After Wash Pics of My 8 and GTI
hi guys, i always wanted to post pics after i washed my car, but it was too dark because i usually do it around midnight.
Anyways, i accidentally got home early and decide to wash my car and share it with all the fellow 8's members...

2/3 Mazdaspeed kit
VOLK TE37 Bronze
Lowered with Tein Flex with EDFC
HKS Legamax
Seibon CF Hood and Trunk
07 GTI daily driven
Stock
5% tint all around
pics were taken by the crappy iphone, hopefully later on i can have my friend take pic with his D-SLR....
Hope you guys enjoy!!!!!

for sure, i almost drive my 8 every time when i hv a date or any important event
but its so annoying to daily drive my 8 since the 8 is kinda low, and i am tired of taking angle to get in plaza and parking lot to avoid scratching my bumper

i love the color scheme on the 8, the cf and white looks sick...id personally get the cf side view mirror covers and id smoke the tail lights...the oem look on the lights stick out so much...but other than that the car looks awsome
the gti is nice aswell, i wouldnt mind a gti daily driver...chip it and be done.

Let's say I'm a car thief and I see this guy's car on the internet and he has some really nice aftermarket parts on his car. You know he lives in an apartment/condo complex and probably doesn't have it garaged. Now you have his license plate number. Now you can get his address if you have some connections. Not really hard to do if you know the right people.

Please explain.
It is to my understanding that the RX-8 is faster than the GTI with both in stock trim. Your GTI is only tinted. The 8 is benefiting from lighter rims and upgraded suspension even though it gets some lbs. back from audio equipment.

your Rx-8 looks very good. in fact. it's got me thinking thoughts about mine that i never had before. i like that nose and the CF hood and trunk. i had already decided to go with a CF hood, but the trunk looks pretty nice, too. say, where'd you buy the wheel lugs?
anyway, i love Dubs, too, so i like your GTI (even though i'm more of a Mk1 man, myself).

Anyways, they are both nice. And yes, you need to take off your traction control. Drop the clutch at 4500 rpm and get back to me. Don't let the smoothness of the rotary deceive you. It's quick. It's not the fastest car in the world. But, it holds its own.
