are you going for looks or speed? I think aftermarket rims would look great with your mazdaspeed replica kit. if not get a greddy exhaust!

 

not speed but i still want the car to handle well so ill go with 18s. post up some pics of wheels you think would look good. i think gunmetal would look great. let me know

 

the back bumper is getting clear coated as i type

 

heres some quick pics i just took.

 

 

i think you should have cut out those wheel vents in the rear bumper. i think i might prefer the bottom part painted in a rubber black though. still, it looks really nice. cant wait to see it in person.

 

Its looking good!! Are you doing this right now?? I wish I was there to see first hand cause I find it amazing that your doing it in your garage.

 

Here is the OZ's I recommeded earlier...
And A set of Enkei ZR1's, and RPM2's. That was left to right, and all in gunmetal. Also all relatively light weight, and available in stock similar sizes. 18x8 or wider for around $350 or under.

 

i was considering cutting out the vents but didnt want to deal with all the body work. i want to paint it black and will most likely after rotor jam. im just happy its painted
thanks and yeah that was about an hour ago. and now its back outside in my driveway i have more pics but the camera died. the battery is charging.

i like all of them i was looking at tirerack.com and those oz are 18.4 lbs. thats amazing i might buy them. should i go with silver finish?

 

 

How much was the total amount you payed to do this in your garage? Does you work done match body shops standards? Would you do this for a fellow rx8 owner?? If so how much? LOL... Cause I would rather pay someone who is close to there cars than a shop cause I've been screwed by shops in the past. PM if you do want to post prices and stuff.

 

all i paid was for the materials paint, reducer, doublesided tape for sideskirts, buffer, meguiars machine glaze and final inspection. theres some more stuff i just cant think of it right now.

 

i think i want to get the racing beat rear spoiler and debadge my trunk.

 

Looks great. If you have some dental floss inside, you already have everything you need to debadge the trunk, and between you and your dad, you have the skill as well. Go for it.

RB wing would finish the look off as well.

I say stick with the funmetal, dark wheels, but it's certainly up to you. You could always add some blue claiper paint to copntinue with the blue. IF you add the matte black to the back bimper, it will contrast well with tinted windows and dark wheels.

IMO, of course, it's your car and it looks great.

 

yeah im just worried about the 5 post in the mazda and flying m logo.and for a spoiler i just want something subtle so i think the rb wing is a good choice. i really like gunmetal with wb i might go with work emotion.


i wish i had photoshop and was good at it.

 

As you can see by my suggestions, I like the work emotions as well, btu they are heavier and more expensive then the OZ's... And twice as much and rough;y the same weight as the first set of similar looking Enkeis...

 

im stuck between oz and work emotion.

 

 

looks great. just take off the badges and put that wheels what u post with blue lip! then the car will look perfect

 

thanks i started to debadge today

 

 

^Those wheels would look sick on your car!

 

thanks

 

You should paint the lower part of the kit like the real mazdaspeed kit

 

^Yeah, it's a gunmetal color. And i definitally agree.
