Please tell me a bit more about the rear under bumper, the standard rear under bumper is the ugliest part of the car..

You've obviously hit the sound system too - head unit altered? Pics?

Could you take off that wing for a moment... it's blocking the veiw of the car. Other than that it's looking good.

Yep, love the car overall....but that "Whale" wing has to go.....makes the car look like a $10 hooker on Rodeo Drive!

I LOVE IT. Even the WING!

You guys need to look at some of the GRAND TOURING CARS,
they have the same wings on the back.

You don't like the wing? That's really surprising. I thought it would go great with your RX-8 project...it would go along great with your new aluminum gas cap.

I'd be too busy laughing at your car.

And who's the internet tough guy who likes to threaten others? I see you can't take criticism.

you just don't get it.

you seem to be the person with something to prove. 90% of your posts say this:

1) i'm getting this _____ part tomorrow
2) I'll post some pics later
3) I ordered that from canzoomer
4) my car has this, and I love it

You remind me of Mr. Smith from the Matrix..."ME, ME, ME". All you do is posts things about yourself, and your history of posts can prove that. I on the other hand have nothing to prove, but can't help but comment on the ever-growing post count you seem to contribute to this forum.

Hey RX8LOVER - you need to STFU! Right now - You are just a flee. You just come on here a talk crap about everyone and everything they do to their RX8.
What have you done?????????????????????????????????

Do something to your car and then maybe you can have an opinion.

I've got to agree with RX8Lover on this one - Mike A & B (if you are different people), you need to get over yourselves. Mikeb is sort of a forum hog at this site.

Finally, sounds of reason arise from within the bowels of society here.

Someone close this thread quick!

Yes we are two different people! Also about MikeB being a hog, what does he do? Makes a lot coments? Big deal, he doesn't post a bunch of nonsense and rude comments about you and your RX8's. You guys just talk crap because he is doing something with his car and not just looking at it!

um, ok.

I do subtle & tasteful upgrades to cars, however I do not drop the entire price of one car into another...i.e., spending $20k to mod a Civic to death, only to get it stolen, and get nothing back for it.

already Mikeb is spending like its the end of the world with wonderful mods like aluminum gas caps, carbon fiber B pillars, etc. I can't wait until he drops it 3 inches and starts painting the entire interior red.

11-21-2003, 03:20 PM
I funny thing is that "We modified the civic when we were 19 & 20 years old". Now his 22 and still can modify a new car to hell and back and still can afford to buy ten more, unlike you, you broke JRKOFF!

So get over it !!!!!!!

I'm not sure that was English, but...

I never said I was broke. I choose not to waste all that money into a brand new car. Cars depreciate in value over time, not APPRECIATE. You would be good in Real Estate though. Sinking all that money would in turn prove to be quite beneficial when you sell the home.

But on cars, it is the biggest waste. Enjoy. :p

Yeah, he made it into a car he felt was the only Civic that looked like that, but then it got stolen. If I remember correctly, he had BMW fenders installed on them, and when they recovered the car after being stolen, the car was gutted except for the fenders.

It's funny, even the thieves had taste.

My .02 cents:

Car forums are generally populated by car enthusiasts, by owners with questions, and by potential owners. All have different reasons for being here.
However, many forum members are interested in "modding" their cars. If its tastefull or not is none of our business. Sure we are entitled to our opinions, but that, in my opinion, does not justify being offensive towards anyone.

If anyone wants to spend a ton of money in their cars, and if that makes them happy, by all means let them. If you think its a waste, don't spend your money. People have different hobbies and priorities... and some seem to argue for all the wrong reasons.

He is allowed to do whatever he likes to his car, after all it is his, not yours. If you don't like the mods he does, don't complain because everyone is allowed their own opinion.
Like many people say, if you have not got anything nice to say, say nothing at all. :D

yes its Tom's who also has the Hybrid Silver RX-7. Same with a lot of RX-7 owners in the show scene, they got a RX-8 as their next project like Tony Yeh from Team Techna with the chameleon crazy fast RX-7.
