I was thinking of doing the lug-nuts, as well as the center Mazda symbol on the wheels (if it wasn't a pain to do).. and I've heard doing the calipers are a pain as well.

Ok, so apparently I ruined the surprise... WikkedOne ordered me some clear corners. I'll get them within the week and post a pic with them in-should make it look better.

At first, we used double-sided tape for all of it, and then we realized that since the front of the car is rounded, the front Mazda symbol had a huge gap under it, so we bought some 5-minute epoxy, and put the front symbol on with that, and we scraped the excess off very gently. We used to a blow dryer to help loosen it up, because at that point the epoxy had dried.

Personally, I don't like it, but then I don't like pink on anything 
If I did like pink, I would consider dying the clear cornered pink as well... check out this thread: https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-exterior-appearance-body-kits-27/using-dye-clear-corners-165896/

Not my flavor, but looks like it was done well. My first thought was that I could easily see these pics in the "What NOT to do with your car" thread if the person who caught it didn't know it had a female owner. Nothing wrong with thinking creatively though.

;p very different... I'd agree that the Pink accents don't match the car. Especially on the back trunk. The red from the tails kind of ruin that. As long as you like it that's all that matters. :D
+1 to the idea of painting the whole car pink and using black accents. I don't like pink at all but that's the route I'd prefer if you go down that path anyways.
