looks good.

its beautiful!!!!!!! did you get neons?

does look very nice. Glad i could help!

really though you need to wetsand and buff atleast the front doors and fenders to get the rest of the car looking as clean and "new" as the front bumper does.

Also get some wider wheels in the back or atleast some spacers now that you have it lowered. :)

Yep. I will get some pics, maby a video tonight.

In person the paint looks better, but I plan on getting the whole rest of the car buffed ASAP. I havent put on the springs yet.

why the under glow??

looks like you took alot of the bad dry fitment issues out...

why the under glow??

Why not? I dont drive around with it on. And I love rice.:lol:

I told the shop to focus on the gap by the hood, and when they adjusted that up it brought the sides in closer.

I love rice too!
but then again, im asian :eyetwitch
haha
your 8 looks sick :)

looks horrible i hate it. ha ha, glad to see another nice looking velocity red with the autobahn front, have fun with all the comments you are about to get cause people seem to love it and always wonder what kinda car it is. looks sweet

Sweet lookin' ride......

Looks great man! But now since you have the aggressiveness of an aftermarket body kit, and a CF hood, you need some aftermarket wheels :)

Did you get the rear as well?

Look nice!

Question, where did you get the kit? and


http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk125/mtltr450/car/fit4.jpg

Is that white stuff is for filling holes?

Did you get the rear as well?

No. But I need to get something back there.

shineauto. they have an ebay store. just search ebaystores for "ShineAutoProject"

I think it was just to smooth it out a little.

autobahn is sexy!
how was the fitment when you first got it? did the shop have to do much work?

Looks good. How much did it cost for fitment and paint? I plan on getting my bumper fitted better and repainted since the color match isn't that great. Thanks.

Those pics were before any adjusting so fitment was very good in my opinion for something aftermarket.

They had to take the brackets by the markers out and they trimmed the mount on the top of the bumper to pull it closer. I will try to take pics for you.

looks like it still needs some work on the corners, but not bad.

your hood looks perfect, lol.

Get some rims and put those s-techs on!

so how much was it all together?

so how much was it all together?

It was about 1400 for the fitment, paint, mounting and wiring the lights, they apoxyed the grill on, if you look in the pics you can see where they did some apoxy between the sides and body. And they also replaced the front splash sheild, installed the new wheel liner and put in the strakes.

Nice glad you were able to use those springs. Here is my replacement, hopefully they won't sit in the garage forever this time.

hipermax RS!! steppin up. i went from s-techs to those too!

hipermax RS, BALLER!

I want to puth them on but............ok I'll admit it................... I'm scared.:icon_no2: I want to fill the wheel gaps but dont want to scrape. I was thinking of getting 19's when I do wheels. Do you guys think that will fill that gap ok?

I think with 19's you'll sit good. Don out in Vegas has 19's with Stechs and his car looks amazing.

19s will look bigger, but you won't fill the gap unless the tire diameter is larger than 25.9".

just lower it. we've all have scraped. it's inevitable. After a couple times it won't hurt so bad. I would show you a pic of how bad someone on here scraped his front, but he probably wouldn't like it. lol....

the real thing is KW Variant 3's!

wow looks great!

unfortunately scrapping is part of the game. looking forward to seeing your car on a drive!

I was so mad it wasn't done for the international meet in issaquah. I want to go to some meet before this winter.

Drive to SOCAL in Sept for Sevenstock. I may be going this year. There should be some caravan threads popping up in the NW section. I started a feeler thread but it is not getting much attention.

I'm on that thread. Its like 1100 miles each way, and so far this summer has been very expensive. If I get a good bonus at work this month I may try to make it.

some new ones.

I need to adjust them so the light fills underneath better.

Please Get Rid Of Those!!!!!!!!!!!

Please Get Rid Of Those!!!!!!!!!!!

I had second thoughts when I first got the car back but i'm not going through the hassle of taking them out for what little I could get for them.

So i'm sorry but your going to have to live with it!!! JK

I think they would look ok hooked to the courtesy light fuse. They come on when you unlock the car and turn off at the same time courtesy/puddle lights turn off.

that would be pretty cool.

strakes = caca

I like em. Where did you get the glow. I just bought the interior led kit for mine (BLUE) and under-glow in blue would look sickkkkkk!

nicely done mate :)

I got them from a local shop here, I will try to remember the company name. They have a multi color one thats a little more but makes tons of colors.

nicely done mate :)

Thanks!!

:rant: We are all well aware of your stance on strakes.:cussing:

Just teasing

Sorry I never noticed your reply.check out this thread that shows the fitment of the original. http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=97916&page=10

I dont know if thats how they all are but thats what shine had to work from.

if you mean post 239 in that thread, shine did not use the top bumper bracket, that's why it was having fitment problems.

Thats why I said I dont know if thats how they all fit, I new someone out there would know for sure what the deal was . Now I know, and i heard somewhere that thats half the battle.:lol2:

Great pics! :banghead:

its in my garage and with the garage lights on you cant see the lights, and i'm not going to warm it up to park it outside next to a dim light for better pics. it will look better when I get the footwell lights from RR.

Well done tuner! Nice to see someone out here in the Seattle area with a different body kit. Try to make it to the Saturday meet at Starbucks this coming weekend, I wanna see your car in person.

Not bad. Paint is just a tadd off. You getting them wheels? That would look sick in 19 with a killer off set IF your going for show that is right?

it looks good.!

I think the paint will be better once I get the rest of the car buffed. Those are the wheels I am planning on but I have a lot of other things first. Trip to mexico for wedding next summer, about $2500 in repairs to my quad :icon_no2: , about 2k in medical bills and my wedding in 2010. So maby

it looks good.!


Thanks!
