Jdubs99 Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Is the chrome wheel well trim on my car from the factory or added by the hilljacks that owned the car before me? I didn't see any 01-02 cars with it, and I assumed I would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Nah, you're safe - my Milly (800) has them too and the only thing I've found on it that is non-standard is an old mobile phone car kit. Maybe it was a very rare optional extra ???? G. my cardomain: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2681170 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mts Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 I think it was a dealer installed option, but many are hijacked in the hood too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdubs99 Posted October 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 What's the liklihood that the dealship kid just drove down to pepboys and slapped it on? Do these have a Mazda part #? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

///BHRpowered Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 what? do you have exact pics? all I see are the ghetto chrome trim ring around the wheel well, which certainly wasn't an option, I even have the brochures and options list from every year, plus I don't remember seeing it on jdubs car. I keep thinking you guys mean the entire wheel well, like the splash shield and everything is chrome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

///BHRpowered Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 damn it, what chrome wheel wells are people talking about. I don't see anything on cardomani except your chrome trim around them, which is certainly not stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 yep - that's the chrome trim. It's stuck onto the body work on the face of the panel. There's another 4 or 5 Eunos 800's both 2.5 and 2.3MCE versions on Cardomain - none of them have the chrome wheel arch trim. looks like it may well be aftermarket.

///BHRpowered Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 trust me, its aftermarket. I have the sales and options brochures from every year, and to date, I have only encountered one 5 truely "fully loaded" millenia's besides mine, none have it. Oh how I want that 02 S in silver, and the 95 S to be able to test repairs and things before screwing it up and then drive it to the 300k mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

///BHRpowered Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 I'm going to have to disagree, the mobil1 logo was put on by my dealer at the very first oil change The only sticker I ever added to the engine bay was an HID high voltage warning, but figured besides me there are only 2 people who touch the car, and both of them know it quite well and can figure out hid's.

Jdubs99 Posted October 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Here's what I'm talking about, look at the fenders. Current pics of the car, dirty as hell, driver side view with spoiler installed. And now without the fender trim, spoiler installed. The trim had to be a mazda part number. The ends of the chrome trim are cut absolutely clean, and the inside of the parts are trimmed in rubber, unlike the ghetto Autozone variety. This means that scratching was taken into account. The ends are also angled to match exactly the angles at which they end. The jury is out as far I'm concerned with removal or reapplying.

Frankzao Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 If the dealer added it is is not stock any more. Dealers add A/C to cars and it was not stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 jdubs, that is in no way stock, the spoiler looks good though, damn dew. anyway it doesn't matter they cut clean, there were cuts on ebay that fit perfectly for awhile. and zao, this isn't the 70's or 80's, infact in the last 10 years, there really aren't many "dealer installed" options Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankzao Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 you remember that far back, eh? So the Mobil 1 is a sticker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 my concept of time is very different then yours, to me what may have happened decades even centuries ago seems like last week. and yes, I told them the car would be services there as long as they didn't cross me, at the first oil change which was like only 2000 miles they removed whatever warning thing was there and put the mobil1 sticker on incase I did go anywhere eles.
