Nice, you spent some $ but you forget to lower your car!

A bit over the top for me, but you certainly have put a lot of work into it.

I hate stickers.

lol..

mines not lowered......but i have the MS kit....which if i lower ......i think there goes my friggin bumper..

what do you think R888...?

your in T.O too...

roads are CRAP!

Everything is great...as long as you like it...but theres one thing you could fix...the fender strake is a lil' crooked =D...i hate it when that happens to me loll

Looks good man.

turbooo rocks:) looks sweet:)

paint the strakes black and straighten them up..

not my cup of tea. but to each his own..

The mazda vinyl is way too big on the windshield.

you gonna do a body kit or lip?

im not gonna tell you what i think - im just gonna assume we have a very different sense of taste

-hS

you should get the OEM lip kit, but in black...

:)

well i like the turbo...ahaha

dont try so hard man, keep it clean

straighten up the strakes get rid of the stickers & stripe and it will look good .

im not gonna tell you what i think - im just gonna assume we have a very different sense of taste

-hS

i agree with you on this one, i just have a different taste as you but looks like you put a hell of a lot of work on this.

I like it. Wish I had the time and the money. Might skip the a few of the exterior things, but what the hell.

I like it! How are the rear lights? Can you see clearly out from those tints?

I say get a CAI (one without a foam intake), replace all the greddy hoses with better ones, fix the top strakes so that they're level with the ground (the mazda instructions are incorrect, which is why dealers sometimes have the strakes installed this way), get rid of the mazda logo on the front windshield, and get rid of the stickers unless you're actually sponsored.

Am i tripping or are your strakes not even?!

check out my garage to read the list of mods...
why check out your garage when you have a 'thief's menu' with all the stickers? not my taste but everyone is right - you have put in a lot of work and to each their own. it certainly is different so that's always a plus.

well here it comes:
strakes are crooked
mazda logo is about 2x too big
your car doesnt look lowered
you need some type of body kit factory or aftermarket
loose the black stripe, it doesnt go all the way
your exhausts shrouds are different color then your rear underbumper

nice turbo
nice black badging
Sweet sound system
nice black grills (by the strakes)
nice lack tailights

you gonna do a body kit or lip?
im prolly gonna go with the mazdaspeed body kit

I like it! How are the rear lights? Can you see clearly out from those tints?
i think so, havnt gotten pulled over for them yet.......

the stripe isnt made to "go all the way"
i know about the strakes they need to be tightened
if i lower it i wont be able to pull in my drive way
im painting the whole back bumper and exaust shrouds back to black
and i like the oversize mazda decal :rock:

im prolly gonna go with the mazdaspeed body kit

good choice

im painting the whole back bumper and exaust shrouds back to black


No need in doing that if you are getting the MS bodykit.

At least your trunk looks nice. Engine bay is filthy, and not a big fan of all the stickers and crooked strakes.

nice turbo . as for the stickers im not feeling it ( but then again i dotn like stickersers on cars) btw are you going to drop it? but besides that looks nice

kar looks terrible with the stickers - Removing every sticker would make the kar 100% better-looking.

you're missing an undertray. be careful with that.

I'm too late...

IMHO, if you have to have stickers and blacked out tail light (which will get you pulled over btw), at least lower the car. Really. Stock height and stickers don't go together. But then I like stealth, so I don't like stickers.

I'm not a huge fan of the stickers (unless someone is paying you to have them there), but then again I'm not really into getting the validation of others regarding my car. I'm never going to post pictures and ask what anyone thinks, because, no offense to anyone here, but I don't care what anyone else thinks. That being said though, it looks like you've put a lot of work into it and if it matters, I honestly like the wheels being painted black. My 8 is black and I think that black on black combo might look good (at least until I figure out what kind of after-market wheels I want, it might give it a "one-off" look while I'm deciding). Anyway, did you do that yourself or do you at least know what went into it?( type of paint, etc.)

im painting the whole back bumper and exaust shrouds back to blackyeah thats a great idea because its clear you havent gone far enough with the black/red color combo. I suggest ordering the mazdaspeed kit in black.

I actually have a simpler idea...

You may want to try putting down ur ebrake and just pushing the car back about 10 feet. I think thats your best way to save this disaster.

Where in Wisconsin are you from? Haven't seen many modified 8's. Actually for that matter not that many 8's in general.

