Color Coordinated Accessories

I haven't seen a thread like this, so I thought it might be interesting. What color coordinated accessories have you found for your '8? I'll start it off with ones for my VR, but all color variations are welcome.

For those times when you don't want to just listen to the rotary exhaust, you might want to turn on that iPod with the red case (not the best color match, but good enough for government work).

Then for those spirited drives you might want some driving gloves to get that extra grip on the steering wheel. Although not the ultimate, these work gloves fit the bill in a pinch...

[IMG][/IMG]

And of course when you have to leave your baby in the parking lot, you might want to hide the iPod with your Mazda cap.

[IMG][/IMG]

For those occasions when you need to carry some extra large cargo that might damage the back seat interior you might want a microfiber blanket to protect those delicate surfaces......

[IMG][/IMG]

Then on those long treks, your rear passengers might want to keep some liquid refreshment handy in those rotary shaped cups we got from Target back in '05.

[IMG][/IMG]

Now, we all struggle with what to do with those emergency items we know we should have on hand just incase, like jumper cables, that extra quart of oil, a socket set, flash light, etc...... This tool kit bag works just fine, and it even has velcro on the bottom so it doesn't slide around when you take that on ramp at just a bit above the speed limit.... That nice red towel might also come in handy.

[IMG][/IMG]

Since we all want to stay in top shape to handle this beast, when we hop out of the '8 to head into the Gym, we should also have just the right gym bag, right?......

[IMG][/IMG]

And last but not least, to post great threads like this, we should have that special mouse pad........

[IMG][/IMG]

Well, that's a start. Let's see what else you all have come up with........

Zoom, Zoom!

You say that like it might not be a good thing.

Love the cups. Wonder if they come in grey. Zoomy is Galaxy Grey.

I've gotten two matching items. First was a Nalgene water bottle that's mostly translucent, but has a grey lid. Picked that specifically to match. The second was a wristwatch. I had a nice gold-colored Swiss Army watch. When I hit my 35th year anniversary at work, one of the award choices was a silver-colored black-faced Bulova. *Much* better match than the SAW.

The important thing about this sort of activity is that it lets your friends know what matters to you.

I'd recommend some Shiftstlyle interior accessories. Some nice offset red stitching on your interior pieces would fit in. Perhaps some Red Caliper paint.
