Blacked out emblem looks good amd I like that shift knob with your paint color.

Finally got my rear lights done the way I wanted, and I wrapped my new 18s in their very own set of Goodyear Eagle GT 225/40R18, and we end up with this!

Can't see the pics (work), but you are way ahead of schedule.

May as well get those calipers painted if you haven't.

I like the look although I think it would look better if the car sat a little lower.

Agreed. But now I know precisely the amount I want to drop. I wasn't going to try until these larger tires were under the car.

I like it a lot, but is it just me or does anyone else think if one emblem is going to be black then they all should? Just my $.02

I had painted all my rear, but the mazda3 part didn't turn out for me, so I'm putting off that pain in the butt for another day. Since that experience, I'm definitely planning to debadge mine. But yep, all black will look great when AA has time to finish it. he's doing a great job with keeping to how he wants it.
