Finally got some more pics of my car. Just used Meguir's NXT tech wax yesterday.

You like the wax? I was really pleased at the ease of use and shine it produced. Where did you get the billet? Hard to install? Car looks great.

here are my billet grille, tints, and calipers.
yea I know my calipers need touch up. :o

thanks bmcc49er

This wax is great. It was simple to use and gave quick results.

My billet was self-made. It the 10 dollar billet made from chrome moldings. Easy to install, just a pain to make it measure perfect.

WHOA!!!! You measured?!?!?! I just eyeballed it and trimmed 'till it was right.....did you keep your measurements???

No I'm sorry I didn't record measurements. I look to be replacing in a few months, and if no one has posted measurements by then, I will be glad to input the info. But how can someone wait... months...? Yea, sorry English.

Nice stuff, I like the tint, I got double limo on the back 3 windows...looks REAL nice on the sunlight silver...NO one can see in :rolleyes: :p

I'm lookin' into painting the calipers with the "mazdaspeed" logo offered by Polak graphics...was it hard to paint it?

I sure can't see in :eek:

As for Polak's stencils, no not at all. As long as you simply use two different colors. One for the logo, and another for the calipers. Check polak's instructions (http://www.polakgraphics.com/caliperinstall.html) for painting them. You don't have to take apart the caliper's if you don't want to. just wrap up the rotors and etc.

Mine took extremely long to do because I used Duplicolor's Mirage paint. applying 12 layers.

Good Luck little666devil

whoa 12 layers?? How many layers are you supposed to apply and what is the best paint to use? You can call me matt ;)

Haha, Hi Matt, I'm Danny.

If you're planning to use two solid colors, you'll only need about 3 or 4 layers of both colors to make it beautiful. I hear people some use engine paint or VHT caliper paint. Simply check for paint that can stand temperatures up at least 900 degrees F.

Oh I found another pic

Why is your name on the driver side of your car? That's a little cheesy!! Not trying to be sarcastic...... :confused:

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of that aspect either. BUT, with that said, to each his own. Looks good overall though.

is your front window tinted ?

I appreciate the comment guys. I also think it looks a lil too much for the car because of the strakes, but its unique. When I get tired of looking at it, it will be removed. ;)

xdrian,
no my front window isn't tinted. Can't tint the front windshield in California, and I didn't want the top 4 inch tint either. It looks dark in my pictures, though, so I can understand why you're asking.

man, you got to be kidding, the windows aren't tinted? They really look tinted.

No worries. All my windows are tinted except the front windshield. Not sure what percent they are because at the place I got them, they went by level 1-4.

Waiiiit a second. You have a black car. What'd I miss???

I thought that your RX-8 was black?

Check the date. I think he must have trade the old one in and got his current car. I was thrown off for a second too.
