gtspec orange color) would be hot with titanium. The appearance mod that looked hottest on a titanium msp is clear turn signals, i would consider those. I'm not really digging the turbo badge, it's either the design of the badge itself (font used), i dunno. if you're gonna tint, don't go too dark. It looks like you got a decent gap at the wheels so lowering would be cool. I don't know what performance mods you have, so i dont know if you really need an fmic or not, unless it's just for looks. But overall you have a very nice car.

lowered it first....then get ur windows tinted.....

Hey thanks for the input, no i won't get pissed. I might have to look into the orange calipers. They were red before and i got bored of it so i changed them to yellow but i've been wanting to clean them up (take them off to paint instead of trying to do it w/ them on the car) so I'll look into that. The emblems are the ones porsche uses on their cars.

Where can I get the clear turn signals? I've seen those on other titanium msp's and i agree they look great.

someone here used to make a set for 8 bucks. it's a simple DIY you just need to get the parts. Try to search and see what you can come up with. Yea i might do orange calipers on my car actually, but it's a laserblue. I'm picturing it to be hotter on a titanium though.

 

[Mazdaspeed989]

Well if i do that i'll def post some pics...actually sounds like something i could do in the next week or so. I searched around for the clear turn signal mod but couldn't find anything, i'll keep looking but if anyone knows of a thread lemme know. Thanks for the input

Also: Any idea where I could get any of the gtspec orange paint? I'd like to see what it looks like

well gtspec makes suspension parts, but they're painted orange. i dunno what the color code is, but that's the shade of orange that would be optimal imo. so just search for any gtspec part on any vendor website, and you'll see what i'm talking about.

 

[Mazdaspeed989]

oh yeah i know exactly what you're talking about. Yeah that would look good, i'll see what i can do. thanks for all the input

i voted tint but i just think that makes anything 10x better looking IMHO. honest dropping it would make a world of difference. the stance of a rig, especially one that can back it up (ie: your grill badge,lol) is where its at.

[Mazdaspeed989]

wait i'm confused? you like the grill or you don't? either way thanks for the toughts

Car is looking great. I like that you put the fogs back on too. I bet it feels good to have it back at school with you.

In response to the other suggestions people have had...

Calipers- not that big of a deal, I think im going back to silver (from a dark blue) this spring, but depends on what youre going for. Orange sounds cool...

Stickers and badges- I think the turbo emblem looks sweet in the grill. Its the same placement as the Mazdaspeed emblems a few other people have put on their grills, and a badge saying "turbo" isn't so wrong IMHO. Its unique, clean, and looks badass the way its sucked back into the grill on the mesh. I mean...hes telling the truth, right?....and stickers...I like the Kenwood sticker, especially the placement, and agree that the Ingen stickers should go when you get the tint done.

Other than that I vote all 3 (thumb)

 

[Mazdaspeed989]

haha thanks for the input...you do see my car quite a bit i guess i should listen to what you've got to say, one of these wkends soon we should do the calipers, i could come back down to cincy for that. yeah i'm def keeping the turbo emblems and probably the kenwood stickers. should be starting work next week so depending on how much i'm making all of the above could be in the near future

And you would vote all 3...you need to catch up in a hurry! Is that Injen CAI in the mail or what?

Early morning bump...i'm going to bed but please leave me some feedback to check out when i wake

Hah. Come on now, you know the panel filter is in the mail. Ive got more important things to worry about now...school, getting a job, learning how to install a clutch and flywheel so I dont get ***** by the dealer at 85 bucks an hour...

Orange calipers would look really nice. I've never thought about orange before. hmmm
