To allow air to the air filter, it's turbocharged so possibly the filter is there. That is where I have my air filter located. Not pretty but functional.

The wheels are just horrible though.

Rice car?care to Elaborate?
What is it u don't like mate? The manga graphics I had made,the only ones in the world?
Or is it the fact it's turbo'd and not many people in Europe have that?
The wheels? Or shall we all have the standard wheels or Rotas or something?
I've tried to do something different with mine, if I wanted to be boring, then I could of got a ford!
People who have no respect for people's work are bell end's.

I don't like the wheels, stickers (except mm's , manga graphics and blacked out side markers.

It's not like the car is special just because of a turbo kit anyway, cool off.

Car is legit minus the wheels and graphics. I want a RHD 8 just to say I have one lol. You built your car to YOUR liking not ours. Our opinions really shouldn't matter as long as YOU are happy with how it looks. We are just stating our personal preferences.

He does what he wants with HIS money. You have a different opinion than his, doesn't make it wrong.

+1, if you've got a modified car, to any degree, props for it. Props for making a car what you want it to be. Are there things we'd all do differently? Yeah. Heck, most of us with our very own cars, even.

Very nice pics, everyone.

I'll go on and post a pic of mine here. I may with this picture in previous pages, but ah well. All the more VR Love.

Me and my buddy decided to try each others shoes on today. These are my G35 wheels on his VR 8. The G wheels are 18x8 with a 30mm offset, and he also had 25mm spacers on in this picture.

The G wheels look really good on the RX-8 (better than on their own car. )

And the gold looks surprisingly good on a VR.

I love these G wheels! And I picked them up for 200 bucks so I cannot complain. I for sure think I need some spacers though, because my rear doesn't look as good as his in this picture and mine is lower.

Is that for your windshield Rx8 specific, and where did you get it/how much?

And how much has it been helping? I've really been considering getting one myself. Summer is ridiculous.

They make and RX-8 specific one, but they are the standard hard fold able one. I actually got this one free at the Texas8, I think it was from the dealer. It fits perfect and folds up in a circle the size of a plate. It definitely works great.

I could use the covered parking since I have my own spot but parking there is tight and I worry about door dings so I usually just take up two spots and deal with the sun