Personally you went a little over the top as I perfer more of a serious sports/factory look. To each their own.

umm, didn't notice that. I'm in Appleton area, maybe would should have a Wisconsin meet some time.

bit overdone for me. r you the one that painted the hood with a rattle can? and r those just painted factory rims? no no. that junk's gonna chip off and mess with the brakes, i would bet. and it looks terrible, imo, no offense.

looks great under the hood and trunk though.

You got PM!

Check the Road America Thread in the MW forum. We have a few cars going to the track at Elkhart Lake :rock:

I think black on VR takes away from the amazing paint. I've never been a fan of smoked lights, but I must say I've never seen an 8 that looks like yours.

im from beaver dam (dodge county)

it's more like blacked out lights. i'm not a big fan of black out.

Can somone photshop all the black stickers and the other black accents so I can see what my stockers will look like in black on a VR?

what is up with everyone and wanting a "clean looking 8" or a "factory looking 8"?!?!
FRIENDS DONT LET FRIENDS DRIVE STOCK!!!!
and if ur car isnt stock under the hood then lets let everyone know that ur modding it by adding to the outside.

You're right... you should add a big Fig Newton sticker across the windshield.

Why? Is thirty old? I was modding cars when you were in diapers. Good looks last a lifetime. If stock looks better, leave it stock. Modding just to mod is dumb. Age has nothing to do with it. I'm not a huge fan of flashy kits but subtle lips and clean lines are the new hotness. A lot of potential but I think you missed the point.

im 18 years old, in my second semester of my senior year (class of 2007) and my car is fully paid for along with all the mods and last but not least....this is my first car!! isnt that something? and b4 anyone says anything im not a drug dealer, and no my parents didnt buy it for me...not a single cent. think about that next time you send in your car payment....for the next 10 years.

thats the thing stock doesnt look better. make it your own, y have it like everyone else? nothing shows your care about your car more than putting tons of time and money into it. im not modding just to mod either im modding because i want it to look how i want it to look and about a month after i got my 8 (first one in town) three other ppl got one or moved here w/ one. so naturally mine has to be the best as far as looks and performance.

umm, didn't notice that. I'm in Appleton area, maybe would should have a Wisconsin meet some time.

I'd be all for a Wisconsin meet. Check out the MW region board, we should start something in there.

For starters I've started a WI members list

honestly i think it looks like crap with the stickers and the crooked strakes. also the "mazda" banner looks ridiculous as does the stripe. dont get all indignant when people give their opinions when you ask for them.

im not CRYING if you wanna hear CRYING ill come over there and slap your mom. i asked wat ppl think, not for sarcasm and nasty shit like that. if u dnt like it say so its less to type and it is just stupid to talk shit, especially wen your sitting on your computer where your no where near the person your pissing off.

what the hell? thats not very nice.

im not usually harsh but you got kinda whiny in the last page

what the hell? thats not very nice.

exactly. apparently you didnt read the previous posts
i know i went and edited what i said a few seconds afterwards. but seriously dont get mad at people when they give you an opinion

Pleasant constructive criticism is something you won't find here or on any forum. Nice, docile comments = boring reading and dead threads.
If you like your car, and it fits in with your local crowd - enjoy. And honestly, thats all you have to say. Look at some of the international forums - different strokes for diff folks.

ARC, before the mods clean the last 1.5pages up, let me give you a little friendly advice. I know you're very proud of your car, and it suites your taste, however that taste happens to be different from the majority of the people on this board. Now when you ask everyone for their honest opinion of your car, thats what we are going to give you...an honest opinion. Some poeple may be a bit harsh about it, but that is more personality than them trying to start something. I guess my point is that if you are asking for opinions, you need to be able to take the criticism that may come with it.

As far as all this argueing, please cut it out. Moos out.

since you asked...

I think it looks terrible. Too much going on, the black stripe has to go and the badges on the trunk are overkill. What's with the stickers on the side? Are you sponsored? You have a K&N sticker there so does that mean you run a K&N oil filter or is the vinyl just for show? Unless someone is giving you free parts or paying to run the stickers its just rice.

disclaimer: the above statements are my opinion, they do not necessarily reflect the opinion of rx8club. I usually never reply to these types of posts unless the OP specifically asks for opinions.

