check the DIY section. There are a few different methods, and it all depends on which brand/style of stakes you have.

WTF, I gotta wait until spring to see a proper PB? I can only look at Kane's car so much and TBK no longer has an 8 so...................Ok, I'll wait I guess

Well, hopefully the majority of the stuff on my "wish list" will be here by then.
However, the heart of my build (turbo), probably won't commence until late spring/early summer. And even then, I'm doubtful
I'll join you and admire Kane's car, until then

Those pics show the color very well. I would be removing the strakes if it were me and throwing on some clear corners.

I actually like the strakes. Aluminum/chrome really goes well with PB, imo.
Those orange corners are another matter...

I prefer the orange ones though... Kinda brings out the blue...

Better than the clear corners imo... Maybe blacked / smoked out ones will be umm....

Hers my mod, why bother changing a wonderful looking cars lines with a body kit? and no to the clear corners, the orange set off the blue so well. Strakes? to each his own.

Well, I'm unfortunately still stored for winter, and will be stored until mid June, as I am leaving for military training. I was hoping to post some pics of my new look, but I guess I gotta be patient...

Parts I have on the the "To do" list by the time she's out:

"En route":
Phantom blue Kei Office reps (via member Jethro Tull)
Lo-Tek center gauge pod

"In the works":
Authentic MS rear underspoiler/wing
Turbo (I'll leave it at that, for now... )
Tein S Techs

"Wish list":
Tokico D Specs
OEM Phantom blue side aero flares (If anyone is looking to sell these, HIT ME UP!!!!)
BHR midpipe
Borla exhaust


How are the rest of you "Menace's" doing? Any new additions to the thread?? Let's see some pics!!

^I'm really digging that "RX8" in your 3rd brake light. Is that in your garage in your new place? That's solid, dude!
Yeah, I got the last set of KO eyelids from JT. Good guy for sure! It's about time you put those on your car lol

Turbo... Mmmmm! I can't say much right now. But, you won't be disappointed

More PHANTOM PICS ARE NEEDED!! **Paging Kane!!**

^ Yeah that's my garage. Finally got the 8 outta the back this weekend. It felt so good to finally drive it again (not trying to rub it in, promise!).

But I'm super jealous of the turbo that's coming.

And I 2nd the request for more phantom blue pics from everyone!!!

ha it's all good. I had the 8 out for a few days, just to give her some revs, cleaning and do a couple things under the hood. It was more of a tease, than anything.

You may be jealous of the turbo, but I'm jealous of that garage! I have to store my 8 on the other side of town! Once I'm back from training, I may be deployed again, so it looks like she's gonna be spending a lot of time behind closed doors...

Wow the front bumper bra actually looks good on phantom blue!

What speed were you doing there? Looked like a very clean exit!
