Well its new to me, but actually I believe it's older than I am! Finally got it put in today after battling with the paint all day yesterday and all day today, it kept wanting to orange peel on me & I prepped it extra super good. The wheel has never been installed in anything, but was taken out of the box and never used, sat in my uncle's shop for as long as I can remember. She had a little bit of surface rust & dust and filthy dirt on the rubber, but a little bit of leather restorer and paint did her well!!! Let me know what you think!

Like the factory Mazda emblem on it??? (I know it's a little crooked but, I'm gonna take it off and straiten it in a day or two as soon as I know the paint has cured!)

yeah, it's got a couple bad spots in it that the camera doesn't pick up, but i got tired of spraying it, lol. I think it has about 8 to 10 coats on it, lol.

looks good man. I've gotta get new pics of my interior. I cleaned it up good, the wheel's been painted, and put my pedal covers on to match.

At first I was like "What?!?! Where'd that horn button come from?" lol, then realized it was a stick on. I've gotta find me a new Grant horn button, I don't know what I did with mine. I'll probably copy your idea with some kind of Mazda symbol or something.

Yeah it's really easy to get the Mazda symbol off the original wheel, cause when you pull the wheel you have to remove it to get to the nut anyways, just make sure when you pull it out of the plastic to take the metal backing and all otherwise it will peel & I didn't even have to put any adhesive on it because the original adhesive was still sticky enough to get a firm hold.

Thanks for all the comments guys, I don't have money to do much to the dawg right now, but I'm glad to hear good comments on the little things I can do right now, & watch out for my next update...Chrome mirrors! Should be here in about a week or 2!
