those wheels are complete trash.

Those wheels are so shitty that I actually feel bad for the tires that are wrapped around those pieces of ****...Those poor pieces of rubber have to be seen hugging those rolling monstrosities everyday of their existence. A local member should put them out of their misery and shoot out all four of them out of mercy. Pretty much everything that's going on in that fenderwell is a tragedy.

I thought it was a showy boot from a particularly brash police department when I first saw it.

Yes, this is horrible...

Those 16' wheels are ugly and don't look good on the rx8 anyway.

If anyone is thinking about spraying their dash DON'T once you do every time the sun shines all you can see is the reflection of the painted dash. There is a reason every car come with a black dash under the window.

the dash is actually "custom" vinyl i think as are the seats which is splitting and cracking. none of the tires match and the hack job ebay hid kits dont work. the kid says he got a great deal for 10k. at least it has a fire extingusher on the pass side a pillar but i dont think it will be large enough to help. lol

Another prelude bites the dust. Those used to be such nice, sought after cars too. It was one of the few Hondas that set you apart form all the rice. Pretty soon our 8s are gunna start ending up like this.
