BTW if anyone is thinking of getting those Recaro seats be prepared to have $2,000 bucks in your pocket.
The seats (in cloth) start at $1,400 and $200 for the mounting kit...and they work there way up from there....

What the **** you are talking about?
No one have got the part to fit in yet and it look the same to me.
The picture the guys show is in different angle. Come to worse I will change the rear too!

You can make our current tail lights into leds if you really want also. (assuming there is no direct fit from series 2 to 1)
I know the Astinas, the BJ model (which is the 1 my mum has), series I (which we have) has the normal tail lights and series II had the altezza style look. I tried to get those for our astina but the looms were different between the two series. So it was a no go for me..

Looks good to me but I am not going to go pluck down 50K plus for the minor changes.
Besides there will be a body kit out soon enough to make ours look just like it.

No, the purpose of a bodykit is to increase downforce to increase highspeed stability.

I do not want to. I am happy my 8 just the way she is now.
Just pointing out there will be a bod kit that matches that one of anyone wants to make it look like they have the latest car.

Not really ... Polyurethane and Fibreglass still do the job fine. The difference between them would be more to do with robustness more than anything.

Interior minus the steering wheel I like.
Externally I'm not sold - the front is not too bad, the rear especially the tail lights I do not like.
Maybe in the flesh it will be better ?
