shipped quickly and arrived as expected, think it was $180 w/tax+shipping.

Looks good, gotta go out and buy a drill bit to make the mounting hole. Came with instructions and hardware.

The instructions say to remove the vinyl before install, but damned if i can find any vinyl on em.

Brentis

If I were you I'd remove the gold metalic stickers. They come off easily.

You shouldv'e/wouldv'e/could've gotten them from Mazdaformance for $140+ shipping & no tax (they're inTX). I've been hearing how Malloy Mazda might sell parts like this cheap too....

BTW, congrats U don't HAVE to use a drill. I just used diff sized nails to puncture the metal and progressively largen the hole

Vintage Red Touring

If I remember correctly, the vinyl is covering the gold RX-7 inlays.


I agree with Brentis, take the gold RX-7 out. I removed the gold letters and painted the recessed area red to match my car, and I think it looks great.

DaedelGT

I bet that adds a ton of style. Anyone have a picture of them installed?

dubulup

Doesn't someone make cf ones? I think those look tight if you have if interior (which I don't)...btw who does cf interior? (HI-JACKED, lol)

Brentis

black paint is zerobanger's best friend.

ZeroBanger

You betcha, Intercooler, manifold, intake, scuff plates, body paint, interior.....all Black..

Should I change my gunmetal wheels to black?

r0t0r-rooter

I think Batman has everything black too so he could speed on the freeway with his lights off (wearing nightvision goggles)
Weird...

ZeroBanger

parts of his interior are still tan, looks a bit odd to me.

TwinTurbo93

They're hot... I like'em, thinking of getting them to soon.

DaedelGT

His car is so black though. It looks amazing.

dubulup

ZeroBanger- where can I see pics of your car (without searching thru a bizillion threads)

JimmyJimboJet

i never thought about painting the 'rx-7' to match the car.... i just don't know how that would look on a VR.

the mazdaformance ones advertise a "satin finish" and they looked just all black, here's their pic

Just the lighting - they are a brush natural aluminum finish, as all factory option scuff plates are.

ahh i see dclin...well the pettit ones add more hp tho

overkill

I've had mine for a few years now, but I didn't want to drill holes so I used 3m double stick tape and it worked perfectly. for the screw holes, I used phillips head klath tek screws but cut off the shank, and siliconed the heads over the scuff plate holes. It looks perfect, and I didnt have to drill into the fd body......

Rx7pimpin

look good!

Polish them while you're at it too. I polished mine and they're bling bling now

sub-zero

I have some that can be painted, like I did to match the interior. I have chrome ones now to match the new stuff. If anyone is interested PM Me and they are Yours for 75.00

They can not be polished only painted or powder coated becasue I lightly bead blasted them to hold the paint.
