The rims i dont remember, it was 2 years ago, i have to look for the paper. My tires are 225/35/20-9 in width all around. Nitto Neo Gens tires are made like that for lowered cars. The walls are somewhat tapered.

zumn..what's the width of your wheels? 20X ?
I have no fkucing idea...2 years ago when i got them mounted. I have to look for my ownership paperwork. Nitto Neo Gens tires are made like that for lowered cars. The walls are somewhat tapered.

sorry im not a photography major, and the sun was in the last hour before sunset, and this was on my old 6 megapixel cameral, my SONY CYBERSHOT 12.1 MEgapix is acting gay lately.

i know, its because i need side skirts to connect my lip and my front.

but wow, stock exhaust with all that work?

odd.

and i am being kind. i hate stretched tires. much less 20" wheels...

beers
The V1 rear lip is known to melt with some aftermarket exhausts, however im in the middle of talking with my autobody guy to see if theres any kind of Heat resistant paint he can spray in that area or what we can do? Im still getting a racepipe and aftermarket exhaust. Nitto Neo Gens tires are made like that for lowered cars. The walls are somewhat tapered.

nice car zumn. and i really do mean it. it looks good.

you really should throw an exhaust on there though. even more than you need side skirts. which you do btw.
Yeah i know for an ABFLUG front i think i did better than that gray RX8 one floating around, thanks, i know, I think im just gonna get a racepipe and aftermarket tips like 4-5 inch, because the whole thing about the V1 rear lip melting with some exhausts.....Im gonna ask veilside about it and how i mentioned above ^^^im also talking to my autobody guy about what can be done.

Yeah a lot of people dont like the ABFLUG, however how i mentioned about ^^it was temporary due to my crash. I am going all V1 Veilside. I had to keep it Debagged, i have the MazdaEmblem on my front windshield with Jap Mazda right under.

Only my 2 cents ................................
Nobody likes the ABFLUG front, in a way even me. Theres no flow because i have no side skirts. THANKS.

no no. i wasn't picking on you for it, i just thought that the lighting took away from the curves and color of the car. does your camera have any settings besides auto? bringing the exposure down a couple stops will change the image drastically.

what cybershot model is it? (it should say at the top) i can help you out with the settings if you give me a little info.

according to some review pages, these are the settings your camera has:

Beach, High Sensitivity (ISO3200), Extra High Sensitivity(ISO6400), Fireworks, Landscape, Snow, Soft Snap, Twilight, Twilight Portrait

since your car is blue, you can get away with using a Landscape mode (which actually picks up the greens and blues of a scene). it also said your camera has a programming mode (manual...as manual as a point and shoot can get). i'd try using that mode and get to the exposure controls and bring it to the negative side a bit.

or you could try shooting in all the modes and see what gives you the richest colors

Ha, ha, ha, now you are starting to type like me!!! Is it wearing off on you? LOL. Yeah i know, i know, i know, i need side skirts!!! Im thinking of just going Veilside all the way, and then go with the paint scheme that CHRISM had on his RED VR he had to get rid of. Any ideas for side skirts? I wouldnt like to mis-match my body kit but if it looks good, why not.

I have always used Manual mode i hate AUTO doesnt let you change a lot of the default settings, Landscape does that? Thats crazy. Ill check it out. And if anything i might have to go to a K1 meet or OC meet around U, so u can show me what the ****, lol.

i just cant bring myself to like anything about your car. the front is too busy, the rear is too busy, the rims are too bling, the sides arent busy enough. i just dont like it man. im glad youre starting to type normally, though. i give you major points for that.
