:Drooling_ Damn now I got the mod bug again. Damn you! Damn you all!!! Hawt pics you guys!!!! Keep up the great work.

wooow

your 8's really looking good ngorx8

love that autobahn front...but what kit is that in the rear?

looks sick

I like it alot. Great job on taking the pic. Usually I find myself struggling to see the lines of the kit on a black car.

Saw your ride at the LAX meet but i'll say here too. Looks great!

Looking good bro :)

representin the BBs!

Damn, that's a hot car! Black makes the 8 look so mean!!

Damn, that's a hot car! Black makes the 8 look so mean!!
YET SO HARD TO KEEP CLEAN!, wow i just made up a rhyme.. :ylsuper:

very nice i like that rear end as well, that autoban? kit is growing on me fast. got a better of the rear and also what the real rear autoban looks like?

rear is kenstyle, front and sides are autobahn :)

VERY nice! I'm wondering what rear that is as well.

im loving it
nice ride man


so sick
whats next

Danny, great pictures for a beautiful car. I'm SO jealous of those rims...!!

Hey NGO, I saw you saterday around 3 going down from Fulerton rd. to habor passing Whitter bd. I was in my girlfriends element. I asked to pull over so you could pass us and then catch up so I could check out your 8. Dude these pitures don't do it justice. Everyone should see it LIVE! Great job Man. I see we both have the volk challenges!!! You give that much fever to get on with my mods. Dude thats one of the nicest bumbers I've seen. I realy like the red rotay shape tail light. Looks sleek!!

Hey Ngo That was the time of when that car accident happpened when you were stopped at that light before staterbrothers. That was when I got back on the road to check out that mean machine of yours.

Thanks everyone!!! I try :)

Yup, Front + Side is Au-to Bahn and Rear is Kenstyle.

I woulda posted up pics yesterday, but i couldn't get any that well to show the black. Took this soon after sunrise, not professional or anything, but at least you can see it all. Taking pics of the front is the hardest because it flattens and is covered in shadow.

Oh Yea, Sheba, i remember that thing happened right in front of me. lol. I was heading out to superautobacs. Definitely woulda pulled over if you were able to call me.

im scared...

I like the body kit!! Where can i get one??

yea danny, let everyone know where they can get it!! hahaha

you can't get it, its a one off me and ngo made.. haha
lol

kenstyle rear bumper?

http://www.bulletproofautomotive.com/catalog-detail.php?ID=3949

damn thats pricey....

its not cheap to be a jdm gangsta..

^^^ No Danny's more of a jdm whore.

wow that looks really clean

kenstyle's rear bumper is really nice.. too bad their front bumper makes the car look like a dodge stratus/intrepid

thats why he just has the rear..haha

kenstyle's rear bumper is really nice.. too bad their front bumper makes the car look like a dodge stratus/intrepid

I thought the Kenstyle front looks more like a modified Viper bumper. Confirms it was Dodgish look.

I still like it. ;)

Nice looking car NGO!

very nice setup ngorx8.

thats why he just has the rear..hahaWell, his front bumper is hawt anyway. That's the bumper I personally want.
I'm also waiting to see the new mazdaspeed bumper, but from what i've seen, if it makes production the way the pre production pics look, i'll need new fenders too and I'm not willing to spend that kind of cash.

thats nice, very clean

sweet 8

<3 autobahn

haha, thanks all. :)

yes... i don't like the kenstyle front either. lol.

I'm no JDM whore. I just have a JDM mixed kit. :rofl:
It's an expensive name. hahaha

kenstyle rear actually completes the autobahn front and sides. The front looks like a modena the rear also kinda looks like a modena. Nice kit combination, I've thought of that combo when I saw the kit pics of the kenstyle rear, but at the time I already got the ms rear, so o wells lols. GJ danny!

GJ danny!If I had the cash to blow (and I don't because I'm buying a house), I'd go full autobahn kit with their rear and 4 pipe exhaust. No matter how much horsepower that thing does or doesn't get, it looks sick. It's just $1200 for an exhaust is a lot! (well, wasnt that the titanium, no idea anymore)...

Hehe, the more practical side took over aye? I don't know I don't really think the autobahn rear looks that good, nor the quad tips. I really like the rmagic rear though. I think that or the varis rear would look good with this kit.

yea, i don't like the au-to bahn rear, which is why i didn't order the whole kit when i did. the version II rears look better than the full rear bumper. I also never thought i'd want quad tip either. but after having the kenstyle rear for a while... iono. haha. something just seems to be missing back there. but to shell out 1200 for the exhaust is insane.

some nice chevy bow tie tips would fill up that space perfectly!

lolz, btw what version II bumper are you talking about?

au-to bahn has two versions for the rear. version I is the full rear bumper that we all know. version II is similar to the ings rear (two types for version II- one for quad, one for dual exhaust).

thats the first I've heard of it. But anyways nice car ngo!

