Nup - the orange one is Eric's and the red one is Kall's.

Eric will correct me if I'm wrong but the custom fender (we call them guards) treatment on his car is a fender vent taken from a Holden SS Commodore. You'll note he's also modified the standard RX8 vent.

I did notice, and nicely done. What if you took the stock vent out and added another Holden vent below the first one.
Photoshop anyone? Gomez?


Eric, you need a Hymee exhaust. Those stock pipes just look to small.

Just to give you an idea RP, here's what the vent looks like on the Holden:

they have different number plates. one is from Sydney and the other on is in Melbourne.
Kalli have a VR with eyelids and streaks and i have a RJ (good old Timbo named it Royal Jaffa a while back).
here is a side pic showing the "Jaffa" bit

Dave's correct, its the guard vent from GM Holden here in Oz.
Saw their commercial ad on TV one day while the car was stripped, picked up the phone the next day and placed an order with Paul (forum member, working at a Holden dealership ).

you werent the first to say that, but tell you the truth, im OVER all these noisy exhaust sound. i really enjoy the quietness of the exhaust in the 8.....
i will be just changing the actual exhaust tips, so it doesnt look like a pea shooter

Oh man, that would be a sure way to stop me driving my wife's car. Her collection of crap on her key ring is bad enough - those tips would push me over the edge.