Wow little man, looks like you're tryin' too hard to impress the 16 year old girls. Honestly I would've taken all the money you spent on your car so far and used it to buy a bad ass set of wheels.
The stripe along the car doesn't flow with the lines of the car.
Yeah, you noticed the strakes are crooked.
Mazda logo, too freakin' huge.
Missing' under tray. Big mistake, that could cost you a pretty penny but daddy can pay for that.
System probably more than the car can handle. I used to have a set of 12" Comp VR's and Resolution speaker inside and running 3 Kicker amps on my previous car
Not diggin' the black out badges, lights and did you also black out the power bulge on the hood?
I think if you took your car to L.A with all your stickers, you would most likely get shot at.
Look for DeeDubb's VR for inspiration..

which is why im getting the mazdaspeed bodykit not some retarded looking one with all kinds of ridges and angles.


Those strakes cover the all kinds of ridges and angles department very well. The MS kit would be an upgrade. Why cheapen the look of your car with all those stickers? Stop playing Need for Speed Most Wanted, it's affecting your judgement. Sorry kid.

get some wheels, dump the stickers and black stripe

funny how a guy with such a pile could be nominated for rx8 of the month......silly n00bs......

To the OP, all I can say is:

wow... really?

I understand you how you my feel the need to lash out and respond to some of the harsh comments. No one wants to be told that their pride and joy is a POS. However, before you do so, remember that your thread is called "Tell me what you think". People told you what they thought, as YOU invited them to do. Perhaps it wasn't what you wanted to hear, but that's life, and instances like this will happen many more times as you continue on thru the course of your life (I'm 24, btw...).

Regarding the car, I dislike the wheels, stripe, and window vinyl. However, I've seen the painted wheels look good on another 8, so it can work... If you lost the strip and window sticker (I've never had a problem with stickers...), lowered it some, and straightened the strakes, then your car would look significantly better...

Jus my 2 cents...

oh no you didnt...

hmm i dont know how say this, but putting stickers on cars doesnt make you look cool. there are ways to mod the exterior look with out going over board . but if your happy with the look of your car then that is you. but most ppl i know likes clean look vs loud look. not taht your car looks very loud or anything, but the look just doenst flow with smoothness. any how that is just my opinion btw.

thats it.....after work im getting some nos stickers and k & n stickers and stuff

where i'm from stickers only cause you headaches with the muscle car crowd. I think the big ass mazda sticker is a bit much, the strakes would look better in black, a CF hood would accent the look you are going for, i hope your turbo is properly tuned, and i like the speaker set up.

read the forum rules before posting . If the mods see anything like this again, you will be removed from this forum permanently.

yo tha shyt is crack kid, niggaz b hatin on this website 2 thumbs up if u ask me, check mines out, yo where u get the intake and that turbo

nah yo we aint hatin brah.....we just know wat iz teh bomb n u iznt!.....that intake came with the greddy turbo for shizzle mah man!.....most of us haterz gots skilz enuff 2 know wuts up!

I like the car for a couple reasons:

1. It's individual. There are a couple Rx-8s where even if I saw them going the other way on a highway I would know who that was (chrism).
2. It's not all 1 thing. It's got some paint work, some audio, a turbo kit. When I look at my car, I always think "I'm building the sports car I always wanted" and not "I'm building the rolling stereo I always wanted" or "the dragster I always wanted".

I think you have a couple things working against you.
1. The paint scheme is fairly rich. You are two-toning a car in 2 dark colors (red and black). On top of that, the the Rx-8 is a car with a lot of lines. On top of that, you are interjecting a prominant stripe and contrasting emblems and decals. This makes the car visually busy and heavy. On top of that, it looks like your pictures were taken on an overcast day.
2. The decals and abbreviated stripe on top of the base trim of the car make the car look short. The line of stickers and stripe both end at the firewall which kind of visually shortens the car.
3. The angle of your car in the second pic isn't flattering. The car has one wheel turned at the camera and is sitting back on the rear axle. This makes the close front end of the car a mile and a half off the ground. I have a stock ride height 8 at the moment and I almost had to look outside to see if it's really that high off the ground.
4. The reason *most* people don't like decals is because it emphasizes the brand name of a product over the actual product. That's like buying clothing on it with huge logos. You pay for the name hoping it impresses people. When you build a car, you use a lot of brand name stuff, but, in the end, you'd like to say you picked your parts because they were the best parts for the job, not because they were the biggest brand name. I've seen a few cars with decals that were unintrusive. They either put them on the side skirts or bumper corners.
5. The HUGE Mazda brow I just don't get. I have a tint brow that is probably even thicker than that, but it's much more featureless. Most would consider that redundant. Anyone who didn't know your car was a Mazda is probably not worth telling anyway.

