Haha, I will, I will. :P I'm going to take a day and repaint the rims and probably the calipers too. Might as well while I'm down there. :P

This is going to sound like an odd question... but what does the stock cat look like? I was cleaning the car today and crawled under it and my cat looks HUGE and white. I don't recall ever seeing one look like that... at least not stock. haha Is it stock or was someone playing with it before I bought it?

I'd say save the money on repainting the rims and put it towards some nice light aftermarket wheels and tires. You can probably sell the rims to a Mazda 6 or Mazda 3 owner to help pay for them as well.

BTW, this guy had a Velocity Red with rims painted similarly, and he's from Texas:

looks like he sold it to this guy:

a couple of years ago, so you're the 3rd owner (assuming it's the same car)
Not the same car. Unless he replaced the entire front bumper and did a trunk swap. Also the side aero flare.

I noticed a lot of things like that as well. My suspension's stock as well, and he had a lot of suspension work done. Maybe someone saw the rims and liked the idea? Or perhaps, came up with it himself....either way, I'm sure it's not the same car. Good eye though guys.

maybe just the same rims.... that would be too much of a coincidence to have the rims the same way. whoever bought mighty red's 8 could have easily sold the rims off when he bought it.
