hey everyone. i'm new to the forum and so far i love it. i have a Lapis Blue 05 Mazda 6s. i've had it since November and i can't wait till the snow and ice are gone so i can wash it and show it off. i haven't done anything extra to it yet but i want to tint the windows 35%, get the blacked out headlights and tailights, and get some nice rims on it.

so i am wondering if any of you have suggestions about color of the rims (other than chrome) that goes great with the blue paint, black tint, and black head/taillights?? and then if i should do anything about the color of the calipers?

Well, first of all I would strongly suggest you not tint your lights... front or rear. You would only be asking for trouble, from the law and from other drivers that can't see you, or you them. I want to be seen when I'm driving and do not want to give the law any reason to pull me over or charge me w/an accident because of tinted (illegal) lights.
Besides, it's so 8 yrs ago, y'know?

As far as wheel color w/lapis blue is concerned, your choices are endless. Many colors would go well w/it, but may not be available in the style of wheel you choose. So deciding that would be your first priority, imo.
It's also largely a matter of personal taste.

i don't mean having those kind of lights...i mean the ones with the black inside and not chrome. trust me..i would also like to see the road at night. btw..would you know where i could get some like that? i've looked on ebay..but i can't find the front set. and i don't know if the rear ones were any good.

but thanks for the advice.
