Have to do some mods to my house first. Then get a second bigger vehicle (CX-9 or Pilot). Then I get to trade in the old WB for something nice.

thumbs up to 5speed, but when i see that color it reminds me of the 70 year old women who used to live next door to me and she drove a cavalier that colour, it jsut seems like an older person colour, but if you like the colour go for it, not for me though.

The pics that have been posted do not do this colour justice.
All the pics I have seen look Geriatric, but this in person is such a nice colour...
And to that some classy mods as Joe is know for and this car is going to look incredible.

ya any colour can look good modded, but as a stock colour its not my first choice, but like i said if HE likes it then go for it. i would never pick a car colour because someone else liked it. i bought what i liked, since i drive it and no one else, and he did the same. As long as flippy likes it then all the power to him for the new car.

Yeah we had to heat up the top of the coil so that the strut bearing wouldn't move around too much. For some reason the Apex coils are a bit wider at the top compared to Eibach and Tein.

Thanks for the comments guys. Just installed the flat black Injen CAI and upgraded the stock HID's to 6000K. Now I'm debating on wether or not to remove the moldings.
Also what do you guys think about rim choice?
1. Black
2. Gold
3. Bronze
Your input will be greatly appreciated.

Definitely remove the moldings, makes it look so much sleeker. Bronze rims is a bit iffy as you'll definitely need to find the right one, black would be universal and would always look good.

They come in a lot of different sizes.
The only one that will fit your cars will be 17x7.5 +48 offset. 15lbs each
Yellow on gold ain't workin for me. The rims are a little off. Worked well for SFW not so much for you sir. I also think RX8s would conform, break loose the mold. Try some Mazda6 or new RX8 rims if you wanna go with Mazda rims. But pearly picked out a wicked set there.
FLIPDADY
11-23-2008, 02:49 PM
People stop calling the rims gold! They are curry color!:chuckle
I didn't choose the rims Ami was kind enough to lend them to me for winter since I didn't have any for my 17" Pirelli snows. I have 3 sets of summer rims that I have to decide to keep or chop. One set of 18" Mazdaspeed accessory rims and a couple of 18" black rims.
