Nice.

 

The best color for the rx8. Anyway, drop it like its hot.

 

new rims

 

Those r sweet! What size and offset are they?

 

they r 19X10,+20 all around

 

Jimz, what year is your car? It looks like Crystal White Pearl, not WWP. Love it BTW.

 

What about your sideskirts? Mazdaspeed? Did u have them painted? I want to put some full length skirts on, but a paint shop wanted $500to to paint them.

 

nice ride jimz

 

Looks good 49ers! Can't wait for them to win and go to the Super Bowl.

 

I notice the black diffusers (right terminology?) above your rear window, evo style. It there any noticeable improvement from them, and were did you get them? I like the look of it for sure.

 

There vortex fins and you can get them from rotory fx

 

Love this colour. It's a shame there so rare in the UK.

 

Hey guys, just bought my rx8 about a month ago and was out taking photos. I did some HDR editing to them, first attempt at it so let me know what you think.

 

congrats on the new 8! =]

did you use 3 photos at different exposures to make those hdrs? kinda looks like you just tried to make it hdr from one photo which isnt the right way!

but keep the pics coming either way, practice makes perfect!

 

no i just used the hdr editing function on my photoshop cs5 and adjusted different settings...if you could inform me on the right way of doing this it would be great

 

hmmm but did you start with one photo or 3 photos?

 

Nice pics.

 

i guess he is like me... noobs on hdr... i believe he just used 1 photo and as explained used the hdr function on cs5....

 

only used 1 photo...i looked up some hdr videos and see what ur talking about now. These pics don't have very good lighting so I'll attempt some new ones later on

 

here's another attempt that's much better in my opinion...still only using one photo with the HDR toning in CS5...this is of my 2006 VTX1300C

 

What brand of wheels are those on the RX8?

 

Forgestar F14s, same ones I ordered. I get them next week!

 

Sorry I never saw this!

They're Vortex Generators and the guy that owned the car before me had put them on. I just never took them off in fear of damaging the paint or in case the paint was a different color under them. They smooth out airflow over the back of the car and in theory should make the spoiler more effective but I'm sure the only noticeable effect would be at ultra high speeds, like in excess of 120MPH, and even then only slightly. The fastest I've ever been on a track is 115MPH so basically the difference is negligible.


Also, here's a shot from Arroyo Seco Raceway in Deming, NM with the new splitter, which is one aero mod you can definitely feel haha.

 

a couple new rolling shots!
