actually i really wish u left the orange lights in. they were not as bright and wont drown out your great work in pictures. i wanna see it like that. (not telling or asking you to because you have already done a lot but im just saying)

 

No updates, eh?

 

fail

 

hmmm...love it on the Audi. not too sure on the 8. it's like getting the bimmer's angel eyes on an 8. maybe better pics will do it justice?

good job with the installation though!

 

I have to agree 100%. When I first saw this, all I thought of was Audi. Regardless, its the first time Ive seen someone do their own so I have to give credit, it looks pretty cool.

 

No I agree 100%. The Audi's LEDs are pure secks.. but I don't like them on any other car.

 

Nice like rice! j/k good job.

 

 

i give you a B for effort...

 

That's tight.

 

not feeling the LEDs.

 

if your gonna do the string of lights at all, it should be on the headlights

 

I like the idea...but the reason why I like the Audi's lights is hard to explain.

In the R8 pics...you notice that you can see the light strip CLEARLY from the front...at any angle. Mostly because the headlights were built around this concept. Plus...the uneven curve of the headlight makes it even sexier.

The RX-8 headlight doesn't have this curve...OR angle so the light strip is kind of off a little bit. It would probably take a lot of time to get that angle. Know what I mean?

 

looks like a jack-o-lantern jk

 

I Like it. Good job/Thumbs up on doing a modification yourself. Those are always the most fun to work on

Are you planning on doing this for the community, or possibly a DIY like swoop stated earlier?

 

It is almost Halloween...isn't it..?

For those that want to try for themselves....I'll do a DYI, just PM me.

 

such a bassakwards statement...

so is deloren ricer since it had gullwing doors for copying lambo or is it lambo who is rice for copying deloreon? (persoanlly i don't care which person did it first. my point is made. clarification is moot)

Maybe it's FORD who is rice for copying the whole covered wagon idea of 4 wheeled vehicles carrying people around from place to place... Hmmmm

So many cars out there today borrow design influence from each other.

RICE = Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements

But to each his own i guess... opinions and ********...


The lights look great. nice job on them!

 

hey spin you need clear corners with nice HID color LED's and parking light ones to match and you're good to go. nice job.

 

I think you're trying too hard...let Audi's be Audi's and Mazda's be Mazda's...just doesnt look right and you can tell its homemade...I say rice as f**k...

 

wow, there is really no gray area in opinions on this

Either people love or hate it.

 

where is the diy at??

 

Absolutely! The R8 light curve is exquisite ...very Furai actually, with a nice flowing nature to it. But working with the 8 has that's not an option, and there really is no place to mount LEDs at the headlight anyway. The LED position I used are very visible in daylight, at any angle. I'll add some daylight pics later.

Colorwise, I know it's not what most prefer, but I don't care for clearcorners w/ VR, so the warm white LEDs shown match the OEM look. Otherwise using bright white LEDs would match clearcorners well.

...also as I said, pm me for DIY, I've not done it yet, but will when I'm satisfied with what I've done.

 

Nice work. DIY please.
How does it look without the lights on in daytime?

 

Mann..give this old thread a rest!! lol that was like 3 to 4 months ago...and the guy is long gone!

I'm sure he has moved onto other stuff.....not really interested in responding to you guys...

You have to eat it while it's hot....it's three month too late for you dudes!
