DrewMan 08-27-2007, 07:33 AM nice pics.... what kind of hood do u have?
stock hood
its just got a hood scoop on it!
CTrx8 08-27-2007, 07:53 AM wow, i really like how it came together. i'm assuming that's the accolade MS front, right? i'm still not sold on the hood scoop but i think it's just b/c it's different and i could see it growing on me. very nicely done.

you thought correctly!
I saw the scoop on the mazdaspeed concept and I was hooked on day one!

StealthTL 08-27-2007, 08:03 AM Great looking scoop, Drew!
What brand is it? Where did you find one that fit so well?
S
DrewMan 08-27-2007, 08:07 AM it doesnt really have a brand?
i bought it off a guy on the net who fabricates fibreglass parts.
there was also a carbon option but since it was getting panted and weight was minimal, i went for the fibreglass one.
fit perfectly! Just had to cut a hole into the hood to make it "functional"
RogueTadhg 08-27-2007, 09:01 AM wow, can you get a close up on the whole hood.
That's a very nice looking RX8 you've got. :D

RNE515 08-27-2007, 06:23 PM nice drew!
Brettus 08-27-2007, 06:39 PM Like it a lot . Would go that way if I didn't track the car .
What is with the chipboard under the scoop ?
RotaryShow72 08-27-2007, 06:39 PM Wow that is a beautiful 8!
CTrx8 08-27-2007, 07:07 PM What is with the chipboard under the scoop ?
guessing for rain?
perks11 08-27-2007, 07:36 PM i dont really like the hood scoop but other than that the ride looks sweet
9krpmrx8 08-27-2007, 08:24 PM That's a nice Mercury Cougar. Oh, shit, I mean RX8!
p-trix 08-27-2007, 08:59 PM Wherew Did You Get Those Fender Vents
NgoRX8 08-27-2007, 09:09 PM looks good. i'd remove the sticker and relocate the front license plate.
first car i've seen on here with the Knight Sport fender vents and Accolade Front
DrewMan 08-27-2007, 09:22 PM Like it a lot . Would go that way if I didn't track the car .
What is with the chipboard under the scoop ?
its the top side of the grey heat pad thats between the bonnet and engine.
ive cut more of it out so you cant see it anymore
DrewMan 08-27-2007, 09:23 PM looks good. i'd remove the sticker and relocate the front license plate.

DrewMan 08-27-2007, 09:23 PM Wherew Did You Get Those Fender Vents

pm fdracer
NgoRX8 08-27-2007, 09:28 PM what i meant was relocate the license plate. im not a fan of license plates off center. just my opinion though.
chrism 08-27-2007, 09:39 PM wow thats sexy
DrewMan 08-27-2007, 11:06 PM Thanks for all the comments guys!
DrewMan 08-27-2007, 11:16 PM what i meant was relocate the license plate. im not a fan of license plates off center. just my opinion though.
id been toying with the evo plate idea for ages and i thought id do it finally with the new front bar!
DrewMan 08-28-2007, 01:52 AM what i meant was relocate the license plate. im not a fan of license plates off center. just my opinion though.
its been drilled into the front bumper so iven if i relocate it, theres going to be some holes :)

CoMBo8 08-28-2007, 02:58 PM the painted rear bottom difusal actually looks good. nice car.
DrewMan 08-29-2007, 06:23 AM the painted rear bottom difusal actually looks good. nice car.
yeah I thought id do something different rather than paint it all the same colour (be it gunmetal or the same colour as the car)

dmc27 09-07-2007, 08:54 PM OMG that hood is pure sex!! Loved it when I first saw the concept, too. Major kudos! There are actually a few things that I wouldn't do with mine (not that I could afford any of that) but they're so easy to overlook when the car looks that good!
Now I'm just going to throw in a bunch of exclamation points cuz your 8 is sick!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!
