    Default 6strings 2006 hatch

    Got my hatch in summer 2009. I drove it stock for one year with no mods at all.

    2010 Mod list:
    Takeda SRI (might switch that..)
    17inch Mazda GT rims
    Tints
    Spoiler
    I also took off the door moldings, but noticed a crappy paint job done by the previous owner, to my sadness I put them back on because I cant afford to repaint just because I don't want door moldings lol.

    2011 Mod list:
    Vibrant Headers
    HSD Coil-overs
    RX-8 rims
    Different Intake...(maybe, might not even happen since I dumped too much on the car lol)

    The car is in good shape, my struts are going, so I might as well switch over to the low side.
    Tons of dents all over the car because, well.. in this world morons exist in parking lots who swing their doors wide open.

    My wagon!

    yeah, not a big fan of the fishing line there lol.
    I just cut the thin part of the antenna off. still get good radio and looks ok.. im starting to cheap out on such things cuz i threw so much at the car this summer.
    and i agree, it looked way better without the moldings. but i had bad luck with the paint job on it from the previous owner lol.

    Hey guys,
    I got my RX 8 rims. they have some curb rash on them.
    I want to get them powder coated. Any suggestions on colours for my titanium grey hatch?
    Silver is the original colour of the rims.
    Any input would be awesome!

    i was thinking a slightly darker shade of silver.
    gun metal and black are really on the extreme side but look awesome.

    So i went ahead and powdercoated the RX8 rims. (flat black)
    Waiting to get the drop so I can do a proper shoot with the car. But this side/back angle will do for now.
    Plastidipped emblems and taped the side markers.

    I'll put down all my mods here so people will know how cool I am!

    Are you use the previous owner had a paint job? Or could it be discoloration between the parts of the car that have been exposed vs the part under the molding? I know when I had my 2008.5, when I took the moldings off before the car was 1 year old, there was no paint difference but with my new speed3, there was a slight difference in colour...

    Either way, clean mods.

    I know exactly what you mean, but unfortunately I used to work in a body shop and I've seen people do that sort of thing when the managers want to rush cars out of the lot.
    They put the molding on without letting the clearcoat properly dry/bake. I asked a few shop around if they can blend it, but its a very risky job and outcome might not be as good. So they dont want to risk it.
    Got a quote for $700 for it. I dunno maybe i'll do it up when the rust hits my car in the next year or two.
