New pics of all the RED!

So I had to finish off the Red Wheel color scheme, so I did some interior painting.
Let me know what you all think.





I still want to do the silver semi circle around the radio face. Coming soon.


And here is what got it all started.



I've also done the door sill where it has the RX-8 plate. Not to mention the RR red LED footwell lights and map lights are red LED's also front and rear emblems.



GT-SPec strut bar.

Nice job! Are you keeping a small amount of chrome? Strakes, front and rear rotary accents?

E,

looking great man! Its a very unique look that contrasts the Ti grey well. When you do the semi-circle on the radio it will really tie in the bezels with the a/c *****.

Looks awesome Erik! Like Chris said, it takes some ***** to try and pull it off! But, you did it and it came out great! Is that Velocity Red or something else?

That is really good work, I think it looks great. I especially like what you did with the pieces that run along the center consul on the sides. The silver on mine is getting warn a bit and it is a little scratched.

Strakes and front accent will remain silver. I have the Mazdaspeed rear.
Thanks for the compliments.

That is going to be the fun one to do. But I have to do it to fill that gap.

Thanks to everybody else for the compliments. I'm not quite done yet. Oh and I also jut got a rotor shaped oil fill cap. And guess what,, it's red now too.
I figure the last thing under the hood will be an AEM intake. And yes it will be red.
