I thought I would share with you guys.....

This is the kit that I was trying to setup for a group buy but no one wanted in.....Oh well:dunno:

But anyway got the wing, rear bumper, hood and front bumper on the car I am going to try to get the side skirts on the car by the end of next week........

I still have a lot of little tweaks and quirks I want to work out....but it is coming along nicely

Let me know what you guys think.......

need new rims.

just don't do what that other guy did and buy the 16" automatic rims...

LOL^ Give me yours!

By the way I will be painting it all WINNING BLUE except the hood of course!

Looks pretty goods. Very agressive.

The hood looks good, the body kit should too when it's painted, but the mesh on the front bumper doesn't do it for me. I'll reserve judgment for when I see it on the 23rd though.

i hope you haven't been driving around like that...white front, black rear, white spoiler, blue car?

the fitment looks ok in these small pics, but the front bumper seems to flare forward when looking at the wheel well. i don't know, it just might be my eyes cuz of the high contrast of the white bumper. will wait to see when it's painted.

Oh yes I have been driving around!!!!!......Don't forget the CF hood as well in the mix....it is flaring to much in the front becasue of my K&N Air filter is in the way....I am working on a work around....

Dont paint it, leave it the way it is, looks hotttt!

LOL....

is that sarcasism?

so awesome

wow brice you have been busy..... well i should have a gauge pod for you soon... if you want one

yeah my body aches like hell and I think I lost 10lbs this weekend....sooooo freaking HOT!

I might take you up on the gauge pod......I might need it for my special projects :)

that looks hot the way it is.

dont get it painted, you'll ruin the multi-color hotness.

blumonstr approximately how much lower do you think the ings front bumper sits than the stock. i'm thinking about getting this bumper and i was wondering about clearance. thanks

sarcasim or are you on drugs ?

I would paint the bonnet blue as well .......

It aligns with my intercooler perfectly so I would say it is about the same height as those with an App. Package.

Those without an app package I would say max 2-3 inches

I am going to rock the panda look\ Shark whale feel for a while I like all the people looking at me like WTF!!!! They hear the BOV and go WTH?!?!?!, then they see the flames and that just seals the deal for me.

I will have it painted by the end of the month......maybe a blue cammo paint job...;)

sarcasim or are you on drugs ?


Dont worry guys I was being sarcastic.

is the rear made of polyurethane?

New rims and tint needed.

is that the fitment and everything straight out of the shipping box? or is that out from the body shop already? if thats out the box that is very nice. I may have to consider..

sarcasim or are you on drugs ?

I would paint the bonnet blue as well .......

+1 Random CF panels always seem to look cheap and ricey.

The rear is urethane

I have been trying to get rims but VarneyMazda seems to have been on the down low. I Really wanted his GT-7 rims but anyway I can wait no big deal there will be other rims available. As for tint, it is in the very near future as well as Tinting the the tails, headlights, side markers car and etc...

Fitment as follows it is mostly out of the box but those of you that do your own body work will know how easy/difficult it is to body work. The Wing had minor drilling that had to be done to make it perfect....probably 2-3 hrs worth of work.

The rear bumper was one complete piece...as in there were no holes or slots for anything, such as the licsense plate light hole, holes to hold the plate and of course the mounting slots. I would say there was 4-5 hrs worth of work on the rear bumper but on a difficulty scale of 1-10 I would only say a 4. Carving and drilling was needed so not to bad. Fitment on the rear bumper was EXCELLENT!!! easy to fit and mount, urethane is very pliable which makes it easier to work with.

The front bumper is fiberglass......what a bitch.....very stiff and difficult to work with I needed to carve out the side markers and now I have to refiberglass it to make it look good. Right now I am hoping that having it on the car and driving around will help relax and loosen the front bumper a lil bit. I had to remove the oem mounting bracket and redrill the aftermarket one to use the oem brackets. I then removed the side marker guides where the piece would typically snap to because of the way the mold was created for this particular piece. All in all the front bumper still requires more work....I am having some friends that have done this more to help out with perfecting fitment, patience and ahrd work will bring this project together. On a scale of 1-10 for difficulty I would say about a 7.

Thanks for the comments


BTW this was completely done by myself and I have never done any body work before..LOL

looks good, I think I know what I'm going to save up for next. Are you going to use the ings sides or MS? I wonder how street concept's rmagic kit fits...

ING sides....any recommendations I would follow is to get urethane if possible

looking really good but it does look like you need some rims

pretty tight, i really like that hood.

Your car looks like a smurf with a black beard! hahaha paint that shyt!

Maybe you should just drive without a hood, couldn't look any worse than the hood you have.

Lmao^

maybe get the ms sides

I am putting on carbon fiber side splitters so it will look like MS sides :)


I ordered my rims today too!

Should be here soon :)

That front bumper reminds me of a fish.....

:rofl:

blue, what hood is that? i thought those rear vents on the seibon & vis are just cosmetic. did you cut yours open? how's fitment?

looking good though! i agree on the rim upgrade :)

This hood is known as the Revolver, actually vented thru to the engine.

Fitment was puuurrfect on the hood...:)

The rims should be here next week Volk GT-7's...:)

so do you crap out money???? where does it all come from?

work?

I sell myself in my freetime...apparently I am worth some money. :)

J/k Work...LOL....I work at Office Depot.

for the hood, does watter just go staringt into the engine bay?
I think the real r-magic hood has something that routs the water away.

Brice,

Can't wait to see it all painted out. It's going to be unique, and you'll be able to look at her and think to yourself that you did a whole bunch of that on your own. Nice job!

Michael :)

Updates? :-D

brice i gotta admit, youve become more riced over the past month than mustard man ever has been. good job bud.

btw, you forgot to mention the bootleg dvd shop on eBay

lmao.

:gotrice: :score:

Paint......when I get PPG to sponsor the paint and the shop to sponsor the rest of the labor.

get a clear corner?

Wait wait! See how many unpainted mods you can add to the car before you paint it. Make a world record out of it.

get a clear corner?

Think hes going to black them out, New rims looking good man, Can't wait to see them at Mazda Summerpalooza 2007 FTW !!!!

Since you are planning on getting paint sponsored will you be keeping the same color or doing it completely different?

Candy Blue.....

this multi -color 8 definitely be alot more head turner than every other 8. it should be a nice looking car after u painted it, i am sure.

btw, can u take a bigger picture of ur rear vent?

Candy Blue.....

is that the blue/purple color changing paint?

i imagine it will probabley look good after you paint it but righ know it is hard to focus/look at one part in paticular. hope to see it complete soon.

Hey blu.. I was looking at your photos and noticed the wastegate doesn't appear to have the Tial text on the top. Is yours a knockoff or is the jpg compression making it difficult to read? The text looks like it might be there, I just can't tell.
