Some pics I took of the new look

K so I put Teins on, put on the new Potenza S-03's and changed the trunk lid a bit. How you like it? I love the drop I think it came out perfect, and the car is not bouncy at all, smooth as silk.

Your 8 looks great! My new wheels and tires seem to take a lot more room now so going to have to do a side by side. So what was your total drop?

EXCELLENT - yup - that's a perfect drop - just the springs? or are those coil-overs?

The badges look good.
Are those the S-Techs, or The H series springs?

Very nice.
I may just have to look into some S-Techs for my 8.
Did you install them, or did you have a shop do it?

De-badging rear

I was trying to debadge the rear of my car but it seems like the Mazda nd RX-8 are riveted in. Is this true or is it just tough glue?

you'll need to fill in a few holes and repaint .... I did my trunk myself. not sure what it would be to have someone to do it ....By the way I flew in and rented a car to go up to my sisters in Taos. The town of ABQ is nothing less than spectacular.
