wow...for some reason..yur stock rx8 well..with some minor mods like rims and the wing makes it look extremely attractive. i've always thought the stock appearance package was just okay and wasnt worth it but now...its simple..but yet effective. very impresseed good stuff.

that cortc is a damn fine car. wish i could make my black 8 just like yours :(

i always try to tell people to paint calipers silver (don't like red), just like you did it! so nice... i'll paint mine too some day...

This is where I received my inspiration... Porsche uses black for the base cars silver for the S models and red for the turbos and top of the line models... I always thought the silver looked the best...:)

Hmm... I remember I suggested one person in this forum about silver calipers, so i did a little search, found this:
http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=27981&perpage=15&pagenumber=3
Guess what, it was you!
Maybe you didn't pay attention to my point back then, but it's so nice you finally did it! Seriously, to me it is BY FAR the best 8 in the forum.

My emotions, when I see your pics: :eek: keep changing :( , but I can't help myself :mad: because what keeps me from doing what you did is not money, but knowledge! Since I'm no expert I ain't sure I wanna mess with wheels, sunspensions and stuff like that. However, I'm trying to find a mechanic I can trust...
Keep posting pics! One with your car cruising would be nice!

RotorManiac: Yes, I remember your suggestion and I agree with you; silver is the way to go...:)

hey cortc did the shocks lower the car a bit more or no b/c i recollect seeing another member with just the springs but the fender gap was a lot larger.

Very nice, the first wing that isn't to the sky and looks classy. Did you paint the strakes a gunmetal? Awesome, Awesome job!
