What have you done to your P5 today?

can somone do a good photoshop of mazdaspeed3 wheels please.
I want to get some and powdercoat a gloss black on them. Thx to ScatchNSniff's car for being a good car to photoshop them on.

Not a fan of black wheels myself, I think the wheels being silver does a good job of breaking up the yellow and black theme...

Lol...I went by that little pic and was like...that looks familiar and then saw your post and realized why I recognized it...

I did have a photoshop of the the black on there and didn't like it honestly which is the reason I decided not to do it...they just really didn't flow like I was expecting...unfortunately I don't still have the photoshoped pic...

I agree, when you have such a bold color, like yellow, which is contrasted starkly by black, the silver does a good job of keeping the car from being too "in your face" with the yellow/black contrast. Its easier on the eyes IMO...

I feel the same way about my red BMW, black wheels would hurt the eyes with the contrast between the bright red and black. The silver helps ease such brightly contrasting colors.

But yes, to each their own...
 
My favorite picture of my car so far. Taken this past winter in Flagstaff, AZ just a few hours north of me.

Car looks good in that pic, and so do the black wheels, but with mine I have the mirrors, turn signals, bumper lights, rear valence, keyhole surround, tail lights done in black and with the wheels it was way overboard which is part of the reason I decided to take the black Mazda3 rims off...
 
yah it was from a rear end collision, car is finally in the body shop right now. The only visible damage from the outside was look like hood was popped , missing grilles, and headlights pushed in a lil. But once u opened the hood u can see the supports pushed back a bit. Damage is around 5300 dollars, yikes.
 
...red BMW, black wheels would hurt the eyes with the contrast between the bright red and black. The silver helps...

I like a soft silver like Hyper-silver (vs Chrome or Black)
 
THX, just painted stockers for now. So if I just have a few things , it wont be overboard and the mzspd3 wheels will prbly look good. I have black headlights , yellow fog layovers, stock grille w/ black emblem all going on at the bodyshop.
 
found some time to work on my car on my day off today. import alliance is this week end here in nashville so i wanted to get the last of my parts installed. i got the carbon intake tubes with hks mushroom filter installed. along with some obx silicon rad hoses. and lastly my gt spec rear cage got put in. this thing really stiffens up the ass end:) i finished cleaning up my jic cat back tonight. gonna polish the pipes up tomorrow at work. now for bad cell pics:(

What paint did you use?? Mine looks like crap to.

I was thinking about just going with a glossy or slightly metallic black.
