Taka Photo Tip Number ONE
Dont take photos of cherry blossom velocity red RX8's
Yuck
I think you may need to detox the CCD's after that car
I recommend plenty of cruise photo's

p.s. I love the modded car just not the totally rice stickers
They do come off with a heat gun don't they?
Myself would rather see bikini clad model draped over/in car for decoration.

Nice job on the phots Taka...i think the blossom is a bit overthe top but very tidy all in all.

What are the wheels? Same on both /different colour??

Both cars a little to OTT for me as a daily driver but great to see people having fun with their cars. The cherry blossoms are an interesting take on the old hot rod flames look but I would choose something a little tougher if I was gonna do a custom paint job - maybe ninja throwing stars or something cascading down the sides.

And Elite, I'd want a helluva lot more than 111kw at the rear wheels if I was fitting that huge wing (read: air brake)! :p

the flowers(SAKURA) are suppose to mimic the original veilside rx-8 in the tokyo autosalon.
nicely modded on both cars elite, btw i think you should get another bride seat for the passenger side too, looks weird with only one. and i noticed the fitting of the front bar of the RE kit is not aligned properly with the hood... can it be fixed?
and what gauges did u use in the red 8???

also i saw u taka taking the pics of the 8s, good job

Don't like the blossom or the ricey add ons, but if I was a P plater and could afford ( or was given) the car I wouldn't say no.

By the way, what's a bride seat?

the bumper is like that. can't not do anything. already try to fix them. even jarpan one looks abit uneven with the bonnet.

the bride won't get one more. just not good for long drive. so no point.

The flower is sticker not paint.

Bride seat is a wannabe recaro :P

All P platers too i hope the cops are not waiting for you outside with your high powered cars LOL :D

Whats with all the Gauges in the red? Are they watches with Time Zones in different countries?

AMG if only we had that luxury of affording a car like the rx8 or lets say our parents actually buying it for us at that age. Not to mention the good amount of money they could supply us to add the rice to the car

Lets see what Ezzy pulls of at this years autosalon, I hope you know Ezzy that i will be spending my 20 dollars just to check out your 8 LOL actually might speak to my mate at Pioneer to see if he can get me some passes.

Regards
Phillip
