Maybe not, my first mod may be the rotary accents. I'll start small! So you guys can help me decide. Should I paint the brake calipers, and if so which colour from those Mazda offer? It should match titanium with red interior so I vote for red.

I like the red. I do have a question:
How do you paint them and what kind of paint do you use?

I don't really know much about this, but I'm getting silver red/black and I think red calipers would look real classy.

I searched online and this guy did the best job I found (for a do it yourself)

i saw the new subaru wrx sti and it has gold brembo brakes!! that looked awesome...

red is definitely classic but then again a lot of people has 'em...

Another thing you can do is paint it red and have the mazda logo polished or painted white... i saw some people do this on their rx7 and its definitely different!!

the 300zx I posted the link to had 'Nissan' Painted in White too. If there is 'Mazda' written on them, you can be sure its going to be red with glossy silver 'Mazda'

I like the pics you've posted with mazda written in. Unfortunately the dealer option for this looks really dull in comparison. I don't think I'll bother!

Hmm. First mod will be coilovers and new rims & tires for the track.

that dealer option is for a brake cleaner, it has nothing to do with coloring the calipers, just a cleaning spray.
