NEW Pics of my '04 Black RX-8

Hey all... I got home from school today so I washed her up for the first time in a while. Just a simple wash (no wax), because I am having custom exhaust tips and hopefully tint put on in the next week or so. After everything is complete, I will then wax & polish and post finished pics. Here are the pics for now...

Exterior Mods: Clear Corners, Strakes, F & R Accents, Custom Badges, 18" VSR Wheels, Avon Tech M550 Tires... Stainless Steel 4" Exhaust Tips & Tint SOON!!

My girlfriend got me the PSU badge and painted it Black (was Navy Blue). I love it.. I wish the black was hollowed out so you could see tha car paint, but we used Mazda BB to paint it so it looks good)

Tell me what you think!! (& YES, I know LOWER THE CAR!!!)... (& YES, I am pissed about the ding in the driver's side rear door)

Looks sharp. Welcome to the BB club. I love the car in black, but boy is it hard to keep looking nice. I'm going to do tints after today, 88 degs, and black car = oven.

the PJM are my initials... it looked kinda lonely sitting alone, so I added the 8 beside it. More mods are def. coming, but I just got my first ticket yesterday in the 8 coming home from PSU after taking my last final and graduating... what a present, huh? The cop was very short and didn't buy into the graduating story... I was hoping he was going to come back and say "here's a warning for your graduation present". $153.50 later... the mods take a short-term back seat...

As for the ding.. doesn't that SUCK?? Right on the horizontal accent line... some f*cker at school hit it and I know what car it was b/c I always look out my window to see who is parked next to me, but when I went out and saw the ding with paint on it, the car was gone and I never saw it again in my lot or nearby... I have a tiny one on the other side as well, so I think I am going to call one of those paintless dent removers to come out and grab both at once... it is painful to look at!!

you need headlight mounted missle launchers, foglight machineguns, and of course an ejection seat.

other than that it's looking clean

My apologies... They are Stainless Steel T304 exhaust tips... I don't know why I said "chrome". I will post pictures when they are put on.

That Nittany Lion is awesome. Pretty good idea. Also, pretty embarressing that someone said it looked like a bear? Honestly, some people just do not know collegiate stuff. Car is looking good.