I think, if you put on a MS kit, the car will look much better. It'll look lower, longer, and hopefully, dilute the color contrast a little. The decals I would leave along if you like them and those are companies you use. Generally, people are paid to put the decals on for a reason, but that's small potatoes. Then, take some pictures with the car angled a little better on a sunny day.

I bet with straight strakes, an MS kit, and no Mazda brow, the complaining about the stripe and decals would be less as well.

holy shit that had to be one of the most intelligent posts i seen in a while......by the way you coming out on sunday max?

I'll probably roll out on Sunday. None of my parts are here. Actually, I am slightly de-modded right now with the supercat sitting in my brother's shop. Pulled it off for a recall, meant to toss a hanger on it, and haven't done it yet.

I think the problem here and in the other thread... is the 8 is now going to "civic" mode. Its pretty cheap in resale value, and now people can pick them up for almost 16k in some places. This leads to the crappifying of the car.

and jmo is an idiot and an rx8 owner. how embarrasing.

I also disagree with giving people credit for just being "unique" - i can take a stock 8, spray paint it pink, and take a big fat dump on the roof. sure its UNIQUE - buts its still ugly as sh*t.

In my opinion, I think your car isn't really complete yet. And as far as the stickers and what not, a lot of people go through that phase. I think if there is a little bit more done to the exterior portion of the car (body kit, lip kit), the car would look very nice. I know how it is being young and buying an expensive ride. If it makes you feel any better, I'm only one year older than you. It's been hard to pay for everything, but that is what i get for trying to drive such a nice car. That is also why I am very cautious about what I do to it. I've owned my 8 for 5 months now, and my car hasn't gotten more progress than a rmagic front lip, apperance sides. strakes, front and rear trim, intake, and clear corners. >.< It sucks, but thats' the way I am.

I know everyone wants to personalize their car, but you have to understand that your taste isn't everyone else's taste. It is your ride, and what's most important is getting it the way you like it. Asking for other people's opinions, will get you just that, their honest opinion. I am very glad that you get to drive a ride like this in high school. If you take some of the advise here, I'm sure people at your school would love it even more.

I like the car for a couple reasons:

1. It's individual. There are a couple Rx-8s where even if I saw them going the other way on a highway I would know who that was (chrism).
2. It's not all 1 thing. It's got some paint work, some audio, a turbo kit. When I look at my car, I always think "I'm building the sports car I always wanted" and not "I'm building the rolling stereo I always wanted" or "the dragster I always wanted".

I think you have a couple things working against you.
1. The paint scheme is fairly rich. You are two-toning a car in 2 dark colors (red and black). On top of that, the the Rx-8 is a car with a lot of lines. On top of that, you are interjecting a prominant stripe and contrasting emblems and decals. This makes the car visually busy and heavy. On top of that, it looks like your pictures were taken on an overcast day.
2. The decals and abbreviated stripe on top of the base trim of the car make the car look short. The line of stickers and stripe both end at the firewall which kind of visually shortens the car.
3. The angle of your car in the second pic isn't flattering. The car has one wheel turned at the camera and is sitting back on the rear axle. This makes the close front end of the car a mile and a half off the ground. I have a stock ride height 8 at the moment and I almost had to look outside to see if it's really that high off the ground.
4. The reason *most* people don't like decals is because it emphasizes the brand name of a product over the actual product. That's like buying clothing on it with huge logos. You pay for the name hoping it impresses people. When you build a car, you use a lot of brand name stuff, but, in the end, you'd like to say you picked your parts because they were the best parts for the job, not because they were the biggest brand name. I've seen a few cars with decals that were unintrusive. They either put them on the side skirts or bumper corners.
5. The HUGE Mazda brow I just don't get. I have a tint brow that is probably even thicker than that, but it's much more featureless. Most would consider that redundant. Anyone who didn't know your car was a Mazda is probably not worth telling anyway.

I think, if you put on a MS kit, the car will look much better. It'll look lower, longer, and hopefully, dilute the color contrast a little. The decals I would leave along if you like them and those are companies you use. Generally, people are paid to put the decals on for a reason, but that's small potatoes. Then, take some pictures with the car angled a little better on a sunny day.

