View Full Version : Your Opinion??
mbate23 04-17-2007, 02:52 AM Ok I'm kind of new to this, I thought that I might do a bit of doodling and came up with this. I know it's a kind of dodgy render, I'll do up a better one asap. But I was after your opinion of this kit, any advice would be much apprechiated thanks in advance :)

paulmasoner 04-17-2007, 02:58 AM i like it... rear pics/renderings?
mbate23 04-17-2007, 03:02 AM thanks, the rear pics are on there way, my computer is kind of slow lol
dbright007 04-17-2007, 03:02 AM No offense, but the car itself looks a little off.
Looks like nice siderails, and nice front lip. Kind of a big mouth...
I like your work..
Mazdaspeed RX8 ver2 04-17-2007, 03:04 AM very nice work... though this front seems familiar...
TurboEight 04-17-2007, 04:08 AM very nice work... though this front seems familiar...
i agree..maybe someone will chime in and say the kit's name!
mbate23 04-17-2007, 05:14 AM Could someone please explain what part of it looks like the mazdaspeed front bumper, the only part that I can see that looks slightly like the mazdaspeed is the side vents
TomAssBender 04-17-2007, 12:39 PM i like it. i'd buy it. i think.
NgoRX8 04-17-2007, 01:16 PM not bad. i think you should round off the center grille more. kinda looks like an open mouth. i like the bottom lip.
c0ldf1ame 04-17-2007, 01:21 PM hey if you show me your wireframe maybe i can help you clean it up a little :) good work btw
perks11 04-17-2007, 01:40 PM look sweet. I would buy it. i agree though the front does kinda look like a mouth
Tayler 04-17-2007, 02:20 PM Pretty similar to the Odula kit, but good looking none the less...
CarAndDriver 04-17-2007, 03:01 PM ^ It definitely looks like that one.
bruce_van 04-17-2007, 11:22 PM I think that looks pretty decent. How about leaving space in the front openings for the fog lights where the thin horizontal lines go.....much like the Cayman fog lights.

RotaryP7 04-17-2007, 11:44 PM I like it!
AJ's Shinka 04-18-2007, 12:02 AM It's the exact same front fender on the 2005 Dropstars widebody RX-8 featured in the Dec 05 issue of Performance Auto and Sound magazine. It's also in this month's issue of PAS magazine on pg 200 same color too. It was a one of a kind piece done by John's Customs and Performance in Torrance, Ca. I wish they had made more I would've bought it.
mbate23 04-18-2007, 02:05 AM i like it... rear pics/renderings?
I know the wing is quite horrible.......I was trying new things :P

I did actually do up some drawings with the fog lights like that, I just got to find them...........

What is this kit? I can't say that I have ever seen it.
Wanganrx8 04-18-2007, 03:23 AM pretty cool lookin
tony_673 04-18-2007, 03:35 AM I think it's alright. I give it a 7/10

YayAreaBruh21 04-18-2007, 09:29 AM what program are you using? PM me please. got some questions.
bruce_van 04-18-2007, 11:38 AM Those fog lights complete the look a lot more for me.
Tayler 04-18-2007, 04:31 PM Yeah with the fogs the kit really stands on it's own and I like how you continued the forward progression of the fender lines down to the nose. Really gives the car a mean mug. I'd suggest cleaning up the rear a little, maybe try to reduce the amount of lines? Seems just a bit too busy for my likings, but you're off to a great start!
Transam kid 01 04-18-2007, 05:27 PM looks too ricey for me
WoodsOfGreenRx8 04-18-2007, 06:54 PM The second rendering looks nice.. Like Tayler said.. Pretty damn aggressive. With the rear, Id personally remove some of the fins on the lower part & the center *grill* area.. Other than that, not bad.. Curiousity.. How string would that middle bar be with the fog lights?
AJ's Shinka 04-19-2007, 02:13 AM What is this kit? I can't say that I have ever seen it.
According to the article in the magazine it was a one of a kind wide body kit done by John's Custom and Performance.
mbate23 04-20-2007, 12:35 AM Here's another render

mbate23 04-20-2007, 01:53 AM Does anybody think this kit has a chance on the market? As I said I'm new to this and I really don't know where to go from here. Does anybody know any companies that I should go to about this? Thanks
mbate23 04-22-2007, 09:55 PM Anyone?
BigRed 04-22-2007, 10:00 PM all i can say is that the 1 with the foglights looks amazing. it has a high end sports car look.

Fortunate Few 05-22-2007, 02:13 PM that looks sick. I like the one with the fog lights more as well.
kwescott 05-22-2007, 02:47 PM where are you located? There are a lot of companies in Cali that may be able to address your questions. Shine auto and Accolade are two companies on this forum that have made replica kits, as well as some other knock-off type kits.
