Hot Import Daze/Nights

Went to AC today to check out the blig blig cars. There were a few nice 8's there, but they weren't all tricked out. It seems that if you didn't have a bunch of tv monitors, you weren't cool. Nowadays, if you only have 2 monitors, just give up. One vette had a monitor where the front plate should be. A few were in the hood looking out. A few with 3 monitors on each door not to mention all over the dash. How much $$$$ can 1 person spend on crap. Sorry, but I just don't get it. I just like my 8 and enjoy DRIVING it. The girls were a nice diversion. Or were the girls the highlight and the cars a mere diversion?

if it wasn't for catching 2 t-shirts they threw out, eating a really good steak at Applebee's, and winning $10 at a casino, it would have been a total waste... i doubt I'll even go to another HIN


The one 8 against the wall had a really nice aluminum center console though... i liked it

Yellow was me dude .... Titanium was the guy infront of me (totally stripped interior with nitrous) ... and the green was the bling bling kid with chrome rims ...


Of course there was a silver too .. it was AAS's ... he got stuck in the corner though for some reason, thought he woulda been in the AAS booth.

thanks man , post some pics up for me .. people be thinking my car is bullshit lol... been waiting for car and model.com to come out with pics to get some people off my back ...


Oh ya .. I forgot to say ... Theres no way in hell any one on this whole site would have won anything ... God damn every car was nice there! they were overbooked too.... All the cars that won had atleast 20-30 grand spent on the car (not including the car itself) .... There were no ricers or crappy cars at this show ... pretty damn amazing ... even the judges themselves said it was the best show they ever had ....

Oh ya .. and the only mazda that won was one of the FD's (I have no idea which one) , which won best mazda

Hmmmz .. mite be the grey or half green silvery one .... theere were alot of nice FD's ... I stayed after for the awards ... it was ruled by domestic cars ... that corvette with the chromed out engine and 100 tv's and of course lambo doors stole the show ....

I think the FD that won was the one in the booth... that thing was pretty crazy.

That silver with the stripped interior was me. Sorry I didnt get a chance to talk to you. But im sure you were just as busy as me cleaning the car.

I guess I got it ready for nothing really now that i think about it. While the judge was looking over my car my alarm went off and I was disqualified. (Forgot to disconnect the battery)

nice car ninedeep, what u running on 1/4's ? Your car looks hot by the way , loving the wing. I think I got disqualified too , anyone with the orange sticker got disqualified i'm pretty sure , didn't have time to finish all the mods I listed on the paper, didn't have my tein coil overs in , project mu brake pads and some other stuff , they noticed and DQ'ed me, I even put it on poster the current mods I had, but guess like they don't care. So thats 2 8's that got DQ'ed .... maybe they don't like 8's

Because project MU is one of the best...and they were given to me for the SEMA IAS show back in may.

BTW: The orange sticker does not mean you got disqualified. It means that a judge has already been around to look at your car.

Wink Pics & Video From HIN @ Atlantic City

I shot three hours of video at the HIN show with a digital camcorder, and will convert a lot of it to still images within the next few weeks. Most of those images will ultimately get onto either the Mazda Club (www.MSCW.com) or Rotary Revolution, LLC (www.rotaryrevolution.net) websites.

I edited a very short (and relatively tame) 8-minute version for the November 3rd MSCW meeting, as (1) the meeting agenda is pretty full with guest speakers and other issues already planned for the night, and (2) didn't think some of the members were quite ready for the full effect of HIN just yet. We'll break them in slowly!

The eyelids are made by EVOR. They have been on my car since June and they still look as good as the day they were put on. A very nice product!

Watch out dude, evo-r products are rice ... they don't really fit most of the time ... do a serach ... their B-pillars suck ballz (they sell both on ebay all the time ..)

Better off with carbonfiber vinyl (or carbon fiber with 3m) and trim it yourself with the DIY in the DIY section like what I did


Preacher

The fit on these is HORRIBLE and I am pissed.

If I hadn't paid by Pay Pal I'd deny the charge.

For $100 USD they should fit like OEM,there's 4mm sticking out off of my door.

Now I'm out $100 and have to peel this **** off of my car
