Is it yellow or orange? I can't tell. Did you do the painting yourself or did you take it to a shop?

.....it does turn heads.....people try me all the time (racing wise)

...everytime i'm driving into a gas station people look and usually come over to me and ask me what i have done to it....

i don't know i think it really ended up costing me like 850...i haven't paid yet....

it was done @ a shop ...it took 3 days....as you can see in the pics my dad owns a business so i got the paint the same way i got the rims..half trade half cash......business to business....



I'm not looking to blend in with anybody on the street anyway.....i live in florida.....thats how i do it......loud exhaust--loud rims-loud paint job--loud stereo--fast car....(in the works)

You gotta do something about the grill. I don't like how it looks especially with the Mazda logo painted the same color as the car.

Otherwise, not bad. What's next?

Now I know I'm leaving the tops of my doors black when I paint mine.

It does look a lot better without the black trim though.

IMO it looks different. I like stuff that is otu of the ordinary. Exhaust looks funky, but hey wth, u gotta deal with the noise not me. But looks very clean with out the side moldings. Keep it upand post pics later
