Thanks, I got the sticker from rx8strakes.com. It is the one with the solid black rotar around it....I didn't like the looks of it, so I peeled it and left the center decal. Made it look much cleaner.

How about matching the back seats with black paint and painting a huge rotor on it.
Or just painting a big black rotor on both back seats.

What about finishing the piece on the rear deck, above the pass-through cover? Not sure if it would end up looking odd or not. Or is it too much of a pain? I painted the sides of my center console Ti Gray and those ended up looking good. (Best compliment is when people think it's OEM and can't tell I've painted em.)

As a fellow LY owner, I know what you mean. But I'm thinking possibly of going with a yellow/red/black theme, given the red interior lighting and red and yellow being triad colors.

What kind of paints are used for this sort of painting?

^Since you're brave enough to take on that project.... I will await the finish product to base my future decisions... hee hee!!

It sounds like a good color combo, I would just need to see it!

Yeah, I'm planning on using CAD and photo-editing to visualize it before I take too much of a plunge...

I use automotive paints. At work we are using a system made by House of Kolors. But any Automotive paint will work.
