TheMAN, if you're reading this.. what exactly is the diff. between the tail lights on the mazdaspeed Protege (blue one) and the ones we've got here in America?
With the tail light assembly off it looks as if our tail lights here in the USDM list many types of bulbs that would be used in different markets as well as the ones used here..
Is it similar to how JDM civic tail lights have fewer reflectors than the USDM counterparts?

When you see wheels that are gold, bronze, and grey or charcoal , they are typically anodized. Anodizing is a process that uses a chemicals and electricity to change the surface of the aluminum alloy. Powdercoating applies a coating to surface of the metal and is typically used on wheels for white, black and other bright colors.

Anodized:
Powdercoated:
You know, the more I look into this, the more I think a lot of current wheels are painted. I'm not sure where to find the specific information, put it appears that even silver-colored alloys are frequently painted. And I'm thinking that not all white wheels are powdercoated but merely painted with wheel paint(powdercoating will last forever unless it takes a nasty impact directly to it, paint can come off over time.) So, I guess what I'm saying is, you probably have some options.
