The vents are stupid, track car or not. Not to mention it looks like a 5 year old paint matched it, it's not even close.

Looks like he just took off the outer plastic lens of the taillights of an S2, that way it will sit flush and not pop out as much on an S1. Not a bad look imo. But def looks ugly in that color. :/

Sorry, I haven't posted for a very long time. Since I don't have my RX-8 anymore I rarely come here. I do miss my RX-8 very much. I came here cause I knew it was that time of the year in Japan....Tokyo Auto Salon!

Here's a few I found....











Until next time.

I want to see more pics of this. Looks like RE updated their widebody kit for the S2. It is less gaudy then before. I want to see pics of the hood too.

I just checked Odula's site and they do not have any S2 bumpers listed. I was thinking it was RE's because the way they do the wide body up front is similar. Now I'm really curious who makes this kit

After going to TAS 2012 this year... These pictures do NOT give the cars justice at all. Never again. I took a boat load of pictures, will be posting them up when I get back to the states. When I say " GO TO TAS.." I mean it folks. It is a once in a life time experience that you will NOT get anywhere else.

If anyone wants to see more of TAS goodness, here's all the pictures I took at the event and tons more pictures of other places I got to check out, like Power House Amuse. Feel free to post your favorites up here if you'd like to share with everyone else.
