I'm flattered. I would still have them, but some of the curbs here are really high, and I broke 2 on the passenger's side, parallel parking, and didn't feel like making another.

I think you should make some more... makes the car look all futuristic and stuff

id be interested in buying some,

not feeling it, are you trying to recreate a Cadillac or something

My brother had that car; 496ci!
I made mine in an obsession with gas mileage, and grew to like the way the looked. I think they go well with the lines of the car, and I averaged 35mph hwy, getting up to 36mpg with the OEM tranny, and 2.5L engine.
nlsolja, I wish I had time to make a set for you, or even me. The MazdaSpeed sideskirts were a big part of the project, since they made it possible to clear the wheels. I made a template out of carboard, and got some plastic from a specialty place, wrapping the plastic underneath a couple inches, bending them with a hair dryer. This made it bow out a little in the middle of the span, for more room. I will make another set when I get a chance.
I couldn't believe I never got a negative comment about them... at the drags, meets, wherever. However, i did get alot of positive ones

Those wheel covers are for hybrids such as the Prius and EV1

You're correct. They made them for the same reason I did, and many other people who enjoy saving gas money.

If you wanna save gas money get one of these! And for the love of design don't add on well covers.

It gets 110mpg and is a hybrid!

Speaking of design; The MX-3 was designed with rear wheel covers! So, for the love of design; Go for it.

prove it

It was one of the original sketches like this one: http://www.mx-3.com/history/concept-01.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; but I can't find it. Maybe Mooneggs, or one of the oldschoolers has a copy. As of now, I can't prove it

I wish they went with the vents on the hood and how low the car is to the ground
