i actually have the mazda one ordered via the mazda3 color when i bought the car, it didnt work very well it annoys me when i look at them. saw some new chips resently and was looking for a better solution, the dr. colorchip looks like a good option.

thanks for suggesting it.

And the mandatory interior pic. Even though the Metropolitan Grey Mica is a great color, yet the interior is the best part of the 40th AE

Pico,

Your car is awesome. It was actually part of my inspiration to search and buy a 40th AE. Always enjoy looking at pics you have posted.

The clear corners look really good with the metropolitan gray mica. Need to get a pair of those

Thanks for the kind words
You should definitely do clear corners- cheap mod that modestly brings up the overall appearance

what do you guys think about gold advan RGII's? im not sure how they look. I'd probably buy the rota boosts which virtually look the same and eventually swap to the real ones if i like them alot.

i photochopped them on a MGM real quick.

I agree, if that is a 40th Anniversary Edition you have ruined the exterior with that red whatever!
Who in their right mind would take a beautiful exclusive paint job and do THAT to it ? Again if that is a 40th Anniversary Edition, where are the great OEM wheels, another exclusive?

Everyone has the right to customize their car, but that boy-racer look spoils this car whether just a metro grey or 40th anniversary edition. Sorry, just my opinion.

wow, that's something I would never do to my car. IMHO, the red is way too overpowering, and the design of the stripes themselves is just odd.

Take them off!!!

Well, it could be a photoshop. The badge on the fender looks like the 40th AE badge, but there's like a triangle thing on top of it (hard to tell since the pic is not very good quality). Also, the wheels seem photoshopped as well.
