    Default When Black isn't Black Enough

    >> 2010 Mazdaspeed3 HEADLIGHT BAKE & PAINT!!! **Photos & Video!** - Mazda Forums

    Hi to you Emo's out there. Apologies if this has been posted before, but it's always interesting to see how far people will go to make things a little different.

    Some samples of what's on this thread. Doesn't look too hard and wouldn't suit my VR, but if black is your thing, this is the mod for you...

    Sometimes a bit of contrast goes a long way, but yeah you're right, each to their own. I can appreciate it looking pretty cool nevertheless and trying something different. The only mods I've done on my ride which I had never seen done before is the rims, intake and gauge install. The rest is pretty much copycat ideas implemented to suit

    With great power comes great fuel consumption...

    Looks great though, but he could've bought an MPS 6 which already has black light surrounds, my new car has them too
    R36 - Just like an MPS6 except with a growly V6

    true Chris but when these guys buy something inferior they need to put in the effort to make it look classy

    I think the back looks good, because it makes the tail lights look smaller and looks like they dont stick out so far (as ive mentioned thats the main issue i have with the gen2)
