Picture of my rides. after 3 weeks with small mods
After 3 weeks with my brand new 2008 rx8 6MT, I finally have chance to post up pictures after small mods.
Right after came back from dealer. http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/q...w/DSC00630.jpg After Caliper paint with Fender Strakes (SATIN CHROME) http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/q...w/DSC00635.jpg My RX8 with my CBR600RR http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/q...w/DSC00645.jpg |

now you just need to add a drop to it and it'll be sweet! |

Clears and tints you'll be set
|
lookin good +1 on tint and drop. its so worth it. :yesnod:
|
Nice. Clear corners now. :)
|
looks like your strakes arent level
|
Your strakes are all kinds of F'ed up man...They are not supposed to be at an angle lik that...
|
the red calipers and front splash guards look good but as mentioned, your strakes need a little attention.
any plans for further mods? I'd recommend getting screens to protect the AC condenser and Oil Coolers. Racing Beat sells a complete kit but I'm not sure what the cost would be to ship it up North. Also, the AFE (axial flow engineering) Short Shifter is an amazing upgrade. |
What method did you use to paint the calipers?
|
I thought the same things about the strakes...but I didn't know if it was just my eyes. Glad to see that my eyes are fine.
|
really? maybe just the shotting angle? I got it from rx8strakes and it has not just 1 screw hole, but also a pin sticking out with instruction on exactly where to put the strake on.
Does this look better or is it really off? http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/q...DSC00643-1.jpg |

No its not the shooting angle of your car...Your strakes are crooked!
|
lol they should be horizontal with the rest of the car
|
|
|
However, it is a personal preference thing. Some people have it the way you have it. Others have it flat. Some people have 3 strakes while other have just 1. Play around with the angle when you adjust it and just put them where you like it. :)
|
Remind me not to have you over to hang any pictures...
Those strakes are creating downforce. Car looks really nice. Congrats! |

I am not sure if I will have problem taking the double sided tape out, but I will try. hopefully not to scratch my paint. :p But if it's too difficult to take them out, I might just leave it like that. :banghead: |
Gorgeous ride.
|
^ thank you. :)
|
Using a hair dryer and heating up the tape makes it come off easier from what I hear on here.
|
A heat gun is way better. i got one from home depot for like 20 bucks. its worth it, everything is much easier with that.. even taking tint off!
|
I guess I will then have to use new double sided tape for it then...
It's more difficult to take it out then put it on. :( |
