yellow accents on a blue P5

I was thiking about changing the rocker panels and mirrors on my blue P5 to the vivid yellow.

Is this a good idea or would it be too rice

Can you buy these items already painted or would I have to remove the existing and have them painted

How much of a pain in the *** is it to remove the mirrors.

Any thoughts or input is appreciated

I've seen too many Imprezas with yellow mudflaps, and "999" stickers on the side to tell you to do that to a Protege.

If you do decide to go yellow though, just make sure to get gold rims, and a big yellow "Mazda" sticker on the hood to make it look like you're sponsored. Maybe we could stick "323" on the side, and...

LOL!

See if someone on hear can photochop it for ya. You might like it but you might not, if you got a decent pic of your ride there are a few people on here that might be willing to do it for you. It'll give you an idea before you shell out the $$$.

also make sure u have it all changed to a rally car spec.... so you aren't just cooking RICE
maybe mazda might send the P5 into the WRC if u send them pics after your mod.

and on top of everything else....why in the world would you buy new ones and change them out? why not just paint the pieces you have? makes a lot more sence.

HOWEVER....as mentioned before....unless you intend to turn your car into and more importantly perform like a Rally Car....don't do it...it would NOT compliment your car at all.

now now Nick...I was NOT talking about you at all....you have jumped to an incorrect conclusion....

I was refering to ALL the aluminum wings that are already out there......not one that was just being THOUGHT about! :{D
