Call Ken at 909-773-0820 for pricing. They've got them in stock. They come in glossy black gel coat, but this has been sanded and shot in two-part PCL flat black primer. Graphics are done in gloss black vinyl, but need to be changed to something a bit brighter soon. It's a little too subtle now.

Thank you very much.

Seen it on a few EVO, STI, and 240s... i think the 8 can pull it off as well.

Been talking to a few companies about gloss carbon fiber "flares" for the bulges on the fenders. Go "old school" with a rivet-on design to increase track width without adding big, heavy, molded-on fenders.

I will definitely NOT be painting my car flat black! LOL It is interesting to note that the PCL (Pacific Coast Lacquer) flat black primer withstands impacts far better than the OEM Mazda paint!

Yup! :D I might remake the supports so that they're a few inches lower, but I do like how outrageous it makes the car look. I just couldn't find a rear lip spoiler I like. EVO-R's are too small IMHO. The larger ones seem to do a stupid wrap-around that I don't like. (R-Magic). Since I was going to a Formula D show, I mounted up a "Formuld D" type wing! It is adjustable so I can actually generate a bit of downforce. It also does provide a "straightening" effect in heavy crosswinds. On my last trip across the desert to L.A. I was wondering why everyone else was weaving so much, until I stopped for food and had to struggle to push my door open against the wind!

Thanks! I was actuall angling for the Enkei Hyper Black finish, which is a very glossy, reflective black finish! Would have looked fantastic, but Enkei didn't have any in the country at that time. The silver finish on the wheels has even been waxed, inside and out. No, I'm not **** about my car at all! I need a sherpa guide to reach the front door when I park in the "north 40" at a mall or shopping center!

LOL ... you were off making movies riding across the dam!

Jamal and I stayed in Robbinsville though so we had to drink their beer! If you really wanna have a good week, come to the BOTD in September! Much more of a social event with some Dragon slaying mixed in between.