I think that look is awesome on Chevy trucks. Nothing better than an American truck with lots of torque and durability.

Amazing looking car NGO. Nice rear bumper.

Your car looks great! VERY tastefully done. I'm sure it looks even better in person.

thanks :)

no way am i putting chevy tips. lol remember rotary rasp suggested i get the current TL exhaust. haha

NGO IS MY HERO! haha

taht looks clean as hell...LOVE that rear bumper... *wipes drool off of face*

so what kind of kit is that?

looks a lot like a 360 modena front end..

thanks :)

no way am i putting chevy tips. lol remember rotary rasp suggested i get the current TL exhaust. haha
some white dudes better stick with their chevy's and volkswagons..hahaha

some white dudes better stick with their chevy's and volkswagons..hahaha

No kiddin' that would be blasphemy to add chevy tips go Ford. :rofl:

JUST KIDDING!

Wouldn't rotary shaped tips be nice?

i think they would be nice if done right, like abel ibbara and his side exit rotary shaped exhaust tips...thats badass!

ahahahha. i can't imagine how those would look on my car....funky.

ok no more talkin about exhaust tips..haha

haha. you made my thread kinda off topic...

:spank:

Great looking car. Is it mazdaspeed suspension you have on? how do you find them ie ride, handling and overall lowering?
Congrats on your ride

Regards
Rexi

sorry, just read your stats. The tein s lowering looks great!!!

Regards
Rexi :)

this is a really hot car. i love it

Okay, you got me. Im just a sucker for black!!!

Hay Ngo, saw your ride at Fullerton road and Pathfinder this morning. Was in the wife's Blue CX-7. That the nicest looking 8 Iv'e seen. Congrat's

Thanks Zoom. AHHH. that was you? i was pointing out your car to my mom. trying to persuade her to get it. lol

Looks really nice

ok, time to bump this thread back with some better pics. i realized that my pics at the beginning of this thread were horrible. haha...

nice pix danny! i can see your shoes in the reflection! lol

That is one sleak ride.... how do you keep it so shiny?

he uses a special blend of meguiars and skeet.

HOLY SHIT. Is that just Zaino? Or Meguiars like DD said?

If that's Meguairs, I'd definitely consider switching to that. That has perfect depth. I don't think Zaino can give that much depth, at least on red paint.

he uses a special blend of meguiars and skeet.
skeet i would have never thought.... :rollingla

:bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

hawwwwwt

Shiny goodness!

that wax job is Jedi Approved!!! Nicely done, GREAT pics. (even laughed when I saw the sneakers...)

how you debage without any holes on mazda emblem side?

He had a body shop fill and paint. ;)

thanks guys. yup its 3 layers of meguiar's nxt... no skeet. deedubb uses that on his car. haha

haha actually did a full detail about 3 days before taking the pics using all meguiar's products. i forgot to layer my p21s on it to give it more depth. maybe ill do that in a few months.

here are a few more shots. thanks scsi for edting. last one shows my front clearance. lol

Day'em. How do you not scratch/scuff that lip up? It's what? 2" from the ground? Do you use that car as a daily driver?

I love that bumper! Knowing me, in a week--I'd grind that lip up all to hell. :scared:

P.S. Are you lowered? If so, by how much?

Wow that is a great shot with the key fob!

Gives a sense of dimension.

All my friends drive low ri...der... :cool:

dig it. But Gawddam - rho dylin roads would tear that lip to shreds.

NICE PICS DANNY!!! :icon_tup:

wow, love your car man. REAL nice!

last one shows my front clearance. lol
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v321/dadamnngo/linked/4ngo.jpg

:Eyecrazy:

That bumper would not last on Ohio roads with that kinda clearance!

Looks hot!

That's an illusion. There's alot more room than the picture reveals.

thanks for the comment guys!

the au-to bahn bumper is lower than other aftermarket bumpers for our car. it is lower but doesn't stick out as far as some of the fronts with aggressive bottom lips. the design doesn't make it look like that, cuz most of the time people do not look low enough to see that it angles inward at the bottom.

i have about a 3 inch clearance. measure the length of the key fob + add 1/2 an inch or so for the bottom ring and that does infact make it 3 inches. its easily manageable after i got use to it... might probably go lower one day when the car isn't my daily driver.

here's another measurement pic. fyi i'm not a big person. :rofl:

i dont know................. when i saw it , you couldnt even roll a tennis ball under that car

why do you have 2 of the same posts danny?

why do you have 2 of the same posts danny?
Maybe he just wants to have the last word

wtf? oops. ok deleted. haahah. damn now i lose one post count.

noob mistake during editing...

nice sig mahuna!! i can see my car too!!

damn now i lose one post count.


but you made it back up with this one

which one?

haha, the post i made about making the mistake... yes i did. good lookin out!

maybe i shoulda started a new thread. posting the pics in the middle of my old thread gets them buried and lost quick. lol

i know..i just wanted another post..hahaa

your car looks great Ngo, the au-to bahn front is the one I am trying to save pennies for. But after seeing your clearance in the front, I may have to reconsider. I only have about 4 inches of clearance, with the stock nose with no appearance package. I may be on the ground with that nose.

