You should paint the brake fluid cap as well for a balanced look. I painted my washer fluid and brake fluid caps OEM VR. The oil cap is OEM Mazdaspeed.

Pretty much And I only say that because I don't know the real name of the blue.

Wasn't really trying to be original, but just a clean setup/install which I think I accomplished. I don't see many here that have an incredibly clean greddy install. Also, since I am probably the only turbo'd 8 in my area, I guess you can consider that original.

FWIW, I like gold rims on WB, BB, WWP, VR, PB....etc....just not on silver

yes that you did accomplish..very clean...most people misconcieve "original" for tacky, busy vehicles but something unique and tasteful..im still planning on mine...

Finished the CAI install last night. I don't like the two blues together so that will be changed. I think they look ugly together.
