I also have the metro grey and love the color. I am finding it hard to choose a rim color to go with it. Could you tell me what color those are?

I'm really feeling this, especially the hood stripes because they are subtle. MGM was a very close second to TR when I narrowed it down to two cars. Gorgeous color in person.

Agreed on the hood stripes, they're usually a little too flashy for me on other colors. To tell you the truth TR was my first choice but the dealership had a MGM at the time, and the more I looked at it, the more appealing it became to me.

I wanted TR or black, but dealer only had metro gray or sunlight silver... and I honestly thought it looked really plain. Of course, the more I think about painting or buying wheels, more colors look good with silver or black. I am having difficulty find a color to paint the stockers that looks good with gray. Help?

I think every MGM owner has trouble deciding what color wheels to go with. Personally I like the gunmetal rims posted by Mpower.

No fancy backdrop...just a freshly waxed MGM. Nearly invisible to law enforcement (at least so far). Like previous posters -- wheel color has been something to ponder over. I also like souper's hood stripes because they are very subtle...

The stripes definitely add a nice touch. It was a pain to install but worth it IMO.

Tint looks good... i've been debating on getting it done but I wasn't sure how 35% would look on our car. Probably something i'll do in the spring. (cool)

I seen those pics, they look real good!

However..i'm a firm believer that dark wheels look AMAZING on our darker colors, and the stock to lighter color wheels look fantastic on the lighter colors. Just a slight observation.

If you could get the "millenium" finish on your stock MS3 wheels, your car would look hot in those pictures!!!

fostersafb

01-17-2009, 01:30 PM

My MGM MS3 isnt worthy enough to post any pictures in this thread yet........I do however want to get some oppinions on some ideas I have for her though.

What do you guys think about a CF hood on the MGM? I'm having some rock chip repair done and a complete CF hood works out to be about the same cost as the hood repair.

In general how do you think CF looks against the MGM paint? There are a few parts available in CF and apparently alot more on the way from Street Unit. I havent seen any MGM's with CF yet though.

fostersafb

01-17-2009, 05:46 PM

im not really a fan of CF but i think a CF hood will look good on MGM if it isnt too busy and ricer looking(with a bunch of vents and stuff.)

when i buy my after market wheels im going with Hyper Black wheels which i think is going to look amazing on MGM.

i dont think i have seen any MGM's with hyper black rims so i hope ill be the first.

I agree, the vents and what not are too much for the MS3. I was thinking about the Fiber Images OEM hood.

I've thought about the hyper black as well, hurry up and get them so we can see them! I also think the gloss black looks pretty good but I prefer somehting a little lighter in color, maybe a gunmetal or anthracite.

CHICO2003

02-15-2009, 01:07 AM

If I had gone new, this probably would've been the color that I'd get. Silver was my #1 choice by far... love how the exterior matches the wheels. While MGM's wheels don't contrast nearly as much as say... the black MS3... I still feel it would've been better served with some gunmetal wheels instead of the bright silver stockers. In fact, that's the 1st mod I would've done.. no question. Sort of curious why I haven't seen any... powder coating the stock wheels a darker shade would really do wonders for this car.

The gold color, like the STI and 350Z brembos would look good on MGM. I was thinking red though myself.

I have red calipers on my MGM and it looks good IMO. With stockers they are fairly low-key due to the limited spacing between the spokes. I will try to post some picts asap. I went with the red to accent the red details in the interior.

Yeah, post some up. I like the idea of red because of the red accents inside along with the red side and rear reflectors and tail lights.

These pics are a couple weeks old... had the car for a year and a couple months. Great color. Shows dirt like crazy, but it looks AMAZING in the sun.

Just finished detailing over a few weeks... Klasse AIO, Klasse High Gloss Sealant, P21S Concours Look 100% Carnuba... 1 coat of each.

Fully Bolted w/ Methanol on 103j FMIC beta map

Granted Dynapack's read high
I drove 45 minutes to the dyno, BAT's in the 150's, ambient temp was over 100.

Here are a few shots of mine. I gotta say thanks to all of the folks here and
from other sites for their thoughts, ideas and how-to's.

This shot is the day I bought it
http://www.jamiesplanet.com/ms3/images/IMG_6420.jpg

Here it is now...

Grill stripe and color matched eyelids.
http://www.jamiesplanet.com/ms3/images/IMG_6585.jpg

G2 caliper paint and some MAZDASPEED decals.
http://www.jamiesplanet.com/ms3/images/IMG_6583.jpg

http://www.jamiesplanet.com/ms3/images/IMG_6587.jpg

COBB TIP and SRI. This was a great addition to the car.
Acceleration is so much smoother. It's way loud though, you can really hear the turbo spool up.
Sorta rice if you ask me but I suspect I'll get used to it.
http://www.jamiesplanet.com/ms3/images/IMG_6589.jpg

Hand made short throw shifter plate. Reduced the throw by 35 - 40%.
I also made a new weight to replace the factory shifter weight. This is the way the car should have shifted from the factory. It's really nice now.
It was like driving a slot machine before.
http://www.jamiesplanet.com/ms3/images/IMG_6574.jpg

Soon I'm gonna color match the badges, remove the pin stripes and add a BPV.
