fitment was off and took some work to get rid of all the gaps. I dont know the the actual maker of the wing though. The resin has faded because of low quality and mounts are fiberglass and not metal so i made some aluminum ones. If it was not carbon and what i really wanted it would have went in the dumpster.I believe there are a few carbon replicas out there but i can not speak for any of them. replicas are hit or miss on fitment and quality.

Being a LY owner, I've never been a fan of the "bumblebee" look and I'm still not. But you know what they say about opinions... Regardless, the C-West front looks absolutely phenomenal on your car. Excellent choice and props to a very clean car done right.

Found these buried in my computer from last August.

+11111 to that for realz though....... But nah, I got invited to Driven Winnipeg..... So I headed down there from Saskatoon and I ended up meeting her at the show... She was there with a friend who was modelling but said she had never modelled before, so I asked if she'd take some pics with my car..... really cool girl but I live 8hrs away :icon_tdow |
I'd drive 8 hours to hit that every once in a while :)

Nice pics Bee
|
thanks, I enjoy looking at your projects too, I tried to make DGRR but work made it a no go. The guy that took these does a awesome job editing and the canon he uses is insane. More to come through out the summer if if get the car back together.

Saw your 8 at Street Life Tour last year. That thing was immaculate.

Thanks, it has its flaws no doubt. I almost didnt make it due to a leaking brand new 360 forged rim, they are on just for pics and show now. You in Monroe Michigan or Ohio? Im in Toledo.

|
I'm from Monroe, Oh. But damn that sucks, I'm lookin to get lowered sonn and am waiting on the arrival of my new wheels. Hopfully i won't encounter any problems/:

Any plans to come back to Winnipeg for another show? Still wish I could have tested your car while you were here. haha thanks Dean..... No clue about coming back to Winnipeg this summer yet as I'm graduating at the end of April; then taking off to Egypt for 3 weeks then 3 weeks of touring around Asia/Europe where ever my little bro and I end up. Gonna be a sweet summer but won't get much done to the car as I'm starting my full time Job August 1st too. As far as that girl goes I don't remember what her name was anymore and she was telling me to come to some bar because she worked at the front collecting cover; said we could come for free. I think the bar was called Area Nightclub or something like that maybe? All I remember from it was that it was a club located just off one of the main drags in Peg and there was alot of 18 year old kids there... probably some even younger haha Also Bumblebee, I was never a huge fan of the C-West front but seeing it on a LY has definitely opened my eyes... loving it |
Wow that is the ugliest POS ever. Oh, and that bodykit is not "1 of a kind", it is commonly referred to as the "failside" bodykit made my veilside or any number of knock off body kit manufacturers..

I believe it is an "extreme dimensions" kit.. |
Just being honest man, those rims and that kit are the worst ever. Search for thread title, "extreme dimension" and you will see what I mean. Take notes from some (namely bumblebeerx8) of the LY's in this thread. The LY has been around for 8 years, there is not much you could even thing of doing that someone else has not already done.

For those curious about the wheels, I put 20in "status grinder s815" wheels and the tires are 245/30/20.. I am debating on keeping the color solid yellow or to go with some kind of paint scheme. s/n I will be putting a 1 of kind body kit on when it get painted... Thank you for your input
The wheels http://instagr.am/p/I7r_vuuNY1/ The Body Kit http://instagr.am/p/I7st-7uNY7/ Wheels with black center http://instagr.am/p/I7r7RNuNY0/ Wheels with chrome center http://instagr.am/p/I7r3w0ONYz/ Another shot with chrome center http://instagr.am/p/I7rzm-ONYy/ Honestly I like the ideas for the rims. Definitely not something you see everyday and that's a plus in my book. I'd say keep the black center on there with the yellow it really stands out! I say props to anyone who is that passionate about their car and puts that much effort into making it unique. Even if the body kit isn't "one of a kind" who cares it's gonna look amazing on your LY. Keep up the modding buddy and can't wait to see pics of it done. |

anyone has tried to pull off white wheels cn28
something like this http://www.albertroxas.com/wordpress/?p=3209# |
Properly sized, proper wheels on a properly stanced LY RX-8 could look legit.
|
^agreed but must be super agressive. Ive wanted to do a mag blue but not sure it would look good enough. I still like the volk gts and ce28s if i could trade/sell off my piaa super rozzas
|
I've had piaa super rozzas in hyper black on my 8 since they were released. thought about selling them, but still think they look awesome. so i decided to have them re-barreled, re-lipped and polished in hyper silver. the goal is a more aggressive look with a much deeper lip.
|
I could be intersted in the super rozzas if you still had them in August
