I waxed & detailed my Black RX8 after a long winter and took a couple pictures this weekend... here's one of them. Now I just need to get the snow shoes off next week

Hey guys,
Just wanted to post a few of my 8. My girlfriend was at a photo shoot and the photographer decided he wanted the 8 in the pics! I have not done a whole lot to the exterior yet though, just rx8 center caps and valve stem covers, rotor front and rear, red brake calipers, fender strakes and clear corners. I am saving up for the turbo so exterior is on hold but rims will be in the future I know!
if anyone wants a great photographer and near NC, let me know and I will send over his info.
Later!

Question!
Hey guys, I am hoping to get an RX-8 in the near future.. black is OUT OF HAND! I was blown away by everyone's car, great job guys! I was wondering - what did cortc (Page 9) and F3P (page 7) put on their cars?? What body kit/ rims, etc.
Also, what is a ball-park figure to get your RX-8 looking like on of those - Body kit / shipping / installation / paint job etc.? Also, is anyone from the Miami, Fl area? Thanks a lot guys, and great job! Very beautiful cars

On another note, I think we may have a black that can give Cortc some competition (It's not mine)...what do you guys think?

The previous posted RX-8 has the vertex lang body kit. Dunno the rims....
Cortc has the Mazdaspeed body kit with HRE 545's. All I can say is... wow. Cortc has lots of money
To give you a ballpark estimate, (roughly rounded estimates) the Mazdaspeed front bumper is about 1000, side skirts 700, rear bumper 1000, and rear spoiler 1000. Cortc's rims... hahaha... don't even wanna talk about those.
