sooo true, unless you are really improving the performance or reliability mechanically, i agree.

I'm not a fan of the silver gas cap either

i'm no designer or anything but I'd say that the issue I would give for not liking the mods you have done is that there seems to be no direction where you are going with it. The bule calipers clash with everything, the chrome gas cap lid stands out a little too much(I think a brushed steel one would look much better) and those rims are just to busy. I'm not trying to be a dick or anything but you are ASKING for opinions. But although its cliche, if you like it thats all that matters.

Well, the fuel door isn't chrome, it is the brushed aluminum. THough it still looks very shiny when the light hits it the right way. The wheels passed my car club test at my last meet, so I guess everyone is entitled to their opinion. Thanks for the comments... Oh yeah.. the blue calipers were painted black about a week ago.. this is an old thread

Why succumb to opinions here? The blue looked great, now that black, can't even see em, at least with blue they stand out. With your silver 8, paint em red...pix tomorrow? :D Btw, nice Italian rims.

when i bought my RX-8 the calipers were discolored and the drums were rusted. I had my dealer buff the drums and repaint them. i chose blue for the calipers on my silver RX-8 and everyone who has seen them, like them. Its all about preference i guess. after all these comments i dont know whether or not to show it. either way, philodox, do whatever you like. just my $.02

I think it looks good. Silver and blue go together. Just asK the Dallas Cowboys.
