your miro's still sit with the 25mm spacers? or they sit like that naturally??

 

Boss man needs to pimp some engine bay pics

 

i might get those for $750 used...how do you like them?

 

These are the wheels that I want to use on my 8 and also saw that they didn't come in our bolt pattern. How did you go about having them re-drilled?

 

I like that lip 9K



You said that's a mazdaspeed bumper? I don't understand, it looks like crap! Not the style, the fitment.



I'm not claiming to be an expert or anything, but is it supposed to look like that?

 

It's not authentic...lol

 

@Matrx8- The front is not authentic MS bumper. You should know the difference between authentic and knock-off

 

Yeah, the difference is shitty fitment like that, but he did say it was Mazdaspeed did he not?

I mean, I could understand if I was pretending to be something I'm not...

 

before, after, and after-er

And she is about to go thru another transformation

 

What bulbs are you guys using for these epic amber fog lights?

I tried these Fog Light Halogen Replacement Bulbs Yellow and I'm very unimpressed...

 

The only ones that worked great for me were the HOEN endurance bulbs. I have LED's now.

 

Not exactly a good angle, but it's the only one I had of her whilst bone stock.



And here's an image of how she currently is, exterior wise at least.

 

That would be your opinion. Certainly I am not doing anything to my car to please you. I am not here to defend my choices. I posted my before and after like everyone else. I like it and it gets compliments... more than negative statements. Next...

 

Lancifer:
I like Adam zero more than 1.0 and Adam 2.0 is a wrap? or did you paint?

 

Adam Zero was bone stock. Then Adam zero was vandalized.

Adam 1.0 was paint after the vandalism along with misc stuff.

Adam 2.0 is not paint or wrap. It is plastidip. There is reason behind it. I live in New England and drive the car year round. Dealing with chips in paint and other crap from road salt, road debris and douchebags gets expensive when dealing in paint. So I did a test on my wheels with plastidip to see how it holds up and how it lays. It performed fantastically after 1 year of New England weather. So I put it on my car. I am very happy with the results and the protection has been proven. Best yeah... I can just peel it off when I want something different and it is wicked easy and cheap to repair. Wrap takes some doing to remove. Paint, forget it. Mass drivers are called massholes for a reason (did not learn to drive up here thank god, I would be just as bad). Lots of bumps and scrapes. Easy to fix with dip. When done right dip looks like wrap. If it doesn't look like wrap it isn't the dip it is the person applying it.

I personally love the matte black on the RX-8 I have other pictures we took in my gallery. The lines of the RX-8 really stand out with the matte black finish. Will experiment next season with pearlizer and metalizer to see what I can get. I like 2.0 more than 1.0. the paint on Adam zero didn't match other parts of the car, an obvious repaint on panels. That and everyone has VR. There are other things that went along with each iteration like this one got Koni Struts and Tein s-tech springs.

 

Well I really like it and would be interested in learning a bit more. Especially if its a good price compared to paint which is quite expensive here.

The Car kit includes a sprayer and is 355 for the 4 gallon kit. With the 4 gallon kit I got 8 coats on the car and did the tires. Upkeep is easy via their repair kit. Washing is REALLY easy with their wash rag (no fibers to get lint on the dip) but it also rinsed clean pretty easy with no soap for me this weekend.

It is a rubber coating that peels off so you can go back to your paint job at anytime. Because it is rubber it flexes which helps defend against road debris and salt.

Took us a few hours to do the car and it was driven 60 miles home that same day. Stuff is durable. Watch as many videos on the dipyourcar.com site as you can to see how it is done.
