Here you go!

First one is mine when I first painted them (rear tire with winter rims)


One of my 8 with dirty calipers


Here is another forum member's car ... WHealy (I don't think he comes around anymore)


Last but not least ... last year's Tokyo Autoshow concept MS8 ... with painted hubs AND big brakes


Hope that helps

I was reading this thread this morning:

https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-exterior-appearance-body-kits-27/interest-rx-8-mazdaspeed-prototype-front-bumper-101385/

it contained a link to here:

http://www.body-kit.com/maz06rx8cspec.html

I believe if you e-mail them they will give you a quote. If you happen to find any info from them, please post it up. I am curious, but not serious about buying it yet so I don't want to go through anything with them.

Oh yeah, and good choice with the wb

^^^ I think when WHealy (the guy with the painted caps) did it ... he was REALLY careful with a fine paint brush when he painted them. I don't know if I'm making this up, but I seem to remember him saying that he popped out the center cap first and painted it on a work bench.

danlewisnet --> why don't you paint both the hubs and calipers. I think it turned out quite nice on the MS concept, and that's probably going to be my next project.

Great minds think alike! That's exactly what I was planning on doing: https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-wheels-tires-brakes-suspension-55/stock-white-rims-w-blue-photoshop-109161/

What do you use for fender vents with those fenders? Are they fiberglass?
