Does anyone have any pics of their rear diffuser/exhause shroud painted. Im thinking of getting my painted but want to see it on someone elses first

A.Mair

I have a friend in Tuscon that got his rear bumper done like this, all painted, and the fake plastic mesh replaced with real aluminum mesh. He posts on here but not much (Chamberlin is his username). I'll try to find a pic for ya.

damm thats nice

A.Mair

yeah thats really nice i love it, it doesnt look so cheap

o wow that is nice. although i think on a white rx8 it looks better black.

bulletproof21

it would probably look fine if you painted it and just left the black mesh alone. Kinda how the opening in the front looks.

bulletproof21

nice, any idea how much your friend paid to have that small section painted?

This is easy to do. I am doing mine in a couple of weeks. I have a spray gun and do painting already. You just need to prep that plastic piece that you are painting perfectly... Any local area car painting supply place can guide you on how to do so...
That Picture is exactly what i am going to do with the wire mesh...

Here you go Anthony, I know you wanna see what it looks like in blue..

A.Mair

oh yeah not to keen on the painted vent things tho

ЯX-8

Well, you don't need to have that painted. you can just cut it out and install a mesh grill. Just wanted to show an example of what it might look like, it's the best that I could find..

A.Mair

yeah for sure dude, its ok with a bit pf photoshop playing, i can get it



looks nice now, i like it

nice one dude

ЯX-8

HEHE Good Photoshop! One a second, I thought it was a real mesh grill. But, it will look good that way!

A.Mair

i think ill still get a real mesh grill though. But that looks good tho now, it looks more expensive dont you think

It looks 100% better than the painted plastic grill. A real mesh grill will make it look even better, especially it will actually vent and release the hot air from the exhaust system.

can we take of the middle piece off the bumper or no?

A.Mair

i think i saw that in a pic somewhere before here, looked kinda weird tho

A.Mair

that part is attached to the bumper, i got some diamond black mesh so now im painting it

ЯX-8

Where did you get it and what about the exhaust shroud? Did you get a new one of are you still using the one I gave you?

A.Mair

i got a new one from mazda, 50 dollars. I go tthe mesh from custom car grills dude

ЯX-8

$50 is not bad.. Are you gonna cut the rotor triangle part, too? I think you should, it will make it look good..
