meh, I've seen worse, the hood is the only thing that I'm bothered by, makes the car look like it got hit and never fixed.

I think the green/white looks pretty good. I like the Works too, great wheel and love the concave face. But... while a fender pull can look pretty good on a car with flat sides, like a 240SX, it just doesn't look good on the 8 with it's fender flares. I'd have gone with a bit higher offset so that wasn't necessary.

The color scheme is awesome... reminds me of a lot of NSX's I used to see on the Honda forums back in the day. I don't care much for the offset of the wheels but you sem to have that planned out.

Never mind the haters, do what you want man... If you listened to the majority of the members on here, you'd have silver rpf1's or maybe black rpf1's if you're edgy along with a mazdaspeed kit or a burnout lip. Cookie cutter mods don't get recognition... keep it pushing... like the honda guys.

I like the wheels and colours but I agree with the others the guard work could have been better. it has a race car look about it, which I like, but it's rough round the edges like it has been taken to with a hammer just to get it on the track.

can't wait to see it finished.

since your on crazy offset... you should consider the panspeed rear over fenders. I think it will look sick with your set up

The color and rim combo is killer

The fender job and hood fitment wrecks it tho.

Lol the tags, I didn't even make them.

The rear 1/3 of fender liner has since gone back in, like I said, these were immediately after our initial fit!

+1 the gross foggy headlights! I've been too excited with other aspects, they indeed will be taken care of though

If any of you actually do dig this direction boy are you in for a treat. I'm just mad jdm tyte like that, yo.

silvere8 - my rational in doing the rear fenders was, if I can't make it work or they bug me too much, panspeed here I come! You're on the same page as me here

the hoot is tilted on purpose, people do it to move hot air out of the engine bay. Some guys on another board noticed slight drops in under hood temps with the tilt. I don't like it either but whatever works...

I like it. Just need to get rid of those amber sidemarkers and that hood mod. Also needs a body kit. Other than that looks fine. I wouldn't mind putting those wheels on my velocity red mica 8.

There are other (better) ways to drop temps without driving around looking like your car's busted.

Honestly, I like it. Better than half/most setups I've seen here. It's all subjective. Could've done a better job rolling the fenders.
