Freshly done rims, yay or nay? Blacking out corners is next.

I'm going to black out my oranges.

pdxhak 04-01-2009 04:27 PM

Is it just me or is everyone painting the OE wheels...

OP,

It really needs tuner lugs, black center cap, drop and clears.

dozer 04-01-2009 04:28 PM

PD i agree with everything you just said

Clear Corners or Blacked Out Corners...not sure which yet..
A drop would make it impossible for me to get in my driveway because i already scrape.
Does anyone know how to get the mazda symbol off the center caps so i can paint them?

pdxhak 04-01-2009 04:46 PM

IMO too much black is overkill. It helps to have some subtle color breaks that flow with the overall look of the car.

AngryBumblebee 04-01-2009 05:02 PM

clear sidemarkers keep center cap and lugs the same and get tinted rear tailight overlays. and tint on windows. Check out how I did my car... its in SSGGBB multimedia thread posted by rawrx8

PSTNLSS 04-01-2009 06:06 PM

Looks good!

dondo 04-01-2009 06:17 PM

It's illegal here and i'm not allowed to drive anyone for another 6 months so the less cop attention the better.

pdxhak 04-01-2009 06:28 PM

what about tinting your rear window?

Zepo. 04-01-2009 06:31 PM

Doing that soon. Havn't been in the mood for smashing myself against the cramped back area.

Fortunate Few 04-02-2009 12:29 AM

very hot but please paint the center caps for some reason everyone forgets to.

+1 on smoking the fronts too.

jish54 04-02-2009 01:18 AM

the way i did mine was i took off the wheel and pushed the center cap through then pried off the emblems. its pretty easy and fast and should only take like 10-15 minutes. be really careful when you pry though try to pull straight out or else one or more pins will break off. i broke about two pins in the recent process of painting mine i had to super glue the emblem back onto the center cap. other than that i think i did a fantastic job lol

emmers 04-02-2009 05:02 AM

by the way looks very sexy! i think either or with the clear or blacked out corners would look really nice, anything but orange!

N rider89 04-02-2009 05:21 AM

yeah the mazda symbol has some tabs that go through that you can just pop through. paint'em and the pop the symbol back in.

Thanks! I tried prying them earlier and got scared that i was going to break it.

Sand Really Good > 3 Coats Dupli-Color Wheel Paint (Flat Black) > 2 Clear Coats.

Alucard 04-03-2009 11:58 AM

they came out good.. needs a drop now

jones75254 04-03-2009 02:48 PM

Looks WAY better than stock silver. I like it, u can never have too much black IMO, nice job

frakesbd 05-01-2009 09:52 PM

looks good man.. i have a murdered out 8 as well, maybe look at getting some fender strakes and painting them flat black.. my favorite thing ive done thus far, it looks like my little missles

NACer4lyf 05-01-2009 11:25 PM

have you done the tinting on headlights/tail lights? i know some are for it some are against it

me i think it looks sweet on pretty much any color

frakesbd 05-03-2009 05:59 PM

i have not tinted the tail lights because it just doesnt look right, but i have put eyelids on the headlights and i am really satisfied with how that looks... yesterday i painted all of my emblems flat black, SOO sick! when it comes down to it, it's your car for a reason and do what you want with it to make it the way YOU want it to look

Bighurk 05-03-2009 06:06 PM

good job

euro05rx8 05-04-2009 09:02 AM

i got my sides tinted black and rear lights tinted too and looks sick. i have to paint my rims black. u should throw some paint on the brack calipers. itll pop some color in there and will make it look great. i will post some pics when i can. oh and get some eye lids on there too. looking good man.

mscamp02 05-04-2009 09:11 AM

I like it....looks clean. Are you going to black out your tails and headlights

Looks good mang! I left mine the same way (lugs and center caps) and love it... kinda gives it an off set if that makes any sense.

Ya, my brake calipers are painted silver, with gold duralast pads which really stand out. I might paint them gold, not sure yet.

Nah, that's just overkill IMO.
