That wing is incase he breaks down. He can use it as a handle to push it then. Just kidding. I dont like it. I think it needs to be lower.

that's a nice third row of seating you got there. it's great on those sunny days when you can get 2 people to sit back there and have their hair blowing in the wind.

So what track do you run it at? I probably would have done suspension mods first if I were racing, but that's just me.

You really like that? Looks to 'ricey' for my tastes.

everyone have their own opinion and they own way of doing mods. you only do mod because you like what you see...i like it. it will look more complete when i have the body kit on....thanks for all the input

No, no then it will look like the car of someone with no clue what the term 'performance' means. See you at the 3fast3furious debut.

The wing is nice, it just needs a bodykit and some rims to complement it

That is officially the ugliest 8 I've ever seen in my life. Why in God's name would you ever add a wing like that to a stock car?

guys, be nice. you don't have to like it as long as he does.

SlowLude
05-18-2006, 01:00 PM
This car needs some serious body work. The back is way too heavy. 1st thing to do is to get a body kit followed by some CLEAR CORNERS followed by some rimssss and it should look half decent.

Would like to see the rest of your body kit to see how it balances out.

Good luck...

it needs the widebody kit, the 3 rotor motor, full suspension, racing slick tires, a roll cage and a good driver, then it would look like it belonged back there. Not really sure why this would be the first mod, but hey, it's your car.

But if it had all that, they'd use a real wing not some ebay special.

Make it look like this, or something similar. Just complete the look. Do what you feel like doing because almost all of the 8s I've seen in magazines had wings. RE Amemiya, JIC, shaw in Import Tuner, that carbon fiber one in PAS, FEED, etc. It's your car so do your thing.

Your car just looks incomplete right now. If people think it's rice, add chicken and beer ie just complete the look.

Whoaa thats a big wing on a completely stock 8...

I'm sure it will look somewhat more balanced when you get the body kit put on though.

What body kit are you putting on?

Normally, when I don't like a mod, I will say to his or her own. But, this mod sucks so much that I can't even bring myself to say that.

Please, take it off. You are embaressing my 8 all the way out here in GA with that thing on.

1. Slam it to the ground
2. put a kit on it or at least an OEM aero package
If you do at least these 2 things then maybe it will look ok. The spoiler is just not flowing with your car. Post some pics once you get step 1 and 2 complete.

Agree on the body kit, the wing isn't the liking of most people but even more so as it just over powers the looks of the car without any other kit on it.

I agree, except an OEM kit is not enough to match that wing. He's going to need to get a VERY AGRESSIVE kit if he wants it to match.

This thread is a good example of why i didn't post pics of my wheels for a month, until i had the body kit put on.
19" Bling Rims + OEM Appearance Package = :puke:
Same as, Gigantic Spoiler + Stock RX-8 = :puke:

I hate to jump in and flame a fellow 8 owner, but by adding that wing to your BONE stock car... you just assed it all up man.

What if any performance incrase does it offer? None so we are going to assume you did this for looks. If you like it thats all that really matters, but thats just "too fast and too furious" for me. haha

When I saw the pics of your car, or cars similar with all that crap bolted to them, it reminds me of some little 7 year old kid that never gets enough attention and is always running around screaming "look at me!!! look at mee!!!!"

Simplicity and Subtlety are Key man.. ditch the wing and go for something less obnoxious.