I bet with straight strakes, an MS kit, and no Mazda brow, the complaining about the stripe and decals would be less as well.
yea im not a pro photographer, thx for the advice on the pics and angles. ill do tht sometime (its really crappy here right now)

i kno wat ur sayin with the name brand shit but i didnt get those brands because they were big i got them because theyre good. GReddy, Exedy, K&N, etc. there are a few things that i think i should reconsider about my car but for now it looks good (to me)

im getting the mazspd kit soon, thats the best looking kit for the rx8 i think.

what is up with everyone and wanting a "clean looking 8" or a "factory looking 8"?!?!
FRIENDS DONT LET FRIENDS DRIVE STOCK!!!!
and if ur car isnt stock under the hood then lets let everyone know that ur modding it by adding to the outside. seriously is everyone in this forum thirty??? because it seems like older ppl dnt like modding their cars exterior.

AM I THE ONLY 18 YEAR OLD W/ AN RX8!!

:rock:(*******btw this is my first car.......no joke********):rock:

quit with the age thing..

i bought my own car.. at age 19... but that was 3 years ago. Take it easy with the personal attacks..believe it or not even if you DID delete your posts. i can still see them. i smell a ban comming on and most likely a thread closure.

Maybe you should spend less time riceifying your car and more time in english class. Take the time to type properly and spell check please.

I also disagree with giving people credit for just being "unique" - i can take a stock 8, spray paint it pink, and take a big fat dump on the roof. sure its UNIQUE - buts its still ugly as sh*t.

There are many examples of that on this site. This is too true of many "show cars".

Actually I think im a younger RX8 owner than you :Eyecrazy:
Got my new 07' 8 on my 17th birthday!

Oh u sound so so saucy when u talk "mod" :yumyum:

The Black and red scheme don't work well yet.

Something is wrong, black wheels, skinny tires, black labels, Tail lights too black, Mazda sticker.

Don't know but it needs more work. It doesn't seem to flow. Maybe the pictures are too dark.

do it do it!

Why start a thread titled, "TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK", if you're gonna whine like a bitch when people don't like it? You don't have to keep telling us you're 18... we can tell.

good burn

I can't resist chiming in since I could see your car someday since we are in neighboring states.

A some things have been covered already but I'll mention them as well:

1. The stripe on the side of the car doesn't do much of accentuating the lines of the car it could look better if it was installed at an angle since it can't run the length of the car. :dunno: I don't like pin striping on cars and it kind of looks like a fat pin stripe. :spew:

2. Stakes need adjustment for proper angle. :sad:

3. The Mazda front windshield placard is not necessary since it is plastered on the trunk and has an emblem on the nose. (When you get your MS kit shave the pin off of the Mazda emblem that goes on the nose so you can pull it down the road without having to fill the hole that would be in the nose if you didn't).

4. The stickers are not an accent to the car. Why sticker it up? :confused:

5. The blacked out tails are a bit much and would look classier with less tint. ;)

6. The audio install in the trunk looks decent. :icon_tup:

7. Harsh words on the forum doesn't get a person far and they end up looking like an ass...

Hope I covered everything. :scratchhe

BigO what color is your car? Its damn cleannnnnnnnnnn!its the standard factory winning blue color. i keep it polished cuz its gonna look horrid if the paint starts to fade.

your post isn't helping :lol2:

you should see them up close!

you need to put the under tray back asap.
1) it looks ghey without it, like you have a big gaping hole... surprise! you do.
2) your gonan cause a lot of damage one day, if you havent already... mazda and every other car manufacturer doesnt put those things there just cause they are cool to brag about

either:
drop the car, get a bodykit, fix the strakes, fix the miscolored bumper, and be sponsored/paid for what you have done to the car...

OR

get rid of the: rims, oversize mazda emblem, stripe, strakes, stickers, odd colored bumper... and start over

remember, unless you have an outright show or sponsored car... subtlety is key

Mine got ripped off after I ran over road debris that fell off the back of the truck in front of me and I took it to Mazda and they said it was fine... then again, I didn't rip it ENTIRELY off... just the mudguard things (or whatever they're called) right behind the wheel and two small sections of the tray. Stupid 18 wheelers and their inability to keep all their crap on the flatbed.... gr.

lol..

mines not lowered......but i have the MS kit....which if i lower ......i think there goes my friggin bumper..

what do you think R888...?

You never been to Quebec!!:banghead:

Mine is gone too. I've seen a few other 8's without it as well. I blame Mazda for not designing a better way to keep those things on there.

hey man sweet pics.......how did you get black emblems i tried painting mine but it wouldnt stick??

you did not just compare this car in any way shape or form to deedub's.

LOL! Someone had to say it! Haha, peace!

i dont know if its the black rims or wat...but its dirty as heck to me .....i just dont like black riims
