I was wondering who's wheel is this, and if you got more pics of it. I'd like to see what the paint all the way around looks like before I paint mine.

And while I'm at it. I'll ask the group, should I paint all the way around the inner side of the wheel like this? or just the caliper

My car is blue, and the paint will be yellow G2 paint.

Your car sure is coming along. I noticed you guys have no snow.....I'm jealous. We still got snow banks everywhere. Getting better this weeks though.

As for your pics of the cal's, I'm either blind or dumb, as I can't see them anywhere. New pics 1,2, april pics, old cars...et etc....notta.

Hey Newf, those are mine. I think the painted rotors look very nice. When the car is going down the road, the yellow REALLY shows up. It's like all you can see is a yellow circle in the middle of the wheels, and it really draws attention. I'll have to take some more pictures for you, but for now I don't have very many. I have one other picture from a distance on my web site.
It's at home.hawaii.rr.com/sswim (http://home.hawaii.rr.com/sswim)

yeah, I'd be interested in seeing some pics of those cali's.

Cool site btw.

But, your selling the car! :(

Oh, what percentage tint is that?

I really do love this car. It's one of those situations where I am putting it up for sale, but deep down inside I'm hoping that no one will buy it. But I just bought a Corvette and I don't really have any room for the MP3. I'm also very dissapointed that Mazda will be making these again next year. It may be called something else, but it's still the same car. One of the main reasons I bought the MP3 was because I thought I would have something that not too many other people would have.
Newf, I can't remember what percentage tint that is. Does 35% sound right? It was the darkest tint I could get but still be legal in Hawaii. I'll take some more pics of the calipers and rotors tomorrow.

Oh, I understand completely :)

Heck, if I had a z06, a 73' vette, a van, a bike, and live in Hawai......yup, I'd get rid of the mp3 too!


I don't think I've ever been so jealous. Me and the woman's dream is to take a trip to hawai. Too bad I couldn't take the car though.

Maybe you should get a bumper sticker for the mp3 that say, my other car is a vette......or better yet, my other car is a mp3!

just kidding buddie. If you get those pics, that'd be great.

P.S. Any jobs down there for I.T people? I gotta get hooked up with whatever job you got man.
