When you take another batch of pictures, I'd also really like to see a better shot of your front fenders from just above and behind the wheel-well, like from standing next to the doors. I'd like to see those fender vents from a slightly difference perspective.

That thing is wild.

 

Definitely unique and probably fun as all hell to drive an 8 that light - even before you Turbo it. I agree with whoever labeled it as a little 'patchy' especially having the door color different than the f/r panels around it. Also a little curious why you have different wheels (or at least offsets) on the front & back. Contributes a little to the dischordant/patchy look.

Lookin' forward to seeing the 12x pics so we can really see the paint. Might reduce that patchy look when it's clearer.

And great job.

 

I appreciate the work and investment but the end product is hideous. But to me any 8 with teh veilside kit is gross. Not that my opinion matters but I'll give it anyways.

 

had been waiting to see pics of this car, its for sure a head turner and props on the custom work. thats a lot of cash to be dropping on your car...o how i wish i was rich and had money not having huge debt from still being in college

 

Nice ride and hey as long as it is an 8 and you like it thats all that matters

 

Thats the point!!

Well the rims/tyres are different first becaure the rear fenders are huge,second cause its a rear wheel drive car and third cause it had a huge difference in the road in the corners...I love it..The car goes like it is on rails...Offcourse i ve changed everything in the suspension territory too but the tyres helped too

 

Fast and Furious material.

 

definitely.

I appreciate all the work done on this car. it is one of the craziest setups here. not something I would do myself, but damn man, good job.

 

I love it!!!!!!!! If you have money to burn, just burn it!! If you have money to wipe your booty with it, wipe it clean!!!

But if you don't have any??.......well just stay quiet......don't judge the guy on how he spends his money..period!

 

^ +1

 

I like the 2007 version a lot better, but 08 is pretty sick too. Have you ever thought of changing the front and rear bumper to something else?

 

Beautiful work man!!

 

well said.

GrRx8MaZdA, the effort and dedication to this car is absolutely amazing. It's great to have people on here with this type of vision and who aren't afraid to do things differently.

bravo,

Jedi

 

Mad props to whomever was dedicated enough to do all of the carbon work. Im not really feeling the color combo or the design...but as long as you're happy it is all that matters.

I wonder what you think the actual weight of your audio system is in the rear. I know that I just pulled an audio system out of another car and it was easily 200 lbs. I would also assume that you pulled more than 200 lbs out of the car by going to carbon fiber...but if the point was to loose the fat why would you include the extra weight?

 

Great job Chris.Car looks amazing.
Θέλω βόλτα οπωσδήποτε!!!!!!!!

 

I'd be curious to know how those subs sound in those boxes, how thick is the material for example, what kind of wattage are you running, did you ditch the oem radio or? I'd like to know more details on your sound system if you have any

 

Amazing car...

Dude if you ever re-do that in like... a venom green you should send me pictures... because it would pretty much replace all the **** in my collection.

Still though great job.
Beautiful Car.
'nuff said.
(Whoever put that movie up is an evil man who likes killing the souls of other 8 owners)

 

Thanks you all for the comments and support..My friends cant understand how can i have so much patience left..I just cant do without it..When i drive it i forget everything...

Well the sub boxes weighted easily around 60-70kg thats around 140-160lbs..Now i hold them and i estimate to weigh around 3kg all together thats around 7lb!!! And the sound is awesome cause carbon is very strong material but its elastic too...

A huge saving was from the doors,the new bumpers-we didnt use the white black bumpers-the new fenders front and rear and the carbon seats i m waiting...

 

Great car,,, I can really appreciate the time and patience you must have on this project. I think that some are undoubtedly going to be on the more critical side and I think it may stem possible from the extreme styling of the kit, I think that some of the crtics may have less to say if it was a more subtle kit like say something along the lines of the SpeedSource Mazdaspeed RX8. So of course people are going to have different taste on the exterior style... all said Ive been looking to do a Carbon roof panel such as yours and, alot like the new M3 and older CSL, and thought it might be too much effort with the moonroof opening but clearly you werent intimidated at all... So I assume you have access to the molds of your panels,,, I am interested in seeing closeup pics of the roof seams,
and if you ever want to make some of your money back I am extremely interested in purchasing a Carbon roof panel from you or your shop... If this is doable please PM me with a qoute or estimate....

 

I don't like it. But if you like it, power to you. Good luck with it.

 

urgh, it looks like pieces from two different cars, i liekd the past two iterations better

 

Your speakers way more than 7lbs. You did save a ton of weight with the carbon enclosure...but you still added significant weight in the rear past the rear axle. Given your guess as to weight of the enclosure you are still looking at like 100 lbs or so in audio equipment.

 

I'm not a fan. It looks like someone put out a suggestion box for 'what to do next' and you used every suggestion.

 

Not a fan of the mulicolors....would look awesome black. Too flamboyant for my taste, but props for doing something while others simply talk.

 

finally you post the pics bro great works with all that you have done,really amaze me and nice center exhaust you got there,remind me of RE Amemiya just wonder what colour is your 8? is it the same orange as your center pod? can't wait to see the interior
