Cant get over that rear bumper and wing. ughhh.
I took that OEM bumper bracket off to put onto my mint blue bumper. Strangely the BN Sports bumper comes with it already molded to the bumper, which makes me nervous about breaking it all when driving.

Did a bit of arch rolling yesterday on a R32 GTST so gave the RX8 some fresh air.


Ground down the engine bay so nearly ready for filler.

Hey, I'm glad i followed your thread. i need some advice on body work...

Some jackass decided i was good target practice last night. I figured because im starting from scrap I'd go for gold. Any advice on what i should do as far as the car goes? I really like the wing on the deck lid. could you help me out with learning how you did it? Motors i understand.. Paint primer and gaps not so much.

Very nice build. I like the fact you did it right the first time so you would not have to redo it later.
