Nice black cars! Nice rims too.

Lower the car and it will look even better.

o ok srry they just looked pchopped in those pix. they look really good though! bronze rims on a black car is pure hotness. i dunno if u did do this since i cant see in the pix but have u thought about painting ur orange turn signals on the taillights red? imo it look pretty good on the black mx-3's. keep up the direction u have been going it looks really nice!

The rear lights are all red. One of the first things I did to the car
The rims are actually OEM 94-96 Escort GT rims without the center caps and painted bronze. I used to own an Escort and had the same rims on it but in Gunmetal. I parted that car out motor and all. I put thse on my MX-3 and they looked nice in gunmetal but i liked bronze more. So I painted thema nd swapped the brand new wicked tires from my SE rims to these

Theres not many mods done to the car:
red tail lights
94 GS wing (not in pics)
b&M short through shifter w/ srd bushings
Sparco grip pedals
HEI and MSD External Coil
CAI
Some cheap exhaust taht actually sounds decent
Hawk HPS brake pads
Kenwood head unit and pioneer 4channel amp powering infinity speakers. Sounds really nice
oh ya nd teh headlights are super clear with Luminics JDM yellow bulbs in them

Parts I have waiting for my KLZE
Fidanza Flywheel
ACT Street/Strip Clutch
Unorthadox Racing Underdrive pulley
Magnaflow cat
Magnaflow Muffler
Vibrant stainess resonator
Royal purple motor and gear oils and OEM mazda filter

I know how to mod cars cleanly. I hate rice. My next addition is going to be a Mazdaspeed front bumper and a set of 16inch Rota Sub zero's and H&R springs with escort ZX2 S/R struts and srd control arm bushings and front and rear strut tower bars. I also need new endlinks because mine are shot and all I hera is a clunk when I hit a bump

Here are my full royal sports bronze rims. I agree with you that bronze is really nice.

I like orange.

Yes, lowered with red Konis and H&R springs. I like it. Too much is just ugly. Also, that pic is just after removing the jack, so it will settle a little bit more afterwards.
