Latest mods
Here is the latest evolution of my TiG, part of this post is a direct copy from the Post your aftermarket rims thread, but to add:
Installed '06 Pontiac GTO rear wing...was going to paint it, but I think I am going to keep it black for now...I like how it accents the other black components (BTW, l had tinted headlights on my Scion tC, and seeing them on the RX-8 above, I think I should get them to match my tinted tails no?)
Also, the LED strip on the GTO wing is awesome... My mazda third brakelite is my rear camera housing now, so the Ponitac lighting was a welcome bonus.
Suspension was also lowered with JIC coil-overs, and no rubbing anywhere. Car sticks like glue; gotta turn off DSC all the time now.
Subwoofer and Optima yellow top installed along with lots of grounding straps.
CarPC is due for a new motherboard soon...but is still working fine except I blew up my Nvidia video card, so no high speed graphics or DVD watching for the time being... mostly on FOX news on XM anyways
Finally got the 19 inch Privat multi spokes replaced with something a little more to my liking... just in time for NOPI 2007 this year... These are the wheels Pearlsteath sold me off this forum.... heavy as hell Speed Star D5R (Volk knock offs).
All 4 rims are 19x9 (+45) but I have 255/35 in the front and 275/30 in the back, so semi-staggered if you will... the cool thing is that the color of these rims almost perfectly match the Ti Gray Mazda color... the wheels are a touch on the bluer side, but it is hard to tell in most light... Also added aluminum tuner lugs to complete the look...just need to find some centercaps that fit.

ya. thats what i mean, but are you gonna add a marker lights on ur side mirror, because i think it is safer and easier to change lane with marker lights?
p/s: i have a red tsunami 8 on my wallpaper from showanddrift.com, and i didnt even notice the missing marker lights. anyway, the tsunami is nice.

Anyone have a shot of a TiGrey with RMagic lip? I can't wait for caaahlvinn to mount his and post some pics. It has to to be the nicest lip out there that's not too over the top for a commuter. Looks great in red on Missk's car.
