Look like they are made well, but it's gonna be a big "NOPE" from me.

Ray Al 07-15-2013 06:22 PM

Front view...
To each his own...
I'm the one driving it! :)

I think they look nice - but they really beg for a splitter or center section of a lip to complete the look. Where did you pick them up?

If this is the preview, what is the real show gonna be?

Agree, they look incomplete.

the eyelids need to go. They were not properly fitted at all......or painted

EmperorBen 07-15-2013 09:33 PM

Does not flow with lines of the car. Dont like.

You asked for opinions. And like you said youre the one driving it lol

Is that the ebay replica or authentic Re-amemiya?
Probably ebay. :P

Im not a big fan, but maybe if they were molded into the bumper it would look better.

Junkman 6394226 07-18-2013 11:31 PM

Nice! But I would personally fab a splitter to go along with it. Where'd you get 'em?

I agree with this 100%. Though honestly, i love the way it looks in a direct front view.

Here's the list of mods done this summer...
Electric Blue accent trims, brake calipers & lug nuts
Veil G4 Stealth lights front & rear
Plasti-Dip oem wheels + reflective paint, electric blue Mazda emblem on center caps
Carbon fiber canards & eyelids

Daily driver from march to november with 20 000km since remaned installed free of any charges by Mazda Canada last summer...

Love the ride!

I personally like it. It goes very well with the color of the car and its not something that stands out and makes it look like a rice upgrade.

paimon.soror 08-26-2013 08:34 PM

much better than initial pics.

Ray Al 09-01-2013 07:36 AM

Thank you! :)

The Canards & Eyelids are well aligned vertically and the carbon glossy finish of both mix pretty good with the mag wheels finish i manages to get from the reflective paint...

My car has a distinct & unique look from all the other series1 8, i think it's closer to the R3 nose this way...

At night though, the wheels light up & its a whole new story! :)

^^^ Awesome idea for the wheel paint!!! But is it legal?

Ray Al 09-01-2013 10:12 PM

I'm not worried about that....they won't reflect much more than chrome wheels... :yesnod:
