Over the Top?
I put my painted center caps (thanks to others for thinking of this) :D on my newly chromed stock wheels. I'd like your opinions - Is this to much?
Also, I am interested in getting a spoiler, but I am not crazy for the stock U.S. version, and the MazdaSpeed is too expensive (IMHO). Anything else our there worth looking at, or on the way? I like the european version but, again, to much $$$.
Thanks.

Jeff that looks totally hot, the only thing I would change in that picture are the yellow/orange marker lights, go spend the money on the clear ones it will look so much better.

no way, it looks very tasteful. Now if the centers were blinking neon lights and the chrome wheels were spinners........that is a different story.
btw, what type of paint did you use?

Thanks all, I put the clear corners on this morning, and you are right, it looks much better, Matches with the black and chrome. I used MAZDA black touch-up paint, and it took about 10 minutes per cap. It was actually alot easier than I thought.

Chrome wheel spinners . . . Hmmmmm (just kidding!)

Hi binnung:
It cost $640.00 on a wheel exchange to get the stock wheels chromed. There is a wheel shop in North Hollywood that did it for me. I Just drove up there and they changed them out, with balance and mount, in about an hour. I see you live in Hawthorne. PM me or e-mail me at jeff1jett@msn.com if you want the address
Later.