Anyway, looks really good, my favorite BB I have seen around here.

thanks l8apex! :)

wax job looks good i think i will switch to mcquires for ease, price and finish! nice pics as well.

Yes it looks good, and it has a black hood.

Ngo, I have a question, one I have meant to ask someone with an aftermarket nose several times.

What happens to the front undertray when you add a new nose to the car? The undertray secures to the stock nose, I was wondering what happens with an aftermarket one. Where does that undertray attach to, since I am sure it gets kept? Any info would be much appreciated, TIA.

-L8

thanks guys. and yes i like the black hood. :)

sometimes there might be holes at the bottom of the bumper which would be screwed to the undertray. other times the undertray will simply be left alone and will rest on top of the bottom part of the bumper (usually arched so undertray doesn't sag down). either way is fine as nothing will come loose.

damn thats one sexy car....best word that comes to my mind is fluid....

That's the most blatant hijack, i've ever seen!

ok guys... thing is, i traded my car in today and got a titanium gray. :)

VERY, VERY CLEAN! Nicely done.

Nice!

All of them look good. :cool:

wing, when did you get a 2 inch lift kit installed? haha j/k

dang Ngo your car looks mean :) nice pics btw

wing, when did you get a 2 inch lift kit installed? haha j/k
OUCH! that's hitting below the belt... :balls: Deduct 1 point from the scorecard

haha, wing5 takes some pretty good pics of my car. thanks :)

next time, imma need you to snap some day time pics. lol

that pic of the rear bumper at the lax meet is my favorite pic of my kenstyle rear.

NICE!!! That is a sweet 8...good job, thanks for sharing!

i wonder if a great quality replica ken style rear in carbon fiber can be made! hahahahah j/k

lol, never!!!!

[Thread hijack]
wing, when did you get a 2 inch lift kit installed? haha j/k
lol seriously X.x I really want to drop it but I also really like not having to worry about bottoming out anywhere =/

you've seen how low my car is, I don't worry baout bottoming out too much. But if you have a body kit like danny's then that would be a problem.

yea, if you do a drop like bryan, all you have to do is take a little angle out of some steeper places. most of the time its like driving regular. nothing compared to what i have to do. i annoy people behind me with my full on angling. haha.

danny's next mod is air ride suspension..so he can raise up and drop it like its hot on the fly! hahaha

THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN SAVING UP FOR!!! it's guna be koo, watch.

yea forget the hipermax coilovers! hahaha no but seriously man, whats next?

i don't know. not sure on what i want to spend it on right now. if anything i'll tell you in person rather than on here. haha.

Jedi already knows....

Great looking cars, as always. What height r u at Danny? Looks perfect.


If I had my camera I'd go out & take some pics of my salt/sand/randomRoadGrub covered 8 and post it here. It's horrible. Show y'all what ur missing with the constant boring supply of nice weather out there.
:hahano:

thanks dmc. i believe i am at a 1.8" front and 1.5" rear drop. not exactly sure on the rear drop because i have adjusted it so many times.

time to move to cali? haha. it's not completely boring. sunny or cloudy and then it rains on the weekends. haha

I dunno, then I'd have no excuse to have a dirty car. I'd live in constant shame.

Wow beautiful!

these are pics taking in ngorx's garage.

haha, i love these wheels! :)

The rims look great!! Are you sure it was in a garage? It looks more like you drove into a shoe store... :uhh: ;)

thanks :)

i told him the shoes would mess up the picture. but no those aren't all mine. lol. i only have 2 pairs. it's a messy garage. :p:

The messy shoe rack in the garage is an asian thing.

I love that front bumper...

Sick Car.

yah, it really is an asian thing... otherwise we'd keep our shoes on inside the house. lol.

thanks H0ssis

Ngo: ever thought about putting the fogs back on?

not the stock fogs. lol. if i ever put fogs back on, they will have to be HID w/ projectors.

Fogs gathering dust in the garage, next to the shoes, maybe? Any interest in parting w/them?

i like this picture better
