'06 Shinka with chrome 20" TSW Nogaro
This is a very well done car IMHO, and that's coming from someone who really does NOT like body kits or big wheels (I'm an old fashioned sports car guy). I'm really pleased that you have the performance inside to back up the aggressive hood and wing, though the wing is a little too exaggerated. +1 on the exhaust tips or maybe just shine those up more, and I would get rid of the chrome gas door--it just doesn't work on the RX-8. I love the grilles on the hood BTW. I know it's a show car, so does that mean that you don't do performance runs? Would the body kit really help on the track or is it mostly for show?

I know this post hasn't been responded to in a while, but I came across the pics in some Google searches ironically... I absolutely love what you've done with your Shinka. I'm doing a lot of similar things and I think your wing looks very similar to the Seibon AE CF wing that I just ordered. I'm hoping mine looks as good as yours does. It looks aggressive without looking ricey imo. Great job on the car!

Here's a UK based black 8 with the Nogaros on, in 19inch, wearing 265 rears and 245 up front.
Its supercharged as well, with a Pettit Supercharger, so obviously Nogaros are reserved for FI cars!
Its not had the suspension done on it yet, so sits a little high for the right look I reckon....

Did you ever find the manufacturer of your wing? Honestly Thats the one I want for mine, and I cant find it listed anywhere. Mine will be with a Vertex kit which will be here next Friday weather permitting.
Edit! I think I found it!

That wing actually looks very similar to the AutoExe wing or the Seibon replica that I have. The pictures aren't great of the wing because they are at weird angles but here is a picture thread of my car with the Seibon on it. It doesn't have quite the same length on the downcurved ends of the spoiler.
