Interesting, different, cool.

Thats one clean RX8. Love the look of the Vertical Doors. How much was that install? Also, the grill.. Loving that.. Did you buy that or make it? Also, what body kit do you have?

wow i knew that you had the mods but you are pulling out the big guns now !

...middle aged woman... :rollingla


if they only knew....:rollingla

(that im just a teen ager in disquise)

the kit is very expensive...you can check their website for pricing...labor is costly also...very time consuming especially to get the adjustments just right and have good door closures...

body kit is Veilside - V1 front lip and D1GT side skirts and rear..

grille insert is from Grille tech (very very inexpensive)

thanks

:D:

not a big fan of lambo doors but looks very nice on the 8 .

F@CKIN TIGHT! I was thinking of doing the same thing but wasn't too sure now I know my I've gotta have it! Does it have the magic touch?

damn pat!!!.....how did you hide this one from me??

damn pat!!!.....how did you hide this one from me??

i wanted to surprise you today in person at E town....:sad:

There arent very many things that arent expensive anymore! Thanks!

Do you have Race or Diamond style? Install that yourself? How did it go? Could you take an up close of the grill?

love the vertical doors. funny how some people call them lambo doors.
if we could afford the doors on a lambo we would probably own a lambo.. :angel: :rock: :ylsuper:
by the way are they bolt on or welds????

damn pat!!!.....how did you hide this one from me??

Neener, neener, I knew about them!!! :rofl:

sweet! I've seen MazdaManiac's vertical doors and on the RX8 they just make it look soooo exotic. Awesome

Lookin good shinks. Whoever waxed your car did an amazing job.
Wanna buy me some upgrades? lol.

Looks hawt!

My g/f took one look at the pics and now she wants one. She was rear-ended here in Orlando last week. Insurance is totalling the car so now we're car shopping again. :cwm27:

I also want to commend you on your ability to always keep your car so damn clean. :ylsuper:

I think I just had a few multiples ..

This post is worthless without pics! http://smileys.on-my-web.com/repository/Laughing/lol-021.gif

:Eyecrazy: :Eyecrazy: ... ow wooooooooooo GAH :Eyecrazy: :Eyecrazy:

From teenager in disguise to another... she looks great!! I already have pics of her saved in my 'I want' file for the hood now I have added these. Don't forget to post some pics when she comes back from Pettit. :rock:

Over the top and totally unnecessary, but it does look damn good and exotic. I would love to do this to my car, but I already have so many scares with people getting in an out of my car. I have had my doors closed the wrong way, people getting in and out are always hitting the seat bolsters (ive seen many Rx-8's with torn seats), and I know that mod would make me extra anal about people entering and exiting my car. Am I right or wrong with the assumption that the vertical door kit makes it difficult to get in and out of the car?

I'm lovin' the way the car turned out. :ylsuper:

There will always be people who don't like Lambo doors on anything...including a Lambo....but I think they are way too cool for all those fools.

Clean clean clean! You are definitely my next nomination for the June..July...or whatever RX8 of the month.

Great job. :rock:

Your car looks nice and clean, well done.

My Dear, this car is gorgeous, the color / body kit combo is really working well.

For me to say i do not like the doors, will only be because it will deter me from getting them and spending more money on the car.

But i cant help it, it looks gorgeous..

Job well done,

thanks folks....

it means a lot to me to get props from everyone on the forum... :wiggle:

Thats a very very nice car. Congrats with it. AND your names Pat so you get +2 (im patrick/pat for short) good car, good name!

could this car possibly get any sexier?! :D:

Give it a couple weeks and the answer is YES!

Lookin shweet Pat! [Gets in line for Sugarmomma] :D:

Jeez Pat. I'm just thinking back to the one show last year with you, Chrism, Time, Benny, and me there parked in a row. That row doesn't look so good for me right now.

I can just see it now:
Dude: Hey - what did you bring?
Me: An Rx-8
Dude: The Kitted SCed One with the Vert Doors?
Me: No.
Dude: The Kitted Nitrous One?
Me: No.
Dude: The Kitted Turbo One?
Me: No.
Dude: Well, the kitted copper shinka with the hot wheels?
Me: Umm, no.
(dude walks away)
Me: But it's got tint!!

could this car possibly get any sexier?! :D:

hmmmm...i dont know...got any ideas??? perhaps a blower under the hood...with a polished upper intake manifold and anodized black blower :D:

hey Chris
didnt you get your trunk done?

Yeah - I'm just kidding. I'm shopping for more stuff as we speak. I had to buy kitchen mods over the winter which just isn't as fulfilling as you might think.

^lol. It's tough to convince yourself you're buying the sexies damn refrigerator available. That'll earn you some funny looks.

I had to buy a dish washer and I got one with a stainless interior. I was like, "Holy Cow! Bling Bling!". Some morning, they'll catch me halfway in the thing trying to hit it up with some polish! Sadly, www.DishwasherClub.com has really lame meets.

bwahwahwahwah!!! :rofl:

Shinka213, car looks great. Best looking Shinka out there IMO. I really like the wheels. They look really good against the Shinkas paint.

Wow.. Nice..

I think it looks very cool...question though...the website mentions that most cars will need to have the fenders rolled...did you have to do that?
