Taka, you post up some great shots. I know you're not taking them, because you're the one inside the car enjoying what most of us can only dream of doing. The red lugs looks awsome at those speeds. 
Here's me, leading one of our groups through the canyons in Malibu, getting some love from the Lambo website. Thought it was cool they took a pic of me, and posted it on their site. They were parked along the side of the road to take a picture of their 13 lambos...all the same model (which I don't know which one)...but it was an amazing site.

Now, if you were referring to the Axis wheels, you would have to see what Xrider01 has.

that is the lightest variant of the amazing gt-n

They are not special orders. I simply got bored one night and took out the centre caps and mask the mazda logo - and then spray paint them. They are actually red

If you were in Melbourne Australia ... you will be in the track by now. I set up a group of trackie anonymous - and we have session meetings - on the race track
More pics coming... when my server start functioning normally

I came very close to ordering a Brilliant Black. I was wavering until the last minute. In the end I chose Sunlight Silver.
My first Miata, 1998 (model year 1999) was Brilliant Black. Four years I loved that colour, but it was SO... MUCH... WORK... Swirls appeared with a vengeance despite tremendous care and careful dry cloth selection. The car looked old before its time.
I'm 35. My enthusiasm for endless cleaning and polishing has waned.

horizontally.Yeah euro plate. There is a custom real euro style for A$600. No way I would do it. Although the queen came to Melbourne last month for the Commonwealth games did boost the sale a bit.
I was bored and made a wall paper for myself. Not as good as the last person made for me 2 years ago... but I guess time for a change.

You have the best pictures on this website if you ask me. Or maybe it's because you have the best color... I don't know, probably both. What do you use to get your car looking that good?

Thanks.
It is certainly not my car but my photographer.
https://www.rx8club.com/showpost.php...&postcount=368 - in this link - this is his work - after taken the photo, the pic has gone through some artisitic touch up to make it look good. It is a combination of levels adjustments, burn and dodge tool.
Look at www.rx-8.mazda.co.jp. Look at their flash site - and concentrate on photo only. If you take those in real life they will never comes out like so - there is a lot of levels, sharp tool, and even repaint to make it that good.
If you see my car in real life - you will see a lot of stone clips from all the track days I have been to.
