These are two things that i am definately planning to do if i have the opportunity.... dont worry no pinstripes no strakes.... as you can see from my ride that style is not my thing :anger:

1. Anyone know where i can get some nice titanium tips? I dont really feel like spending the next paycheque on a Ti exhaust.... too $$ :scared:

2. A mini roof spoiler definately looks hot..... as far as i know RE Amemiya and Sansai are the only two companies that make that for the 8........ I have inquired with EVO-R some time ago about the possibility of producing replicas of them but there wasnt enough interest to get the ball rolling.......


On a sidenote... just got a call from the bodyshop... i AM getting my Varis spoiler back today!!! WOOOOOOOHOOOOO

I think they'd look great on a WB, but only if they matched perfectly. Otherwise, they'd contrast. But, you don't have that problem with black since it goes with everything.

BIU have you thought of doing the calipers? Maybe a darker blue.

Great looking car

Thats an interesting idea, I'd love to see how that would look.

I think it would look much better if your car had more blue accents to it. Right now it looks weird with the whole care black and part of the rims blue...

The black seems to make the wheels on Kit look hella small like 14's :cwm27: .

Your wheels look proportioned well though BIU. :rock:

Blue calipers would be subtle enough. Why didn't I think of that? I painted my rear rust bucket rotors and calipers last week :dunno:

BIU 07-26-2006 03:09 PM

hmmmmm blue calipers...................


sounds like a good summer project...

Get some "in motion" type shots. I bet it will look mean!

I'm with this guy. Initially it looked good and stood out, but I took another look and to me it looks like you still have that blue protective plastic stuff on your wheels. Tying it together with a coupla blue accents would def make me do a double take, like blue calipers or blue along the bottom edge sort of like how MS kits have the grey. I dunno, it still looks good if you can get past that protective plastic look.
