Can't get my digi cam to work with my pc for some reason.
I've only seen one other 8 with the gold accents and it was white. The dealer had an
additional sticker on mine when I bought it saying that the gold accents are a special add-on. They wanted an additional $500 for them but I was able to negotiate with them to add them on for free. Even the centers on the rims have gold Mazda emblems on them. I love them! I get just as many compliments about the gold as I do about my 8.
I'll post some pics as soon as I get them done.

I want to thank all for thier input, both positive and negative, I really do appreciate it. I knew not everyone would like yellow calipers but hey, that's what make each of us different, otherwise we'd all be driving honda's.
I think because of the color contrast, it actually makes my black look a deeper darker black and the yellow in the brakes catch the eye better then black or silver would have. I'm trying to keep the car to no more then 2 or 3 colors, otherwise you start looking like one of those beaters with a different color for each panel.
Again, thanks all...
Now, just need to tint and get some black rims... :D
