Thanks. Just picked her up tonight, so still need to buff it a little. So glad to see all the rock chips gone. Also painted the grey plastic on the rear bumper and exhaust shrouds. Looks real sweet. Sun was setting so i'll get some pics tomorrow of it.

I've been thinking of just getting the front resprayed due to rock chips (no one else notices, but I do). How much did it run you Teoz if you don't mind my asking?
I see you retained the Mazda badge. I might have removed if I respray which of course will be more to fill the holes and prep.
Nice eyelids!

Thank you, yes the paint matched up perfect. Had both bumpers done about 2 monthes ago. Now just had front hood and front fenders done. Chip free for a few days atleast I hope.
Here are a couple I took today in the sunlight. Can see how I had them do the back bumper. Came out nice.

I had a place put on a great clear bra to help with the rock chips and I couldn't be happier. It conforms with the curves of the fenders and hood perfectly and so far I haven't seen a single new chip appear. The only time I even notice that it exists is when the morning dew makes diffrent size drops on the bra vs the paint.

Hey all,
New to the fourms, but just last weekend I bought my first 8 ('05 Black Cherry Shinka) and love it to death. Hope to make/meet new friends and learn more. If anyone is interested in pictures check out the link at the end. Kinda did a small shoot with my best friend and his 8. https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-multimedia-photo-gallery-6/pair-eights-198750/

Personally, I like the badges on the BCM, although I'm paint matching all the chrome on the entire exterior to match my Advan RS's that I'm getting so it's more muted. =) The chrome isn't that bad though. I think debadging is more dependant on color really.
That painted lower bumper looks pretty slick btw.
