Dedication / 1000th / before-after post

Ok so I figured after all these post i might as well do one on my ride for my 1000th post. I posted a few times on the forum before I got my 8. and I have gotten quite a bit of information about the 8 / rotary and aftermarket parts. This forum and its member have been a great help to me. I have even made some good friends along the way.

The wheels are Volk SF Winning 19x8.5+40 all around with Racing Beat Springs.
Over the past year and a Half i have added both rotary accents, fender strakes, the front lip Racing Beat Intake and Rotary Volumn ****. Kind of doing some performance, some appearence and some interior mods.

Makes me want to make a dedication of my own....it's crazy to look back on pictures as you continue to make modifications to the car. It's nice to see where you are, and where you've come from.

YEAH i love how the car has changed and unless you look back at the pictures one doesnt really get a sense of how dramatic they are. thanks for the kind words.

the mesh is gloss black to my knowledge and custom done. they were orginally from an evo, then one 8 to me. the fitment is not perfect but the look is great. if i am to get some new wheels the offset will be better but i like the look. i purchsed them in the for sale forum so i have no idea how long it would take to order.

Average wait time for custom RAYS wheels is around 3-3.5 months. I waited for 93 days to get my CE28N's =)
