Wow very clean. I'm lovin' the calipers! Overall looks very nice. One thing though, I'd have the dealer paint those rusty rotors. :D

Very nice car, clean and shiny :D The calipers look great, might just have convinced me to get a set of my own. Oh, and nice color choice, TiGray is the paint color of champions

Took the words out my mouth

Looking good, but I don't know why Mazda didn't use clear corners in the US - they do everywhere else? Stands out more to me as I'm used to them clear as standard.

Nice calipers.

I feel your pain. A week after I picked my 8 up, a rock cracked the windshield.
