Photo modification...opinions.

Hey all...I'm playing around with pictures of my car to see what certain mods will look like...rather combinations of mods. I'm not real skilled but thought I'd give photo modification a shot.

Here's the before pic.

Mazdaspeed side skirts
Mazda Front air dam
Clear corners
Lowered suspension (probably JIC or Tein)
Powdercoated Factory Rims (gunmetal)

Nice job.
Trying to get my black RX8 to look something like that. I'm planning on.....
Mazdaspeed sides, rear, and spoiler.
Front lip (probably the ks-auto carbon fiber) or stock lip
Gunmetal mazdaspeed rims
Probably won't lower it. (need to check clearance w/ kit on)

Pr0ber...

I did the same thing on that site!! Cept I didn't want the rear wing. I want to keep the stock rims (I like the way they look) but I want to get them darkened/powdercoated. I'm just not sure how dark I want to go. And yes....good taste indeed.

Yup, I'm going to do much the same thing... Mazda apprearance package front spoiler and rear flares, and Mazdaspeed side skirts. Got the front and rear bits now, just need to get the MS side skirts.

Silver MS to black

In black, quick and sloppy didn't take too much time to detail but it gets the picture across.

Awesome. Thanks alot.
I really like those MS rims. They remind me of the Volk TE37's except the MS are 5spoke.

nice to see some black 8 owners here. what grille color would you guys prefer on a black ms front bumper 8.... that silver-ish color like KC's, a gunmetal color to match the rims, or a pure black color?

i'd still stick with the ms ones... i like the smaller hole design in the center of the wheel...though if the price was better on the nismo...that's something different :D

The gunmetal rims do look much better than the stock aluminium-coloured rims.
I'd say go with the gunmetal grill. I'll look fwd to seeing how it looks like when done.

That would be due to Rays Engineering being the parent of "Volk Racing" ....

Ah...so Mazdaspeed uses Ray's rims as well? Cool.
The rims on the Track model of the Z are Rays, and they look exactly like the TE-37's to me.
