Always nice to see a VR car that doesn't look like it's got 3 different maaco paintjobs on different panels (like my slow going barn find ) !
Mine needs a paint job - ticks me off every time I clean it and see up close how bad the paint is, but from 10 feet away, it looks great when I wax it.

I like your stock size RB brake upgrade. Those rotors are unidirectional, as per RB. Looks like you need to flip the rings on the drivers side. Curves should bend backwards.
Thank you Narfle for the heads-up, I really appreciate it! I will get the rotors corrected (barely driven the car since install) - the vehicle is getting corner balanced this week and new Mazda front fender liners installed. The RB brakes work really well...I purchased them because I wanted the lightest possible brake set-up...I don't plan on tracking the car but wanted better braking...if any of that made sense.
Hey guys...spoke with RacingBrake directly - rotors were installed correctly. So the slots on the rotors do point that way for our cars (not the way mentioned in the diagram above). Cheers

Good deal, thanks for clearing that up. Car looks great.
$10,200.00 plus 13% tax - grand total was $11,500.00 taxes in for the paint job...that included paying a specialist to remove the front & rear glass (and re-install), having the front fenders and rear quarters rolled by hand and removing two layers of crappy tint on side windows and rear hatch window. On top of that I paid Mazda parts department approximately $1,500 for new door handles ($600), new side spoilers ($600), new front R1 spoiler ($200), new rear bumper black plastic ($150) and windshield wiper arms ($140). Additional costs were $1,000.00 to purchase all new Mazda trim & screws/bolts. A couple of the trim parts from Mazda were garbage quality which I had to return multiple times...quality control at Mazda is not that great. I brought my car to a shop that charged insurance rates - not sure that made a difference. I could be missing a few things that I paid for...keep in mind everyone I live in Canada so the costs could be different in the United States. Hope this helped.
