I do believe that the pics that both you and i took of our cars do no justice for the mods that we did. Everyone does have to see it in person to understand.

Oh yeah and I in no way intended to hijack your thread as PEPE said. Sorry if I did.

 

If I had a black car I would go for the painted vents. However with a titanium gray, silver vents dont match. I have been thinking about matching the vents like ninedeep did, but it looks a bit too plain to me. Probably just end up leaving those like they are, although I am painting the rotary symbols in the front and back, and have started to cut out the diamond mesh pattern on the rear bumper underside.

What a PITA, but once I am done I think it will look pretty nice. Also considered getting some diamondplate custom cut and mounting it there, but I couldnt find a good enough way to atach it.

Also painted on the front grill a set of cartoon vampire teeth. I promise to get a pic soon, but damn, it makes me laugh whenever I see the car. Water based paint though so I can change my mind on that one.

 

I agree

 

mine is silver and the black stands out, but it looks great on a black car, would look good on titanium and green as well, red silver, & yellow, the black really stands out. Never was able to drive a Miata, being 6'4"', that would be about 190 cm for our metric friends

 

Hey, I really like the yellow vent on the red car. A few other yellow accents would make a sharp appearance, imho. As far as the silver on black, I think it's excellent - very sharp. Now I think I need to come up with a color for the yellow car... I'm not happy with black anymore

 

hey bro what up you guys all know kelrx8 my buddy from jersey i just moved with my rx8 from jersey i have a blue mazda rx8 i custom painted at my dads shop the ugly black plastic on the bottom of the bumper blue and the grill it looks great in the back but the front grill started chipping you cant we used adhesion promototers for plastic the grill has these deep holes cant get in there with sand paper i wouldn't do the front

 

^^^Whoa, there isn't one period in that whole sentence!

And this thread is from the year 2003. You just brought it back to the future. Or back to the past. Or forward to the future. Or forward past the past.

 

before you start 'representin' with your ugly blingin' car, perhaps you should try learn THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE, ace.

 

there is a product called plastic primer....
ask your dad to look up in his parts book

 

Sorry for the bump, but sometimes a thread will lose pictures and the way to bring them back is to add a new post with attachment. Cheers!

 

miata looks beast.
vents look good on black and silver theme. i wouldnt do it on VR tho, nice job

 

i think the tints are a little off... perhaps a smoke covering (clear coat with a tiny bit of black mixed in)


that said... yeah the in person v. photo .. u never know
