Looks good. Is that fairly representative of how the clear bra looks (i.e. barely noticable)?

man, I wanted those CF door bezels and the strip that goes across the dash, but when I went to the dealer, they costs over $150 for all three pieces!!!

For that price I\'d prefer to get the two-toned steering wheel.

Yeah, thats how the Llumar clear bra looks like. I\'ve had it since day #2 of owning my car so its been over a year and half now. I just wash the bra part and don\'t bother waxing it. Its hardly noticable, although on a white car likr yours, it might show up more.

HAHAHAHA....SHHHHHHHHH...
I got the CF dash trim from www.onlinemazdaparts.com (JMBaggie on M3F) and the JDM Axela sills were from Ebay. I had both of them shipped to Majoogle Sr.\'s house and he smuggled them into Canada when he took his Mazda3 S sedan over. Thanks again to Majoogle and Majoogle\'s dad for the plug!

Thanks for all the compliments boys & girls! :D

Yeah they are. I bought them on Ebay from a JDM seller since he had gray and beige for a discount price. They were less than half the price of the regular black ones. The Axela sills are an authentic JDM Madza part (came with instructions in Japanese but its pretty much plug N play) so after a few coats of Krylon Fusion (SATIN black) they match up pretty well with the stock plastic. Thanks to Arthur (Bluntman) for the recommending Krylon Fusion since its a plastic spray paint where you don\'t need to prep or prime.

Glad to see the Krylon spray paint worked out for you! I just wished you had posted a photo of your colour keyed fuel door. Looks great by the way.

RIMS!

And the door sills kick ass. The accented CF panels on the interior add a nice touch. Great work Rob.
